the Guardian is a left-liberal paper, always has been. the paper of the part of the upper (middle) class that's never in power.

they don't know all alien abduction experiences can be explained by people thinking saving private ryan was a documentary

quote:

These organisations, all of which are listed on the Royal Family website, include: BirdLife Australia, which is dedicated to the conservation, study and enjoyment of Australia’s native birds and their habitats, the Mount Everest Foundation, which funds British and New Zealand expeditions to mountainous regions of the world, and Muscular Dystrophy UK, which provides care and funding research for muscular dystrophies and allied disorders.

the crown got so desperate to find some charity work they try to pass off overcrowding the poo poo out of everest by white people as giving

birding is just boomer eco tourism

I'm guessing muscular dystrophy uk is legit... probably

the royals literally have nothing better to do with their time than just slum it occasionally for some charity do every now and then

i like how prince andrew was the trade envoy for ages, with people making snide remarks how he wasn’t really qualified for such a task. well little did we know what he was probably doing for queen and country

Please do not disrespect Prince Andrew. He is a war hero that has seen so much combat that his bady hardened body has become unable to sweat.

I guess I can see Turkey but at least they have to keep their good journalists in prison cells to get that bad. But how can the Australian press really be worse?

I dunno this one's leaving me feeling hollow. Normally it's pretty exciting when a british royal bites it, but PP's like the least exciting royal he's just an uncharming douchebag, and he made it to 99 and like, once they're past 75 what's even the point?

The main reason the British press is so bad is that its basically imported Australian press.

Great. Fantastic. I hope the royals at least clean their shoes before the opinion column starts the bootlicking.

no, the guardian is categorically not left wing, it is a Liberal newspaper with a capital L and always will be

the mirror is probably the only actual left wing major newspaper, and even then that's fairly nominal as it's still a British tabloid

this country is sick and i pray that it dies soon

Yeah. If you tell any normie brit that the guardian isn't left wing you sound completely loving mad

A lot of people just expect there would be a full spectrum of papers so obviously as the left most paper it's left wing

I just had this discussion with my parents who said they read both the guardian and the telegraph to get all sides (but obvs mostly agree with the telegraph and chortle at the guardian). In the end I sent them this article as one that the guardian categorically would not ever publish: https://tribunemag.co.uk/2021/04/how-protestors-get-the-blame-for-police-violence

e: then they got mad that I asked how much london property do you think that the newspaper owners own when they sent me articles about how we all should go back into the office
