You managed to cut through the crap. Other people could do the same but, I think, are simply not interested. The UK has a rightwing population.

I don't think folks are genetically right wing, which would suggest manipulation indeed

England may have a large right wing population, Scotland certainly doesnt, but we have to put up with what England wants !

True but we do have a burgeoning left wing media - much smaller I grant you but still there: @thecanaryuk.bsky.social
@declassifieduk.org @doubledownnews.bsky.social
Sqwarkbox - sadly not on Bluesky and then one or two msm with a much fairer balance like @channel4news.bsky.social

I wouldn't put Channel 4 news in there at all, I've seen far far too much neoliberal establishment nonsense from them!

Sadly you need to go online to get any meaningful leftist stuff in the UK

robertfifoot.bsky.social•14 days ago

Look what happened to Novara media, that was meant to be the kinda mainstream leftist news and opinions outlet :(

Yes indeed. But some like The Canary are completely unbowed and undaunted thankfully.
