Britain’s partisan press takes aim at the ‘Brexshit’
- cirrus-clouds 8y agoIn the UK, we are truly cursed by the worst national print press in Europe. The deputy editor of the right-wing tabloid newspaper The Daily Express admits he feels 'slightly responsible' for the current political chaos due to the paper's Brexit stance. He voted 'remain' but nevertheless pushed for leave in the newspaper [1]. This should tell you everything about the integrity of people who work in the national press. I wrote this piece about the British press before the 2017 UK General Election election - it gives you a flavour of what our press is like: https://medium.com/@dontvoteconservativeuk/uk-general-election-2017-coverage-in-the-media-cfc2d10f451c https://medium.com/@dontvoteconservativeuk/uk-general-electi...

- richrichardsson 8y agoIt's been Brexshit from the outset. I can't understand why the people that voted for it want anything other than a complete break from Europe, and that some are seemingly unaware of exactly what that entails. I live in hope that these last two years will cut to a shower scene, and the UK will wake up thinking, "Jesus! That was a mental dream!", but I'm pessimistic and fully expect No Deal.
