… in the UK
- gelert 2y agoThe Times is a UK newspaper with a British audience. I agree the HN title is disingenuous though.
- barbazoo 2y agoYup, just didn’t want people outside the Uk to get hopeful at all :)

Especially with a lot of UK papers printing "US editions" now - even the goddamn BBC redirects me to a "US news" site when I attempt to access BBC News. If I wanted US-centric news the BBC is probably the last place I'd check but I guess clicks and ad revenue reign supreme.
