"supporting" the conservatives in England but the SNP in their Scottish edition.
surely to god even their readers can't be thick enough to fall for this.
they will claim they influenced the votes in those areas when really all they did was back the odds on jolly and hope it sells few more copies.

You should put this on the politics forum.

When the Mirror did it a few weeks ago it caused a few 'meltdowns.' Laugh

The Sun editor was on Sky news and boasted that their opinion was important because "look everyone's talking about it"? eh, Sky are only talking about it because like the Sun they are owned by Murdoch and it's a case of self promotion.

Page 3 was past it's sell by date so they got rid, I think the paper is past it's sell by date too and will probably move online only withing the net few years, no where near as important or influential as it used to be, or any paper for that matter.

You're wrong again.

I've never been a regular Sun reader or a regular reader of many of the other papers if it comes to that.

The issue Dr C. is that in the English papers one of the reasons they give for promoting the Tories is that it will stop the SNP having any control over the UK.
By:
Dr Crippen
When: 30 Apr 15 21:16
Thanks for the reply akabula.

A newspaper is supposed to represent the best interests of its readers.
So while the Sun considers the Tories the best option for readers south of the border, they consider the best interests of the Scotch (I love writing Scotch) would be better served by the SNP.

Just seems a bit two faced. BTW Scotch is a drink which we Scots export to the rest of the world.
When will you Limeys learn the difference. Wink
By:

When: 30 Apr 15 21:33
I know the difference between Scotch and Scots alright akabula.

I just love using Scotch since I met a Scotsman on holiday who corrected me for saying Scotch, when in fact I'd said Scots.
I had a witness who confirmed that I had said Scots not Scotch as well.
He was so used to correcting people that he automatically gave me the same lecture that you just gave me.
So I always say Scotch these days simply to annoy the Scotch.

what a marvellous anecdote Plain

anyway we all know the sun are just trying to destroy the labour vote in scotland as the tories get one seat at best so it's all just a huge kid on. the sun always jump on the bandwagon then claim they steered it.
how can you support the unionist cause on one side of the border and the anti unionist party on the other and expect anyone to see you as anything but cheap opportunists.
