Channel 4 is not left wing, people who think it is tend to be tories. In fact, anything that isn’t right wing, like the centrist Independent, is usually considered left wing by tories. The Observer is more centrist than left, likewise the Guardian. The Mirror/Sunday Mirror are pretty much centrist as well, which is about as far left as you can get in mainstream British politics these days.
One of the oddities of the modern world is that viewpoints held as left wing for decades are now considered centrist, even though they never actually changed. The meter shifted half a mile to the left and anyone that didn't shift with it is now a centrist or far right.
It’s the complete reverse. The current Tory party is populated by people who would have found a home in the national front in the 70s/80s. Any decent, reasonable centre right politicians were evicted from the party on the altar of brexit. Decent people and politicians like Anna soubry, Dominic grieve, Rory Stewart and quite a few others should be the kind of talent leading the party today. Instead the media have pushed their hard brexit to enrich an elite few and they’ve done it using blatant racism to play on peoples fears. People like Trump being in any way mainstream would have been unheard of 20/30 years ago with his right wing views and repeated racist comments.
What is it with you people and Trump. You won the election, we're nearly halfway through the next term and you're still crying about Trump. I almost feel like you're annoyed you've lost a bogeyman.
The point with Trump is that he hasn't been lost.
He's still ruling the American right with an iron fist and they've bought completely into his stolen election fantasy out of fear of their lunatic base. Have you seen some of the absolute whackjobs the GOP is putting up for the general election in November, including for statewide offices like governor? Just thank christ not all of them won their primary.
The Tories are not far behind them.
