No to the point in bold. I'm well aware of an agenda. If people are honest, if they have a side, they would rather read what is more palatable to their 'mainly' held views. I was genuinely wondering if there is such an outlet (website perhaps) that offers balance as oppose to the binary press.
I would say the answer there is a resounding No. There is no unbiased publication anywhere. All screen or printed media will have a biased view intentionally or unintentionally which is natural. The problem is though that they intentionally add to that bias by the way they present "the facts."
If you find one that just says everything like it is and includes the pros and the cons no matter their narrative then you should share it.
I choose not to read the Mail/Express as its fairly immediately vile to many humans that don't share the same religion/skin colour or weird sentiment about how Britain used to be. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
I don't read the Mail or Express either and I am a "right winger."
I do of course read Mail and Express articles as well as Guardian and all the others. This is the facebook generation and the "self propaganda" society ensures my newsfeed is full of right and left "told you so" shares from all sides of the political spectrum. I take all of them "left and right" with a pinch of salt however I cannot ever say I do not agree with some more than others because we will always tend to favour what we believe ourselves. I am however an individual and not swayed by things that agree with me when I still doubt that they 100% give me the whole story.
Look back on my posts where I said that the "employers" were taking advantage of migrant labour and that when I worked in the food industry it was 3 strikes and you are out. I said then it was widespread and that Sports Direct was a public "showcase" whereas it was industrywide in all walks of low paid emplyment. People laughed at me and talked of how could people/unions accept this? Last week Channel4 exposed JD Sports as running an "illegal" strikes and out system as well as many other "worse than Sports Direct" policies. The same show detailed a winning compensation claim from migrants that had been for all purposes slaves to their agency bosses.
That case was an agency that provided workers to my workplace (and many others) that eventually ousted myself and all the Brits I used to work with from our workplace via "strikes" for nothings and no union stood up for us and society decided we were lying. You will see many ore of these coming to light now the media has learned they have an audience for this and you will see many more politicians like Vince Cable that feel forced to say "this is not right" while they are the same politicians that fed the "Lazy Brit" lie based on a small proportion that actually were.
I told you how low paid employers are using agencies as a shield to say "we are not guilty!" Everytime from now that you hear more and more of these companies called out by a media that is altering to actually detail what is/was happening think of what I said and then question how you bought the narrative of "Lazy Brits." I always said I am married to an immigrant. I have no problems with immigrants. I don't in reality have a problem with immigration but I have a huge problem with a system that utilises a small proportion of scroungers to brand ME and people like me!
I will fight racism with you. I will fight bigotry with you. I will not agree with you on this denial of what has been happening to British citizens for the past decade with the compliant approval of British society for a decade!
They go by the Clinton statement of "its the economy stupid" and do not care who that statement affects as long as the $$ rolls in. People can f off as long as we as UK plc are growing.
This is the tip of the iceberg that you all didn't/don't believe is/was happening and you all wanted to believe the employer/society narrative of lazy Brits based on the small proportion that are lazy.
The reality is worker's rights. You all seem to want worker's rights but then do not seem to understand how worker's rights have put paid to the Brits because Brits will demand these rights while employers want cheap and obeyant workers that do what they are told for the cheapest price possible. Something the Blair/Brown and Cameron lot were very happy to facilitate and on screen to make excuses for and something that is rife in low paid employment across this country with the media and politicians (and these days much of society) ready to shout "Lazy Brits" when the reality is the small amount of "lazy Brits" are as small as the actual "racists" but are a good cover to tar all the rest of us if it suits those who are in charge.
And you wonder why there is a movement against the "establishment!"
I experienced what was happening when the migrants were first "brought" to this country living in houses with 100 people, yet 1 kitchen, 3 toilets and each room of a 4 story house having 8 mattresses on the floor. I didn't go there to be shocked and report on it. I went there because I worked with these guys (and girls) and I trained a fair amount of them prior to me getting on the Strike and out route. These were terrible conditions. Not war and tents like we see on TV but this was in the UK in modern day where people were cramped in rooms in huge houses with no real beds, smoking in all rooms, houses unregistered as HMOs yet.....................forget that "Lazy Brits."
This country is going to be very shocked this year...............if the main channel (BBC) actually report on it.
You should also see the narrative is "poor migrants." These guys have suffered but there is no quesiton to why the Brits lost their jobs. Just poor migrants. I pulled my wife from one of these multi occupancy homes. We have our moments of anger and discontent but that does not alter the fact that I am married to someone whom you all accuse me of being against. A black and non British woman.
Check out the CH4 segments. They were in the news last week. The Beeb will not report on them. They are pretty indicative of what is actually happening in low paid Britain.
