    'The Daily Star is read by people who don't know what a country is. But they like TITS'

    Mis recomendaciones para los buenos periódicos ingleses son 'The Guardian', 'The Independent', 'The Times' y 'The Telegraph.

    .....and the Independent is read by people who think the country is a place you go for your holidays....(as it was once completed in "Punch.")

    hahahahahah thanks for the answer! I do not only read the Daily Mail. I mainly read the BBC and the Guardian or the Independent sometimes but it is true that when I was attending English lessons in Spain, some books recommended to read the Daily Mail to get to know how an English sensationalist newspaper looks like. Could you recommend me a good objective British newspaper? Thank you

    The comments section of the Daily Mail website is basically a zoo. It's very upsetting to think you used their 'newspaper' to learn about the country. If you want to live a happy life it is something you should avoid like the plague. Most of us just try our best to pretend it doesn't exist and hope we never meet any of its readers.
