Top story in an English newspaper is on English news about controversial politicians? Weird, I wonder what American papers tend to report on.

It's rather silly because I usually just scroll past the trump stuff in the same way I do other stories. I don't comment on it if I have nothing to say. Again, trump or not, a story is a story. It'd be the same if we were talking about any politician.

Yes the top story on The Independent is to do with Jeremy Corbyn not Trump like you said.

It's nearly everything posted in this thread. He’s discussed enough to have his own thread. Just ban posters who get abusive.

Just one newspaper mate. I was using google news (which curates news stories from several sources) for a reference if that helps.

It's a news story thread. We've had a Trump thread and it got closed for good reason. Best to keep it that way.

Ah, I understand now. It was the top news story except for that it wasn't. Cheers.

I don't remember this thread ever being about top stories. I thought it was stories you couldn't believe actually happened. Plenty of stories in here aren't even top stories.
