    Agreed. I voted for The Guardian.

    To the OP: Where is the Independent?

    Anybody who chooses the Daily Mail should slap themselves as punishment for being so daft.

    Even though it is part of the Murdoch Empire, I still think the Times is a great paper.

    It's owned by Murdoch and is basically a sister paper of the DailyMail.

    Fair play.
    I do however find it entertaining reading the 2 pages where people text and email in their comments. I wish they'd get rid of the Good Deed Feed and replace it with a Bad Deed Feed instead.

    I like the Times personally. Although nothing beats the Metro when you are on the train/tube.

    I'm a fan of The Independent and The i. Could those be added?
    No point in having both though, because The i is a sister paper of The Independent.

ID:	166029The Times is by far and away the best paper Britain has to offer. In terms of it's content, wide ranging topics and equality of views.

    I know some people have to pay for it online now but it's more than worth it.

    For someone like me who enjoys politics but football more the weekly webchats they do with respected journalists is fantastic with people putting their questions to them in real time.

    Only today I asked former sprinter Michael Johnson whether he thought he could have beat Usain Bolt had they competed against each other
