If not the Daily Mail, then which online UK paper?
 
The Daily Mail is constantly slagged off on here, so which online newspaper do you use to give you a fair and informative view of what is going on back in the old country?

I don't read any of the UK papers online and certainly not the Daily Mail (wouldn't wipe my backside with it). I get news from BBC and Sky websites. Neither of them are perfect, but they're the best of the bunch, IMO.

I go to the BBC site for the sports news (to keep my fantasy EPL team alive, basically) and to http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/ for the real news.

I just generally like to stay informed on what's going on in the world and the UK papers give a more worldwide account than Australian ones which stay much more to their own shores. I have a children living in the UK and what's going on there effects them and their lives.

Times on line and the Guardian - I like to get a balanced view!

Just the Beeb. I'm not that interested in UK goings on and can get a quick overview of the world as a whole. It's not perfect, but it does me. If I'm interested in something specific I'll dig deeper and go to a site for the country in question.

I know a lot of UK expats that read the Torygraph, but it's not quite my thing.
