Talk:The Sunday Post

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

characterised by a 'folksy' mix of news, sentimental stories and short features

Can anyone clarify this? What is meant by "folksy"? Apart from the My Week feature, most of what is described would seem to apply to just about any Sunday tabloid.

Also:

With its wide circulation and longevity, The Sunday Post may have set a model for written Scots and its spelling that was more widely-read and understandable than the literary Lallans of the Scottish Renaissance poets[citation needed].

This really does need a citation! The only parts of the Sunday Post that are written in Scots are the comic strips The Broons and Oor Wullie - everything else is in English, with BrE standard spelling and grammar. AdorableRuffian 19:44, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Political allegiance

The political allegiance of the paper is listed as "Scottish-centric". What does this mean? It links to Scottish independence. Has the Sunday Post taken a pro-independence stance? If so, cite it please. Mutt Lunker 17:35, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
