Maybe I'm a "perverted reactionary" but from reading the quality
dailies in Britian during a 3 week visit I concluded that the Guardian
was the most left-wing, the Times "moderate", and the Daily Telegraph
(often referred to as "the Daily Torygraph") fairly right-wing.

Granted, you don't see "Resolutely Resist"-style headlines in the Guardian,
but the paper's editorial line seems close to that of the Labour Party
(which can be pretty left-wing, as anyone familiar with the antics of
Tony Benn and Ken Livingston will testify).
