Abstract
On the rationale that metaphors have a persuasive function, the article examines a corpus of British and Spanish newspaper articles to focus on metaphors, analyzing them from the vantage point of Critical Metaphor analysis. It finds that, beyond political stance, local resources also have an impact on metaphor use in the analysed material.
