Re: Brexit discussion
Why is it his duty to be positive? He's a reporter not a cheerleader. I imagine you could take a lot of topics and find that reporter sentiment is largely negative from the NHS to transport. Things make news when they're going wrong, not when everything is working smoothly, and for that matter the reporting can reflect the reality of the situation.
This is about trying to shut people up from criticising the government by pretending balanced coverage means 50% positive and 50% negative reporting. |

And just in case anyone's in any doubt about Juncker's plans for the EU and where it's heading they include further expansion, moving towards compulsory membership of the Euro for all member states and an end to national vetoes.

Re: Brexit discussion
Where's Nick Clegg to tell us again that an EU army is a dangerous fantasy, everything Juncker said today shows exactly why brexit is happening and also shows the EU hasn't learnt a damn thing just gone back to their usual expantionist federal head in the sand approach.

On Brexit, we know some of what we're losing but pretty little of what we're gaining. City AM, one of the many pro-Brexit media, made the point reluctantly in an editorial that it had not seen a business case for Brexit for the UK service industry. That sector makes up 80% of the UK's exports. If a pro-Brexit publication can be critical about the Government's efforts here, rest assured less biased ones will be even more critical. ---------- Post added at 23:23 ---------- Previous post was at 23:17 ---------- Quote:

Most politicians lie to varying extents, they have to or the mugs wouldn't vote for them. Reporters would tear them to shreds if they honestly answered questions (e.g. what do you think of job your PM is doing ? ). Most try to not answer questions than outright lie, but don't always succeed. Our crappy media culture is partly to blame. |

Be good to hear some substantial comments on why Norgrove's fears are unfounded rather than the platitudes and insults we're currently getting from HMG. Dan Hannan utterly failed to supply anything of substance yesterday in his debate with Ian Dunt on LBC. This is a guy who has had an awful lot of time to put flesh on the Brexit bones. I'm very open to being convinced that EFTA/EEA isn't the best way forward for the UK. I'm yet to hear anything substantial to indicate otherwise. ---------- Post added at 10:44 ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 ---------- Actually let me ask peeps here - if we go WTO, which it looks like we will, the EU's tariffs kick in on our exports to them. What would people have us do in response? |
