This is one of the areas of discretion that they have - but little/no doubt that France and VdL are driving this as a matter of retribution.
There is very little if any justification of staying in the EU with such nasties. Matter of principle, imo.
So you Remainers, in "we told you so" or "you voted for it" mode should really be standing up for the UK.

Not hypocrisy at all. The directive is designed to (amongst other things) preserve the cultural identity of member states. We are not a member state, therefore the Directive no longer applies. Not really sure what the confusion is here unless you wanted to keep the good EU bits and not the bad bits (French bits it seems)
Anyway, British media companies should be exploring growth opportunities further afield, just like our farmers, fishermen,
etc.
