Doesn’t Russia, China and N Korea resort to that stuff? “Our friends in Europe” are definitely the enemy. Gloves need to come off and the public should be made aware that there are better friends available with whom we can spend our money.
Remainers - what do you say to the latest EU wheeze? They are the enemy.

It's what you voted for Seph.
In simple terms. The UK has left the EU. British content is likely to no longer qualify as European content for the purposes of the quotas that EU broadcasters have to abide by after a future review scheduled in 2024.
Brexit has been described as a slowly deflating tyre and this type of thing supports that description and also flags a potential reduction in our soft power.
It would be good if the UK could negotiate on this issue but I suspect we might just see more English language content with British actors made in Ireland and elsewhere in the EU.
