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.

Meh, the Audiovisual Media Services Directive sets quotas for how much EU sourced Video on Demand media should be present in an effort to preserve the cultural identity of member states and promote domestic media production. As we voted to leave, we no longer fall under the Audiovisual Media Services Directive so UK sourced media falls in to the same category as US based media.
Just a consequence of leaving the Single Market. Difficult to get too excited...
Only for video on demand mind you, For broadcast, different rules apply (European Convention on Transfrontier Television)
