Brexit - or Article 50: the Phoenix!

[Kellfire]

About time someone pointed out the blindingly obvious.... 🤔 Organisation that receives funding from the EU falsely portrays leaving the EU as negative.?

Who’d have thought?

A newspaper who benefits from Brexit portrays staying in the UK as positive?

Who’d have thought?

Surely the big difference is that people can choose whether or not to buy the Telegraph whereas people don't have a choice whether to pay for the BBC and part of its mandate is to be impartial and free from political interference.

Could you please explain how the Daily Telegraph benefits from Brexit?

I agree that their editorial stance is supportive of Brexit but I am afraid that I cannot see how they benefit.

Look up their ownership and editorial slant. Yes, it’s a lazy response but I won’t claim anything else.

So you accept that the Telegraph does not BENEFIT from Brexit.

I have already acknowledged their support for leaving and yes, thank you, I am well aware of the paper's ownership.

Historically newspapers have always taken a stance on political issues but the question was whether, on Brexit, the BBC as a State sponsored broadcaster has remained impartial as its Charter requires.

Wow. The blind will not see.

Yes I can see that you have that difficulty.

Manifests itself in an inability to face the question that has been asked, quite probably due to not having an answer.

So the great British marquee JLR’s new Defender will not be made in Britain but in Slovakia.

How long till someone blames Brexit or ‘the Indian owners’ for this?

Brexiteer Tory MP complains that the BBC does not slavishly repeat the views of leavers without question, that is printed by a paper with a strong leave bias. Hold the front page, it must be true.........

You claim that article is true, I'll claim this claim is true. Or alternatively we could both say the truth that it is desperate paranoid conspiratorial BS on both sides, but where's the fun in that. The fact that the BBC upsets the more easily triggered on both sides means they are probably doing their job quite well.

Maybe someone will benefit from this. Maybe Bercow will become the new Director General when he retires as Speaker and continue the current levels of impartiality.

No, I'm afraid you have got it wrong as this completely unbiased source says the BBC is right wing. So it must be true as I am very easily triggered.

And this completely unbiased source says the same. Must be true.

I made no claims, simply said "BBC info" and gave the link - up to the reader to decide if it's true or not.

But I fail to see how an organisation that has multi million pounds in grants from the EU along with over £140m in loans from the same people can be impartial.

I'm pretty sure the vast majority of people on this thread have benefited in some way from the areas they live in or the organisations they work for having received assistance/loans/money from the EU. But that does not seem to have impacted their views of the EU.

Yep, company I worked for took/accepted money from the EU and used it to move jobs out of the UK and on to the continent... Well chuffed about that NOT!

Siri, show me a story that demonstrates the incompetence of those involved with Brexit and is a perfect example of us just pointlessly spunking away money on this that is so needed in other areas.

Be aware it has naughty words being spoken

Where did the EU get this money the vast majority of us have benefited from. Did they work for it, did they print it or did we give it to them?
