Remember that ‘cabinet’ memo, you know the one that said we’re all doomed because of Brexit and which said May was not in control? Remember how the BBC splashed it over their news for days, insisting that the ‘cabinet’ memo was very important…telling us…‘the document does matter because it underlines what we have reported and others have written about many times.’?
Of course it didn’t matter one jot…it wasn’t ‘cabinet’ memo at all but a job application in essence by a company touting for business as a consultant…this was the BBC spreading misinformation on a massive scale in order to make Brexit seem an ever more unattractive prospect and put the pressure on for a change of mind.
The problem the BBC has these days is that the Internet makes lying much more tricky. Not only can people easily fact-check you but can then disseminate the truth to counter your lies that much more easily as they have never been able to before.
That doesn’t stop the BBC still trying to pull the wool over our eyes though…it valiantly battles on against the truth and the facts to spread doom and gloom about Brexit by blaming it for every price rise, every fall in sales, and so often neglecting to connect the OPEC decision that put up oil prices, or the steep rise in world commodity prices, to price rises here, instead blaiming them on Brexit. Only this morning we were told that shoppers had returned a lot of items they bought online in January and therefore the high retail sales were misleading and shops didn’t sell as much as claimed…due to Brexit. So people bought stuff…looked at the BBC news about Brexit and decided to return the items ‘because of Brexit’? Desperate stuff from the BBC.
Still, they chose to just ignore a good news story for the UK economy #DespiteBrexit as PWC announce [as the Guardian tells us]…
‘UK could be fastest-growing G7 economy if it gets trade deals right’
The UK could shake off the near-term impact of Brexit to become the fastest-growing economy in the G7 group of rich countries between now and 2050, according to a report that paints a bright outlook for the country’s prospects outside the EU.
Consultants PwC say the UK economy will not escape entirely unscathed from the decision to leave the bloc and that it will dampen growth prospects in the short term. But the brunt of the impact would be felt by 2020 and in the years that follow the UK would outperform its peers thanks to its relatively large working age population and its flexible economy.
I can’t see it at all on the BBC website, if it’s there it’s not prominent and I didn’t hear it mentioned once on the radio today…which, when you consider the torrent of anti-Brexit coverage we got as the BBC surrendered their network to the fake ‘Cabinet memo’ story , is remarkable…a report that suggest the UK could have the best performing economy in the G7 and the BBC ignores it?
The BBC spins on an industrial scale a false anti-Brexit story but ignores one that adopts a completely different perspective on the outcome of Brexit to that peddled by the BBC itself….and this report comes from PWC who were on the Remain side during the referendum.
What does the BBC choose to publicise?
Tax burden to be highest in 30 years, says think tank
Tax is set to rise as a share of the UK’s income to its highest level since 1986, according to a think tank.
Higher income from taxes and relatively low growth will combine to create this effect, according to the the Institute for Fiscal Studies.
how, if my wages dont go up they are still taking the same amount, which taxes are rising exactly
I can recommend a very easy and satisfying way to save £145 a year in tax.
I’ve been doing it for 8 years now, with no questions asked.
IFS: “Higher income from taxes and relatively low growth…”
Don’t taxes come from income, rather than the other way round?
Regrettably not Owen, not if you work for the BBC.
If you work for them, income comes from taxes.
Yep. Our taxes, their income.
Which they then use to vilify us. It really must stop.
It’s not just turkeys voting for Xmas, it’s turkeys paying the farmer too. And the abattoir. It really must stop.
A couple of weeks ago, BBC News skipped over – faster than lightning – the fact that the strength of the US Dollar was forcing prices upwards worldwide, not just here in the UK. I think it was on one of those numerous days after Brexit when GBP gained value against EUR, so they couldn’t exactly isolate GBP as a sole loser “because of Brexit”.
The BBC, the establishment, and economists themselves, are learning (or, more probably, are not) that there is no such thing as bad economic news in a free market economic system. The lesson they should be learning is that increased government interference in a free market economy and the imposition of a common currency within an ever-expanding group of countries (The EU) will produce more negative economic effects than positive.
We are already seeing the economic benefits of leaving the EU and we haven’t left yet! We are seeing the exact opposite of what we were promised would happen on a Leave vote – recession, job losses, an exodus of bankers from The City, etc.
If there was a second EU referendum (a re-run), how many of those who voted Remain would now vote Leave, seeing as the doom and gloom has turned out to be quite a rosy and bright future?
As long as we retain our own currency and remove the one-size-fits-all bureaucracy of the EU, we will always be Great Britain.
I think that the ‘Cabinet memo’ which in fact was a Deloitte internal memo, was fake news . Either the BBC knew it wasn’t a Cabinet memo in which case it was broadcasting a lie, or just didn’t know because it didn’t do any journalistic verification, which is equally apalling. It’s ironic that both the BBC and Channel 4 news are hyperventilating about fake news from an assumed position of moral superiority, yet they are major purveyors of out and out fake news or, more subtly, biased interpretations of news. One is as bad as the other.

Despite Brexit and using his technological/engineering skills he was able to avoid the fleet of Foriegn Registered fishing vessels along with thier trawl nets amid a complete `Storm` of controversy whipped up by a combination of Global Warming/Climate Change and at the same time calculate the increasing distance of the UKs drift towards the Far Right away from the European continent (again using his superior muslim mathematics skills) he landed his craft and fought his way past skin headed non existent members of ur Borders force to our own BBC embedded corespondent / spokesperson for the British people Laura Knuenssberg with a renewed offer of one Euro his application for a National Insurance Number and his `wealth of knowledge` in engineering an excuse to stay here in return asking only the £60 billion we `OWE` to the EU as an interim payment whilst the full cost of us leaving the EU is added up prior to a demand for payment in full… He is currently waiting for his first benefits claim to come through and has his feet up watching a Reggie Yates expose on racism on his big screen television in a social housing complex in Tower Hamlets….
In the latter part of the show we will host a debate on this new improved offer from our friends and superior poilitical advisors in Brussels and taking part will be Tim Farron, Anna Soubry, investigative journalist Stacey Dooley and global issue authority BONO direct from his offshore tax haven on the side of the EU and representing the side of the British will be nobody, or maybe a really stupid english person with a skinhead haircut and if time allows an accompanying soundbite carefully edited to encompass all the racism and xenophopic sentiment of the far right extremist views of racist white little Englanders who hate foriegners and black people in the UK… but outside the metrocentric diverse conurbation of London and it`s suburban outreach areas whish float around above reproach in a f**king bubble of flatulant remarks and facile opinions without foundation in the real world sense…
