    Be interesting what editorial integrity the bbc cranks up in response.

    Are the Beeb reporting this?

    https://brexitcentral.com/chequers-plan-still-leave-uk-judges-subservient-ecj/

    Martin Howe, Chairman of Lawyers for Britain: How the Chequers plan would still leave UK judges subservient to the ECJ

    “… the courts of the United Kingdom will be required to “pay due regard” to rulings of the ECJ. This is quite different from the normal principle of international judicial comity, under which courts of treaty parties will look at each others’ judgments with mutual respect. The obligation is not mutual, but is in one direction only, making the UK courts explicitly subservient to the ECJ. There is no suggestion that EU courts should pay “due regard”, or any regard at all, to UK courts, immediately unbalancing the relationship and placing UK courts in an inferior position.”

    Starmer will be pleased – I wonder if he is currently looking at Luxembourg properties.

      Interpretation of ‘ due regard’ would make lawyers even wealthier – but let’s hope the white paper is shredded by the ReichEU and the majority get what we voted for ..

    • deegee says:

      You have to wonder what due regard actually means. Precedent in the English system has always meant English judgements are followed first, then other British and Commonwealth judgements, followed by judgements from other Common Law countries such as the United States and only then by judgements from other systems e.g. France, Arabia or China. A non Common Law judgement would only have limited persuasive effect and certainly wouldn’t be binding on an English judge.

      Has that been reversed and now Civil Law has to be followed?

    I have followed BBC news on Twitter and it is such dross: Rooney scored a goal; someone got a tattoo; Love Island gossip.

    With all the terror last year, gang violence et cetera one might expect our national broadcaster to be have all hands on deck – exhibit ultra vigilance to try and save lives and rescue our nation.

    I imagine their producers giving inverted Churchillian speeches.

    “We shall surrender on the streets! We shall surrender in the skies! In our news, culture and education we shall utterly surrender! We shall never fight except against those who notice the elephants in the room!”

    Who watches the watchmen? When the national broadcaster whom we are supposed to trust for information has betrayed us so absolutely we enter 1984 territory.

        AND-Jane Garvey led with “Love island” on her Womans Hour this morning.
        Apparently, we`re all talking of nothing else-and those of us who pretend not to just love it, are still desperately happy to have our daughters and grandkids gossiping on about it, over the washing line or at the water cooler.
        Dream on Garvey and the Beeb-nobody is bothering with you, even with the turn in the weather.
        If the BBC say it`s a trend-it will long have left the port and sailed away.
        After Cliff and Lineker-you`d have to be a pretty low kind of dotard to bother listening or watching them.
        They are desperate to have us click or converse about their agendas. All contrived, meaning nothing in real life.
        I`m focused only on leaving next year-we can settle with the treacherous class after that.
        Why would anybody shack up with Adrian Childs? Maybe WH will do something on plain scousers settling for a spud faced faceache.

    Problem for the BBC: being hilariously out diversified by the ”far right”
    The UK’s new Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, whoever he is , is on an official visit to China, he has a Chinese wife…
    Just like Donald Trump’s visit and his 5 year old Granddaughter Arabella Singing in Chinese.
    So how are the miserable BBC going to spin it?

    Jeremy Hunt gaffe: ‘My wife is Japanese’

    ”The UK’s new Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt is on an official visit to China – but an embarrassing gaffe is stealing the headlines instead.

    Mr Hunt tried to get into his host’s good books by mentioning that his wife is Chinese – but called her “Japanese” instead.

    He quickly corrected himself and those at the meeting laughed it off.
    But the gaffe is making headlines and, as Mr Hunt himself says, it’s a “terrible mistake to make”.
    Lucia Guo was born in Xian in central China. She and Mr Hunt met in 2008, when she was working at Warwick University. They have three children.”

    Making headlines where?
    At the bbc and the guardian?

      As per usual, the BBC isn’t concerned at all that he’s visiting the most populous dictatorship in history with a dictator for life, and a ruling communist party responsible for the death of literally millions of it’s people. But at least the Chinese government doesn’t tweet – which is the main thing.

      The kindergarten creches that pass for editorial offices throughout the MSM are trying to gaffe this to the max. Where comments are allowed in response, they are almost universally panned, bar some die-hard union nurses with an obsessive fixation akin to that of Jon, Paul, George, Ringo, Anthony and Katty for POTUS.

      It was a minor slip, laughed off by all around the table. As anyone outside the media bubble is doing at them.

      This one really is pathetic isn’t it?

      It’s like the Beeb have to output a certain amouny of content because is really scraping the barrel.

      Okay people might not like the guy but he made a verbal error which he immediately corrected. He’s also taking about his own wife so clearly meant no offense. Yet in the absolute desperation to find offense, they have to put together a multi point article citing all the ways that it has, and if it hasn’t could, generate an international incident.

      What a bunch of unlikeable, miserable finger wagging ‘told you so’s’.

      If it’s not politcal sermons from Kuennsberg on how you should actually digest the article you just watched or blatant fake news, it’s this kind of crap.

      Not exactly ‘News’ is it? It’s been on the front page all day (why? Is there nothing else happening in the world today?). But because he’s in the cabinet, the Beeb will run and run with it. Anything to try and force a resignation, and hence try and bring down the government. I’m paying for this cr*p, whether I like it or not. Any more news on the Cliff Richard fine? Nope, I’m paying for that as well! Back to the former, what exactly is the definition of fake news? Surely this qualifies? Something nobody (anybody?) is interested in?? I’m sure the ‘BBC Reality Team’ are beavering away in the background trying to pull together some ‘facts’ to amaze us with. China is close to Japan or something equally mind blowing. Jeez. Back to love island I suppose. Maybe if they sent some thespians there it would be called ‘luvvies island?

    I urge all who can to listen to last weeks Delingpole podcast on Breitbart. He interviews Ezra Levante the Canadian founder of Rebel Media and friend of Tommy Robinson. Mr L goes into great detail about how TR has been targetted by the deep state and the tactics that they employed to persecute and jail Tommy. He raises all the questions that we have shared on this site about why was Tommy convicted in a drum head trial and why was he moved fromthe comparative safety of Hull prison to Onley which is full of Islamic fanatics where he has to held in solitary for his own safety. He cites numerous other instances where he demonstrates that Britain is a police state where no dissent from the approved ‘lets all bow down before Islam’ policy is permitted.
    It is a chilling interview and confirms all that we feared was happening andhow far down the road of Islamification we are.

        Ezra points out they only ask about Tommy ..who gives legal unbanned views
        They don’t in the vid (fullversion from RedPill) make any questions about real terrorism, except for a brief mention of National Action

Does that mean these cruel bastards are leaving their decision until a minute before midnight tomorrow.

              I’m guessing the decision by the LCJ will not be published “for legal reasons “ and the punishment of TR will not be made public. I wonder is the Lord Chief Justice will be as quick in delivering his ruling as the C… who banged up TR in the first place .
              Judges protect their own so they’ll close ranks .

              I really hope it gets the foreign media coverage it deserves because the domestic msm serves a different master as we know ,….

              More generally _ the use of “ for legal reasons. “ is becoming commonplace . The guardian reports some Bangladeshi third world couple being sent to prison today for doing something horrible to their daughter , even after conviction the judge refuses to disclose identities -guessit must Mohammed Islam or similar .

He also appeared on Laurie Tailors “Thinking Allowed”.

      Professor Stephan Lewandowsky, Chair in Cognitive Psychology at the University of Bristol, believes that Climate scientists who disagree with him on Climate science, should be classified with a “mental disorder”

    On your marks, get set, go!

    This so-called ‘Novichok’ thing took an interesting turn last week. Early on in July we were told that the chemical that had hospitalised Sturgess and Rowley was in a perfume bottle. Then we were told that the police were searching for a container. Not necessarily a perfume bottle. A vial, a jar, a syringe, perhaps. While the couple were in hospital, Rowley’s flat was sealed and searched by police. It took them days, ie more than one, to find the container. Find it, they did. They did not tell us what the container was. It was tested by Porton Down chemists who quickly said it was the same substance that had poisoned the Skripals. The implication was exactly the same substance as in the Salisbury poisoning.

    Charlie Rowley recovered and left hospital. He had some interesting news to pass on. He found a discarded perfume bottle and it was boxed. He took it home ‘as a present for Dawn’. He had it at home for two days before giving it to her. He got some on his hands while assembling the spray component onto the bottle. He inhaled it. He found the residue oily and immediately washed it off under a tap. He gave it to Sturgess. She recognised the brand. She tried it spraying it on her hands and arms and rubbing them together. Probably, no doubt, also inhaling to test the scent. It is what women do.

    Dawn Sturgess almost immediately started to feel a headache coming on and then felt increasingly unwell. She went to lie down in the bath and Rowley found her there, fully clothed. We were not told if the bath was full of water. Neither the BBC’s or the Independent’s journalists inform us of that. Did they ask? Rowley called an abulance and the rest is well known. Dawn Sturgess, sadly, died from her exposure to ‘the chemical’.

    Some interesting little ‘conflicts’ there. The first is the perfume bottle > not a perfume bottle > perfume bottle in a box scenario.

    Second is the assumption that Rowley did not die because he immediately washed off ‘the chemical’. But did Dawn Sturgess, effectively, do so as well by getting into the bath full of water. He inhaled the chemical. She may not have done but is likely, I think, to have done so. There is an interesting comparison between the effects of what the authorities claim is a deadly nerve agent, in concentrated form, on two different people who handled it in pretty much the same way.

    Third is the search for something so obvious in a flat (which I assume was not a large one) which suggests it was well hidden. Why would Rowley hide the bottle, concealing it so thoroughly that it apparently took skilled investigators more than a day to find, before going to the hospital to see Sturgess and being hospitalised himself? Skilled and highly paid journalists from the BBC and the Independent did not think to ask. Their even more highly paid Editors did not think to ask them to go back and ask. Strange, that.

    Then there is the super quick diagnosis by the chemists at Porton Down. Biased BBCers with good memories will remember it took the Organisation for the Prevention of use of Chemical Weapons several days to decide the Skripal poisoning was caused by “a Soviet era chemical”.

    Interesting and interestinger.

    Especially when set against this bit of malarkey. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-45000472

      Also, the residents of the hostel where Dawn Sturgess lived were initially (according to a TV interview of a resident) forced out onto the streets. Later on, police were entering that building wearing bio-hazard suits! No mention, anywhere, that the residents (who could have been contaminated) were turfed out into the community. Who ordered them to get out? Were any medical checks done on those residents and the people they were, subsequently, in contact with?

        Spider, it would appear that Dawn Sturgess was living with Charlie Rowley at his flat.

        It appears that is where the perfume bottle was hidden, er, I mean left, after they were hospitalised.

      Also,a few weeks ago, on early LBC news report; probably during the Steve Allen show; it was reported that the chemical had been found not to be this Novichok stuff. That was the only time I heard that said. And, recently I heard or read a report that the glass container had shattered whereas the reports now sound as though it was found in tact.

      Apart from some poor woman dying from some kind of poisoning, I don’t believe anything else that has been reported on this incident.

      And where are the Skripals these days?

        j-i-c, can’t say I’ve heard anything like that on the Beeb on R4. What I did hear was that there was a re-check going on, on the perfume bottle & its contents. I did wonder if that initial Porton Down assessment was a bit too hasty in view of the complexities of testing for a so-called Novichok.

        In this age of FakeNews and FalseNews and FalseFacts, by everyone else, you would think the BBC would wish to be very scrupulous in their newscasting, wouldn’t you?

        As to the Skripals, I am a lot more interested right now in the activities of the OPCW who were recalled to Britain to test the contents of that bottle. Absolutely zero interest shown by the BBC, as far as I know.

        I wonder why?

    Following on the Supreme Court decision on allowing medical euthanasia – seeing that it was a unanimous verdict – it now allows care homes and hospitals to get rid of those they don’t want – with the consent of relatives – or even better for the care homes- no relatives at all.

    The court seems to think doctors are upstanding and honest . Well I, from personal experience , know this is not the case .
    Doctors are self employed and those attending care homes have a financial interesting in signing off on those no longer wanted .

    I created this earlier. I was annoyed because I got a request to sign my name to a referndum request for a second referendum, so I made one of my own. If anyone wants to sign and help me get it off the ground I would be grateful, although I suspect it won’t get enough signatures. The text of my referendum request is as follows:

    The British people voted for Brexit, and not for a second, or third, or fourth referendum. They also did not vote for a fudge. Unlike the remainers who were misled by the Remain campaign, 99.9% of those voting for Brexit knew what they were voting for. It was made clear by both sides of the campaign that a vote for Brexit was to leave the EU and all of its agencies.

    So it is no to a further referendum on this issue, and yes to a full Brexit: even if it means we do not get a deal with the EU who are making any agreement impossible to accept and still to claim with a straight face that this form of Remain is actually Brexit. If those negotiating from the EU refuse to behave like democrats, then we must accept that we have no deal and we will not pay the un-owed money they demand and we will continue to trade with them on WTO rules as we already do with most of the World.

    Only Brexit is Brexit.

    The bitch is back
    There is plenty to complain about in this misleading BBC report on the release of Ahed Tamimi from Israeli prison. Palestinian teenager Ahed Tamimi released from prison
    “She has been released from prison after serving an weight month sentence for slapping an Israeli soldier” Totally misleading The reality is she accepted a deal and plead guilty to four charges, including assault, incitement and two counts of obstructing soldiers. The eight months included four months already served. She could have faced years in prison for 12 charges including assaulting security forces, throwing stones and using Facebook “to incite others to commit terrorist attacks”.

    “She was kicking the soldiers outside her home, reportedly an hour after they shot her 15-year-old cousin in the head with a rubber bullet” A slap or a kick what does it matter (except to accuracy standards the BBC claims)? It is true the Tamimi clan has a reputation for violence including murder so her cousin being hurt is no surprise. Her aunt assisted in carrying out the infamous 2001 Sbarro pizza bombing in Jerusalem that took the lives of 15 Jews, half of them children eating lunch.

    Still the implication is that she was provoked by the shooting. Nothing could be further from the truth. She has been attempting to provoke Israeli soldiers and police to a violent response since 2012. Each incident (I count six) was photographed by her darling mother.

    “Since the incident, Ahed has become a heroine in the Palestinian territories”. Actually long before. She has been feted as a heroine in front of Palestine Authority President Abbas, South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa and Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

    “To resist is normal. Not to resist is abnormal” Bassem Tamii, Ahed’s father interviewed without challenge. The 4th Geneva Convention only has two categories of residents in occupied territories: Protected persons and combatants. The veteran teenage provocateur surely falls into the later category.

    “The residents organise weekly protests to oppose the neighbouring Israeli settlement built on Palestinian land”. Should the BBC be parroting Palestinian claims without a ‘says’ or ‘claims’ as they inevitably do with Israel? The Supreme Court of Israel rejected Palestinian claims of ownership of the Havlata Hill, which is now in the centre of Halamish. Based on aerial photos from the turn of the 20th century, showing the disputed land to be barren, and Ottoman Empire land law specifying that land not worked for over ten years becomes state land, the land on that hill was declared state land and freed for settlement constructions. This court ruling became the precedent for future land ownership disputes.

    Nida Ibrahim BBC reporter [she comes] “to a new reality being the new iconic face of Palestinian resistance”. Hardly new. Where has Ms Ibrahim been for the last few years if she thinks Tamimi’s notoriety is something recent? Palestinian resistance? Surely a loaded term, at best?

    Still this piece of Palestinian propaganda is exactly what we have learnt to expect from the BBC.

        The concept that an independent state can decide matters for itself is alien to her. The doors of the EU prison are about to open, but remainers cower in a corner too fearful to escape.

        Holland sends 15% of its meat exports and 15% of its fruit and vegetables to UK. Rather than send tonnes of its produce to rot at the border unpaid for, presumeably Dutch producers would be looking for new buyers long before “Brexit doomsday”. Could they switch a sixth of their production on a single day? Surely we would be noticing shortages in Dutch produce now as they divert to other markets.

        The WTO bogeyman is always raised. As the WTO want to liberalise trade and the tariffs it stipulates are maxima beyond which countries cannot go without negotiations, it is hard to see what the problem will be..Does the “transition period” apply or not?

        What is worrying is the dependence on Europe for so many products – food, insulin for a start.

    In that video you can see a perfect example of what is happening not just in Australia but across Europe as well as our own society is forced to submit to Islamic ideology and it is becoming increasingly clear that Islam intends to Islamise the world. It is just unfortunate that the liberal Establishment just refuses to acknowledge this fact and actually goes out of its way to defend the very ideology that will be its death. What happened to Lauren Southern in Australia was a rerun of what happened in Luton, home to so many radical Muslims, where she was threatened with arrest for breach of the peace..because…her presence alone would upset Muslims who would then get violent…so she would be arrested not the violent Muslims.

    All this flies in the face of a harsh truth….people are sick and tired of their own society, culture and identity being trashed and being forced to submit into being proxy Muslims in effect, forced to respect a so-called religion and keep quiet about its violent, racist and supremacist core….as evidenced by Brendan O’Neil who launches a savage critique upon the Left who have joined forces with the Islamists….the result of which is a silence about the death threats towards Sarah Champion…a silence the BBC adds to of course….

    ‘There is now an incredibly chilling climate around issues to do with Islam, multiculturalism and social tensions. To such an extent that an MP can be cast out and find herself subjected to hatred and threats merely for raising perfectly legitimate questions about violence by one group against another. In turning their backs on Champion, the Labour left is making clear what its priorities are: defending Islam from public criticism and preserving the ideology of multiculturalism, which apparently take precedence over being concerned for working-class girls at risk of rape or for an MP being threatened with death. Next time these leftists claim to be concerned for women’s safety, be very, very sceptical.’

    An article in ‘Comment Central’ defines the problem that besets us as the Establishment fails to understand, or refuses to accept, what drove votes for Trump and Brexit….you can see their reaction reflected in the BBC’s almost total framing of the Brexit debate in terms of the economy…around which of course the Remain camp’s Project Fear was based when in fact voters were voting for sovereignty and control over not just laws but the shape and look of their country….what values it would have…and one set of values it didn’t want were ‘Islamic’.

    ‘The only logical route to investigate is what motivated Leave voters in the UK, when the complacent political class met the brick wall of voters’ opinions in June 2016. In polling done by Lord Ashcroft a few days after the Brexit vote, we got a clearer picture.

    National identity was a key driver…Leave voters strongly felt that multiculturalism, social liberalism and immigration were all forces for ill.
    In short, the leave vote was a triumph of social conservatism.

    Voters felt overall that a commitment to preserving British culture and values was at odds with continued involvement in the European project, as favoured by the social liberals within all of Britain’s main parties.’

    As I mentioned before there is a great delusion amongst the liberal intelligentsia and Establishment as evidenced by comments like the one below proposing that the answer to immigrants failing to integrate was more immigrants [not unlike those who suggest the answer to Islamist terror is to allow Muslims to follow their religion even more closely and outside a society’s own laws in a parallel society..thus in fact doing exactly what the intended purpose of the terrorism was…to further Islamic supremacy and influence]….

    ‘In view of Europe’s low natural population growth rate, refugee family reunification could be a great benefit by adding to the birth rate in the EU. ‘

    This is of course bonkers..just look to Paris where it is turning into Baghdad….areas of Paris already ‘lost to France’….

    ‘There are an estimated 135 different nationalities in Saint-Denis, most extremely poor, including an estimated 600,000 Muslims from North African or sub-Saharan African backgrounds.

    ‘The challenge,’ says Paris senator Philippe Dallier, is ‘to prevent Saint-Denis becoming a huge ethnic ghetto of two million inhabitants within 20 years.’

    Bon chance, monsieur — as they don’t say in this teeming quarter, where speaking Arabic is more useful than French.

    Having spent several days in Saint-Denis, it’s clear to me that the area is already lost to France — to the rule of French law, equality, religious freedom, and even access to the streets by the police themselves.’

    Read philosopher John Gray in the New Statesman and you can see the problem…the problem is that people like him just refuse to admit the problem…to him Islam is not a danger at all for Europe, the real danger for the world is…..Trump…..

    ‘Douglas Murray also thinks Europe is destroying itself. In the first sentence of his best-selling The Strange Death of Europe, he declares: “Europe is committing suicide.” But whereas for Zweig it was nationalism that destroyed Europe, for Murray it is Europe’s loss of belief in itself. Murray criticises liberals for denying or diminishing the problems that come with sudden large increases in immigration, when the migrants come from other cultures. But the real problem, he is convinced, is an influx of Muslims.
    Discussing the public response to the migrant crisis, he writes: “What very few people saw or mentioned was that the racial background of the incomers was an insignificant matter alongside the far greater issue of creed.” The most important fact about the crisis, Murray asserts repeatedly, is that it involves the encounter of Islam with a hollowed-out, guilt-ridden, faithless Europe. The consequence will be the Islamisation of the continent and the end of European civilisation.
    Where does Islam figure in all of this? An Islamised Europe – the denouement of Murray’s story – is fantasy.

    Portraying Islam as essentially hostile to what used to be called the liberal West passes over such differences and risks becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy.
    In some European countries semi-closed communities of Islamic immigrants have emerged in which anti-Semitism and homophobia are more prevalent than in the general population. But a revulsion from liberal values is gathering pace in European societies themselves.
    The largest threat to liberal values comes from the ongoing break-up of the international order, which Murray does not discuss. Donald Trump hardly appears in his story.’

    Completely delusional….you don’t have to look too hard to find the truth and the intent….

    Even the Guardian, in a moment of weakness, once admitted there might be a problem with Islamic immigration…

    ‘Christopher Caldwell’s contention that immigration has not only changed Europe but revolutionised it has a topical plausibility. Immigration, he says, and above all Muslim immigration, has planted in the heart of a weak and confused civilisation communities, rapidly growing in number, that have already changed Europe to suit their needs and beliefs. And the chances are, he insists, that in the future we will bend to their will rather than that they will bend to ours.
    Rightwing rubbish? Caldwell cannot be so easily dismissed.
    Where he is right is in underlining the fact that immigration was encouraged by elites who took a ludicrously short-sighted view of its costs and consequences…..This inherently unstable and dysfunctional system was set in motion, in other words, for no good reason. Those who started it off did not foresee how big it would become, nor the mechanisms of family reunion and arranged marriages that would drive it on even when restrictions were belatedly imposed. Most of them did not imagine, says Caldwell, that the newcomers would “retain the habits and cultures of southern villages, clans, marketplaces, and mosques”.

    Either that, or they welcomed such retention. It was right and proper that the people Europe had lorded over should now come to the metropolitan countries: they would change us for the better. Not only were all cultures equal, but their cultures were more equal than ours.
    He is right to argue that immigration on the scale that Europe has experienced constitutes a risky experiment to which we need not have submitted ourselves, and of which the final result is not yet clear. He is right that we frequently talk about it in stupid and dishonest ways.’

      Bear in mind that it isn’t just Labour that loves Islam, our so-called conservative PM regards Lauren Southern as being more extreme than those ‘British’ lads welcomed back from beheading in Syria. Even the ‘far right’ Nigel Farage bends his knee to the brown-eyed boys.

      Something very strange is going on when mainstream politicians worry about offending the ‘2%’ yet for decades have ignored the much, much larger percentages that oppose mass immigration or the EU. It’s almost as if they are working to a hidden common purpose.

        For globalism to work, it requires a dumbed-down population that will accept lower standards of living and never be able to challenge the system. Islam fits the bill perfectly; as Churchill wrote: “Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world.” Europe is a particular problem for the globalists: Africa and the Middle East are going nowhere quickly; China is happy to be a reasonably self-contained totalitarian society that churns out the goods to the enterprises owned by the globalists; India is beset by poverty and regional concerns that will occupy it for the rest of the century. From an American perspective, it wants Europe as a solid market for its goods but not be a strong commercial competitor. Even if a fractured, Islamised Europe results in tens of thousands of deaths a year, the elite still think it desirable in the context of a continent that experienced tens of millions of deaths in two world wars. Plus, they are themselves isolated from the resultant social problems, much as the barons and earls were in their castles a thousand years ago.

Hopefully, eventually the narcissistic ego bloated over paid, nasty, evil two faced double standard double dipping shit heads at the BBC will be forced to live in an enriched multicultural community even having to send their kids to a school where their kids are the odd ones out.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-politics-45013420/brexit-and-your-holiday-five-things-that-could-change

    For those of you who don’t want to listen to the smug, smarmy BBC presenter, reporting from a swimming pool in Benidorm, I’ve summarised what he says below:-

    1) Planes will not be allowed to fly to Europe
    2) You’ll need a visa and it’s going to cost you more money
    3) You’ll have no emergency health care so you could die whilst on holiday and no-one will care
    4) Roaming charges will be re-introduced and so you won’t be able to use your mobile phone.
    5) “Benidorm has felt the Brexit effect since the vote in 2016 and now you get less Euros to the Pound”

    Desperate, pathetic and fake news.

        The BBC is an utter disgrace again today – further censorship by omission.
        Even ITV’s Good Morning Britain show carried the Manchester Arena murderer ‘betrayal’ story prominently on its new bulletin. It is splashed all over the Daily Mail front page.
        So what do we get on BBC TV? Not a squeak.
        Come the paper review, the Mail is not even mentioned. Come the news round-up, and again the story is not mentioned.
        Check the website – there is a single reference in the newspaper front pages round-up, but no separate news coverage at all!
        Put a search in under the bomber’s name and the most recent item that pops up is about Muslims in Manchester fearing persecution as a result of the Prevent strategy.
        A minister or someone in the public slips up and says something ‘inappropiate’ and they’re all over it like a rash, but on this they can’t be bothered.
        Yes, it was an act of betrayal by Salman Abedi to murder in the country that rescued him…..but I’d argue that there is a whiff of betrayal by the BBC!

          The beebistan can’t bring themselves to report this hugely significant story. The nearest they get is the rather slippery technique of posting the Mail revelations under their Papers section, thereby ‘keeping their hands clean’ as they no-doubt see it. “Wasn’t us guv, we didn’t say it.”

          And no doubt they will disappear the story altogether asap, unless it gains traction in the msm, in which case they may be shamed into covering it properly.
          But that’s assuming the beeb know shame.

        But I’m sure the parents and relatives of the 22 who were killed will be grateful that their Govt isn’t being portrayed as xenophobes by the state broadcaster. I’m sure that keeps them warm when they are passing the bedroom door behind which their child no longer lives.
