Why did a ‘comedy’ programme bring on a left wing polemicist from lefty Der Spiegel to talk about Brexit?  What did we hear?  ‘What the hell are you thinking!?’  Apparently it is all too mad to contemplate Brexit….oh and any anti-EU opinion in Germany is the government’s fault not the EU’s. … Continue reading →

  Astonishing how the BBC can skirt around a subject and not mention it even as they talk about it….when they want to. Anyone think the Budget was all about not upsetting the punters before the referendum and keeping them onside with the pro-EU government?  Lots of people have that opinion….maybe even the BBC, but it’s not letting on.
