@GrayManOZ And while at it, selling national assets and services to foreign companies and even countries at cut-price rates, while calling it "inward [sic] investment".

@ArishMell Don't get me started grrrr. The globalists and Trans-nationalists have screwed our National Strategic security.

@EugenieLaBorgia The CCCCC!!

@Abstraction I don't know if you are aware of it , but as well as refusing to be interviewed by the BBC's pre-eminent political journalist Andrew Neill before the election , Johnson has also banned government ministers from going on the Today programme on Radio 4 (flagship daily political programme) and is even threatening to remove the BBC's funding by abolishing the licence fee.

What he appears to be doing is taking a leaf straight out of the Trump playbook and refusing to be held to account or subject himself to scrutiny by anyone who he considers to be less than friendly. Chilling.

@JovialPlutonian In Finland (scandinavians stuck in snow seem to have nothing better to do than think about sensible policies) a few years ago created a campaign to help think critically about the media they receive, particularly in social media. Interesting that they have ended up with the opposite of the populist demagogues that have emerged, coincidentally since Russia and vested interests started manipulating social media.
And Rupert Murdoch - I'll be singing ding dong the witch is dead when he's gone - done more damage to democracy in my lifetime than anyone I know. Certainly in Australia.

@RodionRomanovitch yes and ppl have a problem with Corbyn. He's the only one defending us and we just condemn him for it.

@ArishMell Everyone referred to it as "The Common Market" not just EH.

@iagreed They did, because "everyone" (including me at the time)thought that was its proper title and purpose. Yes, it was and is a common market (small initials) but was it was never officially that by name.

Heath is also suspected of having been given a handsome cash "award" of tax-payers' money for signing the accession; and ordering the BBC to be pro-EEC biased. I have seen these only in a book I have on the subject, but they are serious accusations that to my knowledge still await proper investigation.

The EEC (possibly EU by then) itself started to make me question its aims and methods, by its vicious reaction to my enquiring after a post as a driver (hardly inspiring work, but on a salary above that of many contemporary business managers). It had been unofficially advertised by an MEP in his weekly column in a newspaper.

@Quoththeraven on a system built on status over substance it really isn't much of a surprise that they voted as they did.

Have you ever seen so much division?@Quizzical

@JovialPlutonian Well... We did have a couple of civil wars a few hundred years ago 🤔

@Quizzical blimmey

That's what happens when you put a bunch of cowboys in charge lol@SW-User
