Registered 15 years agoI mean, yeah, your sympathy does have limits and at some point the question of personal responsibility has to be asked but to just point and gloat isnt really helpful either.
A lot of people in this country have been left behind during our transition to a 'knowledge' based, London-centric service economy and, really, what did they have to lose by voting for brexit? If it turned out to be a shit-show, what would change for someone living in Middlesbrough? -

A large portion of them will be embarrassed and cling on to hope / pretend this is what they wanted. A significant portion of people who didn't vote for it will be lolling in their faces "get over it, you won!"

Fun times ahead.

Already largely accomplished I think. BBC News has been pretty much neutered after 40 years of somewhat co-ordinated assault from the Tories, Murdoch rags and the rest, the drip drip drip has worked.

This is why the blonde haired twat ball is sprouting all this levelling up Britain shit. It's the right message handled by an incompetent twat that will do the opposite and break up the country in the process.

I think at this point it would help if Scotland became independent might sobre up some of the less wonky people in this country.

the other half are doing mental backflips saying "they were right still"
also a company that keeps advertising for designers and artworkers but pay them minimum wage and get treated like shit. They are loving the idea that tory cunt put out there about removing workers rights for temp staff. I can more companies doing this if that tory filth removes more workers rights (that were protected by EU rules) -

The standard Tory playbook is already at work, it started years ago.
Underfund it and underfund it some more. - e.g Osborn raiding the license fee as a slush fund to finance BT doing the broadband roll out and to tide Channel 4 over when it hit cash problems. Then shackle the BBC with the cost of the Free TV license and top it off with miniscule license fee increases. Oh, and we're going to publish the wages of all of your staff so that the other channels can cherry pick them.
Second, get the public to hate it - Well some of you lot have certainly bought into that, constantly moaning that the BBC news site isn't carrying the specific news story that you want to see there or that the wording of something is wrong, then joining the Twitter pile-on whilst not holding other organisations to the same standards. Tory's attacking it for being too-left wing, Labour supporters accusing it of being in the Govt's pocket. Scottish Nats constantly accusing it of being "The English Broadcasting Company". The Tory financial attacks are hitting the BBC newsroom hard, it can't do everything that it used to.
Third - offer privatisation as a way of "fixing it"
May I humbly suggest that those of you who constantly slag it off, take a step back, look at how the Tories are dragging it to its knees and instead vent your anger at the political party that is destroying the ONLY global media brand that the UK has.
Protect it like the NHS, because when you've lost the BBC you'll never get it back and you'll never get anything better.

Registered 16 years agoYou know the tories will kill off the NHS once covid is "over" for years they have stabbed in the back. You have cunts like farage that want to sell it off to America drug companies and tories want it as well but less vocal about it due to covid.
The hate the BBC gets by tory supporters is just propaganda and idiots repeat it -

Registered 15 years agoThings are looking pretty good... uhh... for Europe?
The company, which did not want to be named, said it had about 50 trucks delivering cargo every week from the EU to the UK, but they were returning empty as importers in key industries such as the motor sector were willing to cough up to ensure smooth passage.
“Companies are willing to pay the price for the trucks to go back empty because it’s cheaper than being stuck in a lorry park for four or five days,” said the source.
“If they have a delivery coming from Belgium or Germany they would prefer the truck to go back and get a second or third delivery,” they added.
“The UK is already the laughing stock of Europe with Brexit, but I have to say, and I don’t enjoy saying this, we are making a lot of money out of it,” said the source. -

It's the shellfish guys that didn't vote for it who are suffering more. The trawler guys can fuck off to an EU port with their catch.

The town's were already a dump with very little employment opportunities outside of the fishing which is miniscule anyways. The anger should be at trade body's and unions convincing them that Brexit would bring them opportunities which aren't going to happen over night.

Registered 7 years agoI like how Brexit was touted as something that was supposed to open up trade as we she'd the shackles of the EU and we could make our own deals the world over and now we have IDS leading the charge to do less trade.
I mean, he's not wrong that China doesn't have a wonderful track record on human rights, but the irony of this is pretty funny. -
