Like why would the bbc need to ‘balance’ its cover of the US in this way?
When the BBC covers, say, Xi critically should it also run a programme dedicated to the CCP’s achievements?

What a horrific graphic. So revealing. If we leave ECHR too, we’ll be even more out in the cold. It still makes my blood boil.

Use your words as a weapon. A well turned phrase is more deadly than the sharpest sword!

Unutterably depressing that the UK remains saddled with the albatross of Brexit. More evidence that Brexit was not an event, which one side or the other *won* , but a continuing, slow rolling, never ending disaster, and a gift to our geographical enemies.

Without a proper acknowledgment in UK of the utter shitshow of Brexit, and with Farage lurking, it’s hard for EU to move on from Brexit itself let alone trust UK and help it back. So, the burden remains on UK. But, stories like this, true or not, only help Faragists, which is in no one’s interests.

We all need to try to move beyond Brexit, not let it forever damage Uk-EU cooperation. Brexit was dumb, harmful. UK got “what the people wanted” and got it good and hard. Does this have to be the way forever? I wish Starmer’s govt had the courage to openly admit it was a mistake.

Depressing to see all the finger pointing and snarky comments here, some gleefully relishing UK pain. I completely agree UK is in a mess entirely of its own making. It doesn’t deserve special treatment. But, is it in EU’s interests to kick it down further, just because it can?
