The hysterical reaction of certain commentators to today’s UK-EU agreement is something to behold.
The “surrender” of using e-gates when you go on holiday. The contempt for the “will of the people” of making education abroad more accessible. Rigorous debate is good. This nonsense is a waste of time.

Wonder which government allowed that metric to deteroriate so badly.
Presumably a paper with that front page wouldn't have endorsed them for another term.

Maybe the BBC could stop helping him out and tell another story.One about a grifting prejudiced conman who’s wrecked our country with his ‘Breaking Point’ Brexit but has never been held to account for the lies he’s told, the damage he’s done.

I think if you’ve been accused of sexual misconduct at work and your response is ‘It’s only been a dozen or so victims’, then you don’t have much of a defence.

Clarkson raging at the ‘Typical BBC’, at whose tit he fed for a couple of decades being paid handsomely for implying small cars were gay (or whatever), before being sacked for punching somebody because his dinner was cold.
He can shut his infected ballsack of a face & piss off while he’s at it.
