Everyone with a functioning brain could do better over a three year time horizon.

Thank you Anand and thank you for responding.
The situation does look very confusing indeed! 🙃

@anandmenon.bsky.social did say in the other place he was going to get someone who knew what they were talking about to write an article going through all of the statutory instruments and compare them to the UK’s stated aim of SPS alignment with the EU.

You are reminded that the UK wanted this, Labour voters voted for it at the last general election and 🇬🇧 small businesses are still being screwed.

I didn’t know about this and it is actually dreadful.

I don't honestly see how even an SPS agreement is possible because there are a load of SI's that have gone through the UK parliament to lower standards on things I thought would be important to an SPS agreement. 🤷‍♂️

The trouble is though David, we don't need to have been involved or even know of the discussions because we can see the results....

The result of your discussions is.....nothing

You have delivered nothing.

They are always very brash about everything but their policy hasn't changed since 2014

I personally find this very annoying
I quite liked Emily Maitlis.
Fecks sake. 🙄🤬

I'm not sure the UK is up to the task.
I hope it is, but....🤷‍♂️

I am muting this thread now and blocking you.

In 1945 the British made sure Germanys public broadcasting system would never be taken over by an authoritarian leader.

You are a Communist so don't understand why that act was important.

The Polish understand.
That is why Solidarnosc is outside the European parliament.

Not forgetting the Conservatives being infiltrated and now just dead.

I bet you don't mention the battering you gave the BBC over the Iraq war.

You are the point where things started to do wrong.

Now we have everyone from the the hard right to Putin and Trump having a go at the battered and not functioning very well BBC.

I think this is called siloed

You are siloed to only thinking about trans rights

I am looking at a UK in a dangerous position where it could lose a vital (if very battered) pillar of democracy and fall to full fascism quite easily.

It would be very difficult to pull England out of full fascism.

I am the only one here defending a state media that has not been given freely to the fascists

If there is no half functioning state media then nobody knows if you have been disappeared.
