Brexit has proven to be MORE DISASTROUS than most predicted. Can't believe that anyone takes the sour, raddled, hack Burchill seriously anymore. Seems the right-wing press has an obsession with former commies and IRA sympathisers who convert to ultra right views the moment they lose any political credibility. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"right-winged", you really aren't a scholar of the English language are you? And perhaps you can take some time today to email The Times, The Telegraph, The Daily Express, The Daily Mail, The Sun to let them know that they are left-wing papers (I'm sure they will be interested to hear that). 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A Load of Squit 1,522 Posted February 24 https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/feb/24/brexit-trade-delays-getting-worse-uk-border-survey-finds Dr John Glen, a CIPS economist and visiting fellow at the Cranfield School of Management, said: “We are well into the second month of the new arrangements and the hope that delays at the border would reduce as freight volumes returned to normal and customs systems became used to the new processes has not come to pass.” He added: “The knock-on impact of these delays will trickle far down the supply chain and ultimately result in stock shortages and inflated prices for consumers.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigFish 939 Posted February 25 13 hours ago, How I Wrote Elastic Man said: Julie Burchill "the writing equivalent of screaming and throwing things" https://brightonsource.co.uk/features/best-books-by-brighton-authors/ Burchill's career arc, and that of her former fellow traveller Toby Young and ex-hisbandTony Parsons, illustrates a wider truth behind the post-truth view that the media is left wing. Her contrarian ironic columns in the Guardian and the Modern Review provided an interesting counterpoint to prevailing views. However, this kind of writing is now easily churned out by any right wing hack in the Torygraph, Mail, Sun or Express. It is just boring. More relevant it reflects the majority view/hacks career path making the idea that the MSM is leftwing totally ridiculous. Finally, it is of course based on falsehoods. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigFish 939 Posted February 25 3 hours ago, SwindonCanary said: left winged press = the INDEPENDENT and the GUARDIAN Both have decided to back the EU in the latest scallop wars There are no "scallop wars". The Uk negotiated at great length an agreement for trade and cooperation with the EU. The UK wanted to be free of EU regulation, and this agreement ensures that. It was ratified in Parliament. The agreement left the UK free to diverge from EU standards and implemented border controls, taking back control. All the EU is doing is implementing the agreement. The UK cannot do the same because the country is a shambles. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
