That might be a part of it.
The BBC has been so watered down and laden with “Fair and Balanced” that they can not really report stories on their own merits any more, though they do try. I’ll give them that, the actual news is minimally biased either way.
Since they have been funded for four more years, they can thumb their nose at the UK. A bit like the EU does once it gets our contribution every year.
Watch them change their tune during the next license fee renewal!
Did something I almost never do and turned on the idiot box yesterday, looking for the story in the second link. Well, I watched BBC News 24 for an hour and not a sign of the story. Tried the evening news - it got 30 seconds. Sarkozy got more face time.
Going to be fair(ish) to Cameron. He has slapped down hard on any additional taxes and levies from Brussels to support the Euro.
They made the mess. We stayed out of it, and were warned that we would be left behind by the federal Europe.
Now they are attempting to force a bailout of their failed policies by the UK. Not a loan, or a gesture, but actually force a levy on bank transactions throughout Europe.
I am sure that the minor fact that 95% of all financial dealings in Europe go through the City of London, and the levy would destroy our limping economy totally is a pure accident and not worthy of mention.
The perception here amongst the (few) remaining conservatives is that Germany is trying it again. Laws and regulations instead of guns this time, but attempting to run Europe.
That chills me. A few days ago I received a small but heavy parcel from my Dad. A 1 lb tobacco tin containing my Grandad’s medals from WW1. It got me thinking.
Sorry, that was a bit of a rant, wasn’t it! Please take it in the spirit intended. Information to the thread and yourself, and a lot of frustration.
