Through the looking glass

70 MPs have used the Telegraph to complain about the BBC's biased and pessimistic coverage of Brexit and not reporting the economic "good news".
They didn't complain about the lack of coverage of NHS crisis or election fraud, strangely.

"the MPs put the corporation on notice that its future will be in doubt if politicians and the public no longer see it as an "impartial broker" that they can trust."
Translated as: "if they don't support Brexit."
How far have we fallen?

I think the worst of it is the closing down of dissent or contrary opinion. That is not how a democracy should work.
Even accepting the result is what it is, why on earth should anyone be forced to accept the economic narrative that the referendum has been good for economy? We haven't left yet or even started negotiations. Everyone is spending on "jam today" but it doesn't mean we won't all be worse off after the event.

Scary isn't it? Can't imagine why 3 Labour MPS signed up to this either.

I think the Torygraph mentioned the beheading of Scotlands First Minister.

What's the matter with you? Beheading? It's just banter innit?

Well obviously to a Viking it's no more than a bit of a scratch.
