You must have been, as you claim to have watched it since it started, with that nice Frank Bough and Selena Scott, not to mention that other hard hitting journalist, Russell Grant. I take my hat off to you for persevering with it, despite the lack of news content that irks you so much.

I think Winny only really watched it for Diana Moran the Green Goddess and her leotards. He has spent the last thirty years wondering where she has got to.

See, they had a green agenda even then!

Dead Ringers script editor admits bias...

http://www.chortle.co.uk/news/2018/06/16/40247/the...

Writers' room contains "more than its fair share of typically London-centred, broadly left-wing people" who were predominantly Remain voters.

Straight from the horse's mouth!

If 9 of the top 10 satirical script writers are/were broadly left wing what are the beeb supposed to do? Put adverts in the papers looking for rabid right wing writers?

Every room of people will contain a majority of people who believe in one thing or another. If you don’t like it write in for a job.

More anti-brexit propaganda from the British Brainwashing Corporation......

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-44511829#comme...

Could cost up to £1k per household?

Well if that's based on income/spending, then that would be the extreme high earners that take the £1000 hit, surely? And how much do they earn? 10x, 100x, 1000x the national average?

So I want to know what it'll cost the average income family, making £25k per adult...... The people they're trying to brainwash into supporting a 2nd referendum.

The report says that’s a worst case scenario.

The report says that other people see it as alarmist.

The report says that the Guvmint is aiming for frictionless trade.

The report includes the views of the “Economists for Brexit” Group.

Damn the biased Beeb for only reporting one side of the story......

But look at the headline........ That's all many people look at, and the BBC knows it.

The headline that says 'could' and 'report argues'. Damn BBC adding sensible caveats to its headlines.

But could have said "likely not to" "the report points out"

Wonder why it never does.

Because nobody else has headlines like that since very few people would bother to look at stuff as wishy-washy as that.

Gammonflakeism of the highest order.

So BBC is responsible for simpletons getting enraged by looking at the headline without reading the full article?

I'll take the wild stab in the dark; you did vote leave, right?

I'll take this wild stab in the dark, you have very little going on in your life, right?.

Because saying “likely not to” would be as accurate as saying “likely to”.

"broadly left wing"

"rabid right wing"

Gadgetmc must work for the BBC. You can tell by how unbiased he is on the subject.
