    BBC is so biased that they ignore large stories if they don't fit in with their own narrative. I don't think this money would have made any difference to their reporting and their angle on the EU, but to some extent it's likely a reward for it (it's not like if they'd been Pro-Brexit the whole time, EU would be giving them so much cash).

    I'm more annoyed that the EU are giving BBC money in the first place, out of all the potential good causes they could give money to. BBC are just a stealth tax in this country now, we all pay our TV license money to them and they use the money to give each other bigger bonuses and build bigger, fancier headquarters.

    The license we pay costs more than Amazon and Netflix TOGETHER. What content do we get for this money? It's not even in ANYWAY comparable to these cheaper services. Even programs like Doctor Who and Sherlock are made by "BBC Worldwide" which is the separate commercial arm to the BBC and would exist without license payers money.

    You can't even defend the money as going toward Journalism and reporting as they've become more biased than any other news source in this country.

    The whole thing is a sham.

    I was wondering what the Democrats were telling themselves to get to sleep each night. "It wasn't our fault people didn't vote for us, it was fate".

    But the EU is a failed socialist experiment. Half the countries are either bankrupt or teetering on it, spiralling unemployment and filled with immigrants that are refusing to assimilate leaving ghettos everywhere.

    Add to that, the national birth rates are so low that without the immigration the EU would depopulate and deflate.

    I really hope Marine Le Pen wins the France election and they leave the EU. That happens then the EU dissolves as it desperately needs to.

    I'm really starting to think you're Tennisace his second account. The lack of quality thread making is surprisingly similar: link to an article, provide no extra food for discussion and bounce.

    Ok, thanks for your well informed and thought-out response.

    You realize even with confusion that France have low birthrates since the mid 1850s, that virtually all European countries had socialist policies well before joining the UE (because you Americans call ''socialist'' stuff that the actual Nazis and Marine Le Pen took for granted, like public healthcare), that most of the UE economic policy (balanced budget, free trade) is quite to the right and so forth ?

    If you believe that it didnt change the position of the BBC well you are as naive as hillary on election night
    There is the sad paradox of a world which is more and more sensitive about being politically correct, almost to the point of ridicule, yet does not wish to acknowledge or to respect believers’ faith in God

    From my post #26:

    And the bad/failed idea that is in question is what the EU has become now.

    The original intent of individual nations collaborating for their mutual success turned into a system that allowed a gang of highly localized elitists to play god with the lives of millions of people while ignoring the wishes of said people.

    All that mutual success turned into a multinational game of: Who can we take from? Who can we give it to? And how can we use the exchange to stay in power?

    The EU's emphasis on liberal economics and deregulation and the absence of a more robust social component is a longstanding complaint by socialists and the main cause of euroskepticism on the left.

    Not even close to half.

    spiralling unemployment
    Unemployment has been going down, albeit slowly.

    and filled with immigrants that are refusing to assimilate leaving ghettos everywhere.
    Immigration from outside the EU has been under national governments' control, not that of the EU.

    Add to that, the national birth rates are so low that without the immigration the EU would depopulate and deflate.
    Our birthrates were low long before the EU even existed and EU membership has no real impact on birthrates.

    French election, not France election.
