BREXIT OPPORTUNITIES STILL IGNORED.

The BBC remains relentlessly pro-Europe, left wing and anti-Conservative, as it's assorted news stories and reports of today confirm.

It's been headlining stories based on information supposedly received from unnamed government sources and analysis by the Institute for Fiscal Studies, a body whose predictions have become as unreliable as those of the Bank of England, International Monetary Fund and any other organisation with an overblown view of its own brilliance. 

According to the latest reports, discussions with the European Union are on the point of collapse and the government is putting in place contingency plans to disrupt the EU's future business. Reported  'leaks' from the EU side are entirely negative about the Prime Minister's latest proposals and a "government official" has "told the BBC" that the EU had not shown any desire to move towards acceptance of Mr Johnson's plans. It seems that "No Deal" is now the only likely outcome, at least according to these unidentified sources. However, given that the BBC is unashamedly pro-EU, might this not just be part of their contribution to Project Fear, insisting that all is doom and gloom ?

Allied to these stories, reports and leaks, the IFS has come up with a new set of predictions which claim that "No Deal" will lead to government borrowing reaching levels not seen in more than 50 years, and this on even the most optimistic "No Deal" scenario. Again, negativity piled on top of negativity, with little coverage given to the potential opportunities that will open up once the UK is free of the EU strait-jacket.

Instead of supporting OUR Prime Minister and OUR government in its negotiations, the BBC, much of the rest of the media, organisations such as the IFS and Bank of England, and many other high profile, but entirely self-interested and unrepresentative bodies, continue to focus on supposed dangers of Brexit, rather than promoting the very obvious opportunities. Why is this ?

Surely it is because these organisations benefit from the cosy and protectionist world of the European Union, a world run by the liberal left and one in which hard choices rarely, if ever, have to be made. The BBC's turmoil over the recent investigation into remarks made by the usually excellent Naga Munchetty demonstrates just how difficult this particular media outlet finds it to be open and honest, with its wishy-washy Director General being very easily swayed by a left wing assault on the judgement of his own complaints procedures. The BBC, and the rest, love the protective blanket provided by the EU's labyrinthine organisation and socialist doctrines; they'd much rather blame others for whatever goes wrong than accept responsibility themselves and so we have stagnation with no one making any meaningful decisions about anything, unless its the lowest common denominator that all can agree on.

If there is one ultimate benefit to be gained from leaving the EU it is gaining the right to make our own decisions, unencumbered by the need to obtain the agreement of 27 other nations, every one of which has its own vested interests. Why can't the BBC, BoE, IFS and the rest see this ?
