THEY`RE AT IT AGAIN..

The BBC`s seemingly relentless crusade against Brexit goes on and on.  Yesterday I turned on the red button and saw this on the `teletext` page:-

"FARMERS TO RECEIVE POST BREXIT PAYOUTS

UK farmers will receive money for making improvements that boost the environment, under a new system to be introduced post-Brexit.

Environment Secretary Michael Gove will tell farmers the new payments would reward planting wildflower meadows and woodland and improving water quality.

The system would replace EU subsidies - now £3 billion a year - five years after Brexit in 2024.

Meanwhile a report warns that trade deals could threaten UK food security."

So, once again, a Brexit good news story for farmers and for the nation as we kiss goodbye to the EU`s mad Common Agricultural Policy is tempered with yet another warning of a dire threat once we leave.

  

And in other BBC news, yesterday arch-malcontent Tony Blair went on Radio 4 quite seriously, albeit delusional, stating yet again that there should be another referendum if we don`t like the deal with the EU.  To his credit, the interviewer John Humphries reminded Blair of the realities of democracy but what is interesting is that the BBC were prepared to give this serial  fibber any air time to begin with.

It really feels that the BBC just can`t help themselves.  

A JUMP OFF AGAINST THE CLOCK ?

Whilst munching my snacky lunch today, the BBC news came on and whilst they thought they should firstly report the story that the Met. Police are going to re-examine loads of rape cases, it was pretty clear that the BBC news editors could hardly wait to report the contents of the IMF Report into the UK`s economic prospects post Brexit.

With almost undisguised glee, the BBC mentioned that the IMF had `downgraded` to UK`s growth prospects to 1.6% in the coming year and that it would plummet to 1.5% the year after we leave the European Empire.   What they failed to make clear was that these forecasts would see the UK economy come down, `plummet` from the current growth rate of 1.7%.  Hardly a dramatic fall  but it typifies the BBC`s obsession with accentuating the negative with anything to do with Brexit.

And, of course, it again exemplifies the attitude on the part of the London-centric, Liberal elite, with the BBC in the vanguard, who are beside themselves that the great unwashed British public had the audacity to vote to leave the EU.  There is, of course, a growing, not very subtle campaign to change people`s minds by constantly promising all kinds of doom once we throw off the shackles of the United States of Germany.

A couple of things.  First, my own personal Brexit vote was cast in full knowledge that there would be consequences, but at least they would be our consequences and ours to sort out and overcome, which as a nation we are perfectly capable of so doing.   And next, of course, what the BBC and all the other deniers of democracy fail to grasp is that the more we are threatened, however surreptitiously, the more people like me are determined to hold on to those principles that convinced me to cast my vote the way I did.   And surely Messrs. Barnier, Juncker et al must realise that the more `arsy` they become, the more determined will be our majority desire to get away from them.

But what happens if the elitist campaign wins the day and, however unlikely, undemocratic and unconstitutional it may be, another referendum is called and one that votes to remain?  Well I guess that will make it 1-1 after extra time.  I suppose we`ll then have a jump off against the clock or, heaven forbid, our national future will be decided on penalties.   And you just know how atrocious our record in penalty shoot-outs is against European opponents.
