The farmers are now unhappy as the government are allowing tariff free access for Australian lamb to the UK as part of a trade agreement that they hope will increase UK exports of trucks and machinery to Australia. This is the sectoral balancing act of free trade agreements which is the new reality. Anyone whose sector looks to lose out will inevitably say that wasn't what brexit promised. Turkeys voting for Christmas because they liked tinsel. Van der MoodHoover 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he was smashed in the face with a fire extinguisher, wasn't aware he'd been sprayed in the face with mace which could be the cause of death. By all means keep on waiting for a natural causes verdict, but I think the cause of death will be the right wing mob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't though, that story was later retracted; https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-56810371 'Speculation over Officer Sicknick's death was the source of widespread disinformation after the New York Times reported erroneously that protesters had bludgeoned him with a fire extinguisher - a claim the newspaper later retracted.' Furthermore, the verdict has already been delivered; https://www.politifact.com/article/2021/apr/20/update-capitol-police-officer-sicknick-died-natura/ 'A full autopsy found that officer Brian Sicknick suffered two strokes after the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol, with no sign that any injury or reaction to chemical irritants played a role. Media coverage in the days after his death was of mixed accuracy.' Anon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duracell Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Left and right both accuse the BBC of bias. Who's right? Or could it be that neither are satisfied until their definition of 'bias' is met - which in my mind, is presenting the news in their favour.

Or could it be that neither are satisfied until their definition of 'bias' is met - which in my mind, is presenting the news in their favour. Pretty much this. I've always suggested that because both sides ('teams', 'factions', 'tribes' - call them what you will) reckon the BBC covers or slants stories from the other mob's perspective, they must be doing something right. I would take that a little further - if you cannot buy into that argument and you think that even supposed 'centrist' opinions are too far left or right for your sensibilities, then you most likely inhabit an extreme position within your team, faction or tribe - ergo, you are an extremist.

If a remainer saw Farage every week on a Question Time or whatever you would think its biased by giving him a platform every week (ignoring the fact he would be sat with 3 remainers) whereas a Brexiteer would think he was outnumbered 3-1. There have been studies done that show left wing bias; https://iea.org.uk/media/iea-analysis-shows-systemic-bias-against-leave-supporters-on-flagship-bbc-political-programmes/ https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1371675/BBC-bias-BBC-news-left-wing-latest-study-comedy Likewise they have been accused of Tory bias; https://www.theguardian.com/media/2019/dec/05/the-bbc-cannot-dodge-accusations-of-tory-bias There are probably a many, many more that show other biases. My personal opinion is that it probably leans left and frequently doesn't tell you the whole story. No doubt others will think differently.

I hear GB news is good. I'm sorry if I don't have all the full facts about what happened during the violent insurrection at Capitol Hill. Can we agree he was killed? Can we agree that the invasion was led by the right, and caused deaths? That some came armed and ready to do some pretty unpleasant things? I think my point still stands that it's not a disease limited to the left. They have a problem with it but it's not just the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
