"<br /><br />If you are nearly always leading with Remain points, then the response always seems a bit lame like "well they would say that wouldn't they". In terms of balanced reporting, they should be giving equal space as news headlines Leave points and getting the Remain response. They should also be alternating who comes first in the news headlines. <br /><br />The bias so far has been outrageous. <br /><br />As regards that discussion of migration, it shows you just how biased the framework is. They always seem to assume entry will be on the same basis as now. <br /><br />There is no suggestion ever from the BBC that the basis for migration might change. No doubt there will be people with skills from the EU that we require. They can come and live and work here on a time limited "guest worker" basis, after which they return to their country of origin or re-apply for another time limited period. There is no reason why this shouldn't also be linked to infrastructure levy payments by migrants coming in, to reflect the true cost of migration which is currently hidden by the many free or subsidised services provided in the UK e.g. NHS, schools, social housing (and housing benefit), roads, public transport, leisure centres etc. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
