It boils down to that the sole focus of BBC business reporting is to find confirmation that leaving the EU is a disaster.Robin Horburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17983005314113577874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-40484588486954648782017-12-27T06:48:36.760+00:002017-12-27T06:48:36.760+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Robin Horburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17983005314113577874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-18069613941455950182017-12-26T20:32:17.183+00:002017-12-26T20:32:17.183+00:00I don't know, but the last couple of Kamal sto...I don't know, but the last couple of Kamal stories I saw were rather less Brexiphobic than usual...I suppose some of the BBC correspondents are seeing that old tension between the interests of the organisation you work for and your personal interest. Like jsut before a bank fails...It's not really in the interests of the younger economics reporters to make themselves look complete and utter chumps is it? <br /><br />That said, I always take the BBC advice on this..."If you are in a situation where older men* are trying to control you and asking you to do something that makes you feel uncomfortable then just walk away. It's your right to say no." <br /><br />*Juncker, Barnier, Tusk etc Monkey Brainsnoreply@blogger.com
