Don't bother with the details of the claims, or if there any vested interests from said world leaders in keeping Britain In.

They could have led with, say, Chris Grayling on 'Marr'. <br /><br />I will give TWTW a listen. Until now, I've never noticed much of an interest from BBC Radio 4 current affairs programmes in farmers' concerns. They usually confine that sort of thing to 5.45 in the morning ('Farming Today'). Did Mark Mardell ask if he could milk a bull?Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08741318067991857821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-80533581196571299112016-04-17T22:09:12.759+01:002016-04-17T22:09:12.759+01:00This is no balance.

If it were balance, then the BBC would seek out the opinions of foreigners who think this all nonsense and the UK will be essentially fine and perhaps better off outside the EU. The BBC are doing the Remain campaign's work for them. Why should Mr Macron feature at all in our national news? If he said "I guarantee you we will NEVER sign up to a trade agreement with a UK determined to leave the EU." that would be news. It is not news that he or indeed a hundred other senior EU politicians are desperately concerned about the repercussions of a Brexit vote for the whole EU project. If they have to be featured why does the BBC never frame their comments in that way. <br /><br />BTW have a listen to Mardell on TWTW on Radio 4 at 1pm today. Completely biased presentation on the issue of farming and Brexit. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
