Outed by Katie Hopkins.

A year ago she was sneered at by the Left and the BBC

They have shut their mouths since.

In the full expectation of criticism of my statements above, I thought I'd google the question. This is what came up - plenty of reading material for those interested:

One extract at the end of the New Statesman report especially caught my eye:

"So the evidence from the research is clear. The BBC tends to reproduce a Conservative, Eurosceptic, pro-business version of the world, not a left-wing, anti-business agenda."

Immediately followed by this statement:

"The funding for some of the research discussed in this article was provided directly by the BBC Trust."

It might also be worth googling the question: Is the New Statesman biased?

Consider this. The Daily Express and the Daily Mail are followed by the majority of the population, whether you like it or not.

Consider this too. The majority of the population voted in favour of Brexit, whether you like it or not.

As for the BBC, it is well known that it is a left-leaning organisation (try watching Question Time, for example) and, more to the point, it receives funding from the EU. If you received regular financing from the EU, wouldn't you want that situation to continue? Of course you would.

With respect, Devo, I feel that you'd be well advised to look up the meaning of the word 'democracy'.

I especially like that bit about the majority of the population being 'wrong' because you don't agree with them!

Democracy is a much abused word and I do not think it is the best way of deciding governments let alone important things like leaving the EU, based upon a binary question that absolutely failed to spell out the subtleties and implications of leaving. It is not that difficult to show that in the case of the referendum, the relatively small majority (not the idiot Farage's landslide, as I heard him call it) being based on false premises, was the wrong decision.

Ever since the referendum raised its ugly head the Express gave up all pretence of being a serious newspaper, if only in part. It is now a ridiculous, laughable propaganda sheet with only a tenuous grasp on reality and an obsessive preoccupation with anything brexit.
Do they really think everyone should sing from the same hymn sheet, all coerced but faithful worshippers in the national religion of Brexitism, where any heresy is hounded to death? Do they totally ignore the nearly half who did not happily vote leave, like turkeys voting for Christmas? A nearly half that is now almost certainly a fair bit more than half.
As far as I am aware, the vilified slot on Radio 4 is for personal comments and not official BBC policy (if such a thing actually exists). The comment in question broke no laws and so I cannot see what was wrong with it.
Time after time the BBC is accused of bias. That bias is a natural position for a balanced broadcaster when seen from the extremes. I sincerely how the BBC never feels the need to pander to those extremes and, in doing so, become a worthless tool of the state.

So presumably the minority of voters who were in favour of remaining under the jackboot should have had their wishes respected. I'm sure the EU would love to have you on their payroll.

Fortunately, democracy doesn't work like that. A fair vote in which everyone eligible can have their say, led to a majority vote to leave the EU. Desperate attempts by those who don't like democracy have so far proved to have failed.
