The upcoming review will, no doubt, see it become official. Anyone who actually watches the news would know that.
Yes Moreover I do watch the BBC news and I am inclined to agree with you. I would imagine that the Beeb must keep in the good books of whoever is in government at the time be it Conservative
or Labour, the ruling party could make it very tough for the Beeb so it would be in their best interests to know which side their bread is buttered. Wasn't there some issue a while back about ceasing the licence fee. Being threatened with a big stick springs to mind. And considering their stance on the EU referendum; did I read it somewhere that they are receiving monies from the EU, so again, why bite the hand that feeds you.
Would you be referring The TTIP Moreover - The Transatlantic Trade Investment Partnership? Word has it that it's not the sort of club we should be considering membership of.
