He lives in The Netherlands remember and (as we know from his posts) as such he doesn't have much of an idea about the realities of life in the UK.
He's not even European.

It took you a long time to realize what isn't true?
That sounds about right.
The UK has got one of the most diverse free media industries in the world.

A lot of our media like the BBC and Sky news get paid by the EU to say nice things about them.

Have a watch of Euronews, that's hilarious, everyone saying nice things about the EU and ignoring France being on the brink of civil war.

I don’t believe I ever said he doesn’t pay his taxes, only that where people get there money from is not only their business but the taxman’s as well in answer to your previous response. For your benefit I also cited the act of Parliament that gives them those powers

Stop going off-topic!

To reply though:
"Some European countries lead the world in respect for media freedom, yet the situation across the EU is growing increasingly heterogeneous, according to the 2021 World Press Freedom Index"

https://www.euractiv.com/section/dig...heterogeneous/

The Netherlands isn't the whole EU.


Oh and you might need to look up what heterogenous means.
