@DannyStreetman The short clips were revealing - of what we already knew. Having now watched the whole 2 hours, I think we should focus on the fact that the film was a project of @guyverhofstadt, authorised and presumably subject to his team's editorial control.

@DannyStreetman @guyverhofstadt This film contrasts with The Lobby documentary series - on penetration of Israeli govt agents into UK politics, esp Labour, which was covertly filmed and broadcast on Al Jazeera aljazeera.com/investigations…

@DannyStreetman @guyverhofstadt The perspective of the film is evident from
1. "Hard Brexiteers" term used for those working for sovereignty and democracy.
2. Focus on parliamentary votes for May's WA, but zero attention to the appalling nature of this Surrender Treaty.

@DannyStreetman @guyverhofstadt 3. Olly Robbins' remark about getting an EU passport and not returning to UK was "a joke". But if the role of the powerful group of which Robbins is part - effectively a coup d'etat - had been looked at, the film would NOT have been broadcast on BBC.

4/n

@DannyStreetman @guyverhofstadt 4. Seen from the EU side, the UK negotiators appear shambolic and Theresa May an embarrassment. All true, I am sure. But on the whole the EU team is portrayed positively: they are contemptuous of UK side, but apparently with cause.

5. There is another story to be told.
