Ever wondered why #BBC news doesn't like covering the failures of Brexit?

Look no further than BBC Board member Robbie Gibb

Hard Brexiter, brother of Con MP Nick Gibb, former dit of comms for Theresa May and one one the founders of GB News

theguardian.com/media/2022/aug…
Robbie Gibb is acting as an "active agent of the Conservative party" acting as the arbiter of BBC impartiality

This actually means making sure bad news is not linked to the hard Brexit he passionately champions

Wonder why bad brexit comments get 'edited out'?
Brexit gets mentioned on #BBC Farming Today, hours later gets edited out of BBC Today programme

Trader blames Brexit for soaring price of fish – but BBC edits it out

Martin Kennedy, president of NFU Scotland, blamed food shortages on Brexit, again BBC edits it out

That time when the BBC accidentally used old footage of Boris Johnson laying a wreath at the Cenotaph because that day he looked hungover

And after a TV debate when they edited out people laughing at him

Emily Maitlis says ‘active Tory party agent’ shaping BBC news output

Northern Ireland

The EU have listened to people both sides of the border and offered practical solutions to real problems facing N Ireland

But it doesn't matter

Boris Johnson and Lord Frost only want confrontation to get tabloid headlines

They don't want to see a solution
In fact, the proposals put forward by the EU will only make life easier for people and trade between Ireland, Northern Ireland and Britain

The Government don't want a province of the UK seen to prosper in stark contrast to the mainland
Because then people will start asking why the rest of us cannot have the same benefits

Jacob Rees Mogg on the Westminster Hour is making all the arguments to support the Union that he denigrated when being stronger together was an argument for staying within the EU

The Slytherin tongued posh bastard is not so keen on taking back control now
Maybe it was all about him and his friends not paying tax after all

And I hate his condescending considered voice, it's like hearing a voice from history, when my kind were supposed to know our place and show due respect for his sort
But it is impossible to ever rile or ruffle Jacob Rees-Mogg

He's like a Tory Alexa, always replying in the same tone, never emotional or hesitant

He's either got a Vulcan style emotional control, or he is the most polite and smoothest talking psychopath I have ever come across
