Fair, responsible information may be a thing of the past. As we watch it play out globally, a plutocratic right wing media will control the narrative. Leaving the EU was a disingenuous campaign and a disaster for the UK.
TG writes its hard to debate EU with the current media.
Thats because they are not free nor plural, their ownership dominated by billionaire oligarchs, incl Rupert Murdoch.
Currently, the media is not working as they should in a democracy.
TG should start to argue for a UK media reform, to fix this.
To be fair, almost half of us knew before the referendum that it was never going to work. Also, the result could have been honoured by deal like Norway has, where we would have retained a lot of the advantages of membership, and only lost all our democratic decision making power.
Same reason we got Trump. Demonized by the right. All your problems are not cause by non white immigrants. Immigrants are economic powerhouses. You can’t sustain a strong economy or grow one without young workers. Majority population is older and declining. You have to import workers.
I guess that’s a kind of oxymoron. Sounds daft but actually makes sense. Nevertheless, those chickens I’m not counting given the current political volatility.

The only way to fix this, is without him.
Pro-EU folk need more support from the media.
