BBC is 'failing in its duty to be impartial over Brexit'

The BBC is failing in its duty to be impartial over Brexit, a group of parliamentarians has claimed. In a letter to senior BBC figures, they said the broadcaster had characterised Britain as xenophobic and focused too much on regretful leave voters.

The 76-strong group, made up mainly of Conservative MPs and including former cabinet ministers, warned the BBC’s director general, Tony Hall, and the incoming chair of its new governing body, David Clementi, that the broadcaster’s future might be in jeopardy if it was not seen as neutral.

Hilarious.

The Guardian writing a story about leftist bias at BBC.

At least it’s a topic the pathetic Guardian can address with some serious experience!

Last time I checked...the next Brit election (unless something occurs) is spring 2020...a LONG way away. I think Corbin will be allowed to play out his gimmick as long as possible, and then in the summer of 2019...some staged fake party coup will occur and bring in some fresh face like Yvette Cooper. At that point, spring 2020...a flip on leadership will occur and the Labor guys return.

Now, how this affects after-BREXIT which will have had two years to develop and take some root, is beyond me.

May campaigned against Brexit - as she had a perfect right to do.

And now she has bowed to the clearly indicated will of the People. Nothing absurd about that.

Nothing self serving there. A true pillar of trust.

Wait till the German and French taxpayers find out how much they’re going to pay when the Brits leave, they’ll be tense after that.

Interesting, some people are a little bit tense so early.
You know people in a pickle are having a crap storm when they bring up WW2 to Germany.

That tactic didn't help Greece any.

... GREECE!

But at least reporters aren’t being shot dead in front of their door like Russia.

The Globalist bankers have bigger fish to fry. The useful morons of the BBC are just happy to continue to be able to indulge in their perverted private pastimes without interference. They've thrown the dead guys to the wolves and hope the people will go away.

Have the big shots run out of children on the continent yet?

The last 2 words in the headline are superfluous.

What does that have to do with Britain cutting the European wart off of its ass?

So the German budget has plenty of room to pay more to Brussels. No need to keep asking the Brits for $65 Billion to leave the EU.brexit-divorce-bill-proposal...-absurd

You mention ‘elites’ and ‘elitism’; it certainly was not the elites who voted for Brexit.

I’m not pro-EU and I try not to read The Guardian though, so what do I know? I’ll bow to your superior knowledge of elitism.
