WE NEED TO CHALLENGE SOME OF THOSE BREXIT STATEMENTS
Well, the 'official' EU referendum campaign has finally begun. Funny, it appears to have been going on for months already. I was interested to see the images of the two official campaigns juxtaposed today in the BBC report on my TV screen. The 'Leave' campaign was illustrated by old footage of Tories Grayling, Gove and Whittingdale etc. manning the phone lines, whereas the 'In' footage showed Tory, Labour and Lib Dem politicians, including the Prime Minister, doing the same thing. For an organisation that has tried so far to be unfailingly impartial in its reporting of the campaign in its 'phoney war' stage, I have a feeling that the BBC has possibly given the 'In' campaign a visual leg up, by showing its multi party nature. Now, whether we get politicians of different parties actually sharing a platform as we did in 1975 is a different matter.
