@afneil The BBC was far better before it was run down and partially privatised by splitting production off to independents. No way to put the genie back in the bottle but I am one in favour of the licence fee and getting the fee back to a sensible value.

The last time the north had a forward looking and integrated railway that straddled the Pennines ?

WTAF did they think would happen when the UK left the EU?

We are no longer an EU country. They can’t “betray” us. WE LEFT.

[John New @john_jnew]

@GuillermElodie Yes

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

I am right in thinking everyone wants to Rejoin the Eu aren't I?
