Off Topic Impact of Brexit on Football

Well, I am a filthy, limp-wristed, lefty London-dweller after all

 

You can't be, the immigrants would have stolen your job and forced you out by now! the first 2 points I can accept on your say so!

Bah!

 

I suppose, technically, I am an intra-country migrant.

Bloody East Anglians eh? Moving down to London and taking the jobs

Er, the BBC has been accused of quite the opposite, so you seem to be imagining things

The BBC has had a left wing bias ever since its inception #fact

 

What I find annoying is that on both sides they keep labelling Opinions as 'Facts'.

 

That's a fact!

 

Reality has a left wing bias.

But nonetheless, the Brexit/Bremain debate quite clearly isn't to do with left wing/right wing given the number of extreme left wingers/communists are united with the right wing extremists on this one. That probably explains why the BBC has been leaning towards Brexit at times

 

That is no better than my opinion given it is from someone who confesses to be supporting the stay campaign.

"Lord Patten, a Conservative peer and former BBC Trust chairman who is in favour of the UK staying in the EU, said it raised eyebrows when weighty figures from the Bank of England and the International Monetary Fund were given equal billing with “some backbencher no one has ever heard of”."

I have watched a number of shows on the beeb relating to Brexit and every one of them has felt like the interviewer or the subjects have been more sympathetic to the remain cause. If it is their general stance and belief that is fine, they shouldn't have to pretend otherwise but even if a lord wants to tell me otherwise I will believe what my leave tinted glasses tell me and that is that the BBC is pro-remain and broadcasting to favour that out come.

I know that a large proportion of those who wish to remain have no love for Cameron, but I note once again he seems to be running scared of real debate with the oposition politicians.

Bah!

 

Yeah ya bugger, get back to East Anglia and pick some fruit, then we won't have to exploit poor eastern europeans!

Bah!

 

Well I've watched a huge number of BBC shows and frankly I think their frequent blatant bias towards the Brexit campaign is a direct breach of their code of impartiality. How anyone picked up a pro-Bremain vibe is beyond me...

 

Two words: confirmation bias.

To clarify, I mean both sides are guilty of it.

 

Yeah sorry, I meant my previous post to have a winky face in it, but appear to have posted too soon

 

Ah, fair enough.

It's of course an unfortunately mostly unavoidable human trait. Very hard to see past it when coupled with stuff like 'blind-spot bias' and 'anchoring bias'. All sadly pretty much inevitable for all of us to some degree.

Must be your Bremain tinted specs!

Bah!

 

By anchoring bias, do you mean Ron Burgandy is favouring the Bremain champaign now too!

Bah!

 

I had to check who posted this twice, has KIO hacked your account JKC? Pretty funny though.

Bah!
