    Mike Berry's more recent studies, and published in book form are focused on what he says is the clear bias of ITV and the BBC, in that instance, on the coverage of the Israeli Palestinian conflict.

    Just because you cannot trust your children doesn't mean that us normal people can't.

    On the contrary, I am fully aware of the evil currently abounding in the country and am able to inform my children and prepare them for it. Perhaps you prepare your children to be evil.

    Okay, let's try these;

    Q1. In what way do you believe being in the EU has affected your life?
    Q2. Would you consider the impact of immigration on the UK economy since WW!! to have been mostly positive, mostly negative, neither or both?
    Q3. How would you assess the impact of immigration since WW!! on the culture of the UK, ie mostly positive, mostly negative, neither or both?

    Odds on a direct response to the 3 questions asked 2500/1

    Odds on 8 pages of deflection and then blaming you for said deflection 1/100

    Okey doke. And then you can do the same with those questions and the others I've raised. I'll limit it to the recent issues I raised on the economy and the potential break up of the EU. <ok>

    They're all broad questions that don't really do justice to the topics, but I'll have a go at making best.

    1. Being in the EU hasn't directly affected my life. But the indirect effects include influences that have had a detrimental impact on trade, and the allocation of funding has meant that there was little influence at the local level, so the benefits were often negated.

    2.On the whole, I'd say immigration has had a negative effect as it has restricted wages. More widely, it has been detrimental to host nations as it encourages a brain drain, leaving them vulnerable and needing assistance.

    3. I like diverse culure, it's what attracts people to Britain. Sadly some have tried to use this to dilute the very culture that made it attractive and welcoming.

    Your go. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Im sure Hitlers parents brought him up to be a megalomaniac killer moron.

    Moral is, Kids will do what they want, even if you show them the right way.

    That's terrible
    I think it will be along the lines of "I have answered that many times. You obviously missed it."

    Q1 I cant have a 2300 watt hover, also they plan to limit the power of kettles, the only thing is it will still use the same amount of electricity if its 2500watt or 1800 watt (thats what the EU want)
    Q2 Immigration has both been positive and negative, to the economy, but in recent years its been to many to fast and that has stopped wages rising, so while it still boost the economy, the general population are worse off.
    Q3 Again bit of both, its only the last 10 years were it has been bad, too many to fast.

    As a matter of interest what figure would you actually put on that wage depression, as a percentage?

    And do you think that it's had an effect across the entire spectrum of employment?

    Same question goes to @Hull City AFC (DMD)

    Very briefly then, for now.

    1) It's hard to say exactly how being in the EU has affected my life really. I struggle to see any negatives though. And it has made it easier for me to travel round Europe. It oppened up the prospect of me retiring to Spain. My son is considering a move to Berlin, just to try his luck for a year. Those opportunities are at risk due to Brexit.

    2) I think most economists are agreed that immigration has a positive effect on a coutry's economy. More people working, soending their wages and paying taxes equals more money circulating in the economy. I take the point about low wages, but do not agree that immigration is the cause. Low wages, rather than unemployment, are the main symptom imo of this prolonged recession.

    3. I am a Londoner. I love this city and it's mish mash of diverse cultures. I do sometimes feel my own culture is under threat, not from immigrants but from gentrification. Working class Londoners are being driven out of our own city, not by foreign workers but by rising house prices and a desperate lack of social housing, for which I blame Margeret Thatcher.

    Perhaps you are a lousy teacher
    Hitler's parents must have done something wrong. He didn't wake up one morning and thought it was a good idea to kill millions of Jews
