Er, the running of the referendum was not in any way an EU matter. It was an internal UK matter. I know you'd like to blame the EU for everything including last week's snowstorms, but let's be sensible about this, Nigel.

Perceptions can't really trump facts, Iains. If you think the Beeb has revealed any anti-brexit bias, give us an example or two. I've seen a lot of neutrality but little hint of bias one way or the other. Generally, the correspondents try to keep their own predilections to themselves, even those Tories I listed, though Jonathan Dimbleby always gives lefties a hard time in my opinion. Last night, Emily M. was very indulgent towards the appalling Louise Ellman and the charmless Laura K. cut the Corbynistas no slack. We can all pick out nuance like that, but on the whole I don't see too much express bias. And the Question Time audience is routinely infested with braying little Englander brexiteers, usually well-indulged by Dimbleby. If you don't like the Beeb much, seek refuge in the Mail for your confirmation bias. And don't pretend that it costs you nowt so to do, unlike the licence fee. You have to buy the paper and all that advertising makes things much more expensive to buy. AND the editor evades tax. Swings 'n' roundabouts.
