BBC has been chastised for taking a ‘pro-EU’ stance on the dreaded Brexit deal
Conservative MP John Redwood attacked the channel after a “pro-EU expert” spoke on the Northern Ireland Protocol. Sir Jonathan Jones, a former permanent legal secretary, was recently featured on the BBC’s PM programme. “What would you advise the [EU] to do in response to the British government doing something unilateral and probably illegal?” asked host Evan Davis.
“Well, we know the EU would be furious if that happened, and it’s understandable why they would be furious because this would be an illegal act,” Sir Jonathan responded.
“It would be a unilateral act by definition, and it would severely harm the relationship with the EU that we will need post-Brexit.”
“And the EU would be justified in responding in this manner.”
Sir Jonathan was referring to the UK government’s vow to take unilateral action in response to the dreaded Northern Ireland Protocol, which is causing delays, supermarket shortages, and greater costs for Northern Irish businesses.
“The BBC PM progrаmme hаd а pro-EU expert to help tell us how the EU could defeаt the UK,” Mr Redwood wrote on Twitter. to continue the EU’s destruction of the Good Fridаy Agreement
