Mounts Kipper Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 British imperialism' | Britain has hit back at a European Union plan to heavily reduce the "disproportionate" amount of British television and film shown in Europe. The European Commission has been asked to study the risk of British "cultural imperialism", in a possible first step towards tough rules banning UK shows from screens. British dominance owing to shows such as The Crown and Downton Abbey was described as a threat to Europe's "cultural diversity" in a leaked EU document.

Site Supporter Spider Posted June 22, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted June 22, 2021 This post was brought to you in association with the year 1989, when things like Netflix and access to absolutely everything via the internet didn’t exist. As clutching at straws goes, this is truly magnificent. Hows that border in the Irish Sea doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our customers now buy ex works, for a small discount as we use to pay freight. The customers in Eire still buying but now it’s double whammy as we pay duty in UK for imported goods and they have to pay duty again when it lands in Ireland. Perhaps they should leave the EU, and join their real friends outside of the EU, that would be my advise.

If its the Mail, Express, Sun, Times or Farage it's likely made up or they missed out the words "could" and "possibly" somewhere. Besides which, as Spider stated, everything is available on line. There is no way they can stop people watching it. Just like I can watch Sky Sports UK in Germany even though I can't watch Sky Sports UK in Germany according to Sky.

Our leaders are currently telling us that we should isolate even if we’ve been vaccined. We have much bigger problems closer to home than a quote from some local newspaper in Luxembourg.

You say there’s no way but try telling that to the kids in China and most of mid-Asia. There is a way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll be banning proper English lager next, like Fosters and Stella, the filthy undemocratic smelly European cunts. At this rate, big fat angry English blokes will be taking their business elsewhere. Though I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted June 22, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted June 22, 2021 The article appears to be from the telegraph. I wouldn't read too much into it, other than if true, it's another confirmation of the UK doing the right thing. Up until 6 months or so ago, we were a part of the EU, and yet now a threat to European diversity. Tremendous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
