What Has the Eu Done For You?
One question I can't find an answer to through Google right now, is why the right-wing media in the UK as so fervently anti-Europe? Pitifully, 80% of the British media is owned by billionaires who do not pay any UK taxes, with the Barclay Brothers (Telegraph) The Rothermere's (The Mail) and Murdoch (The Sun, The Times and Sky) all living outside the UK.

Frith was politely bemoaning the fact that I had failed to mention him in a post I penned about AE Stoddart on a wet summer Sunday a few years ago, especially as some of the information in the post was gleaned from his hard work.
