It IS your job as journalist to inform & educate both yourself (if I, a working class Northener who was not convinced by the somehow not "elites" driving brexit can do so, so can you) and your followers. However I suspect you did but to you it's a game as you will not be affected
-
Given that I interview experts on my radio show about these topics every day, I think I’m managing just fine, thanks. This is certainly not a game for me.

On the contrary my belief is Julia knows rather more than she concedes (she's not ignorant..in same way for example Dorries is). It suits her to take position she does for her own career/following. She's a relatively smart cookie playing games (allegedly) that will not affect her

If stupidity is just an act then the lady is a master of disguise.

Of course I might be entirely wrong....I do not follow her avidly, but she smacks more of arrogant deceit than of being Dorries dumb

Journalists used to think their job was to intermediate between the real world and their readers. Instead, you think your job is to reinforce the fantasies of those who don’t want to come to terms with reality.

If voters voted to repeal the laws of thermodynamics, to bring about free, unlimited energy, and parliament decided they were unable to deliver it (as they have no power to change the basic laws of physics), would they be letting voters down?
-
If these laws were invented by 'furriners', I'm afraid that's exactly how the right-wing press and its various mouthpieces would paint the situation, yes.

Why not ditch the pretence and actually get
@PeteNorth303 or@knoweuro or@lostleonardo or any@LeaveHQ affiliate on and hold their views to account? Prove for once you’re not the careerist socialite you appear to be. -
Career socialite. Lol.
-
LOL. Ok, sure. A piss take from a Brewer - who’d have thought it? Enjoy - but this REALLY matters.

It's your job to be a journalist, apparently, and that used to mean holding politicians to account. Indeed that's what you talked about right there. But you're supposed to use your platform to hold them to truth, integrity and law, not your personal opinion.
-
Unless of course democracy now is just everyone with journalistic and political platforms exploiting their positions to have more say in lobbying for whatever they personally want, and to hell with critical analysis and unbiased political accountability.
