Beware Europhiliac Hacks Who Slant Brexit News!
I wonder if The Independent’s Joe Stone actually considers himself a journalist.
.
He styles himself their ‘Europe Correspondent,’ but his reporting is so blatantly partisan that a more apt description might be a lickspittle Europhiliac hack.
Get this, a chunk of anti-Brexit Party bias extracted from his ‘report’ on Anne Widdecombe’s maiden speech this week.
.
Ann Widdecombe, MEP
….
The former Tory shadow home secretary claimed Britain was “oppressed” and, apparently without irony, likened Brexit to a colony rising up against an occupying empire.
That comparison exactly echoes how millions of Brits view the situation and why a majority voted for deliverance in 2016.
So why does this scribbler Stone insert his snide reference to ‘irony?’
Definition of Irony
‘ ….the use of words that are the opposite of what you mean, as a way of being funny….’
..
There’s no place for ‘irony’ when the UK faces an arrogant supranational entity bent on a ‘back-stop’ which will, if implemented, destabilise the unity of the realm to appease an alien and hostile republic…

Mind Your Erse! Varadkar Minces Into Ulster’s Internal Affairs
…which brazenly aspires to annex a million Ulster Brits and raise its vile tricolour over Belfast, Londonderry and every other loyal community across the water.
Not to mention Brussels’ demands for ‘Brexit Bill’ Danegeld…
.
..
…and the arrogant insistence that, near unique among international pacts, arbitration, if required, is reserved to the EU’s own court, the ECJ!
Every British patriot, in Ulster or on the mainland, must have cheered when they read how Anne socked it to the Strasbourg Slugs!
“There is a pattern consistent throughout history of oppressed people turning on the oppressors: slaves against their owners, the peasantry against their feudal barons – colonies, Mr Verhofstadt, against their empires. That is why Britain is leaving…
It doesn’t matter which language you use, we are going, and we are glad to be going.” https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/ann-widdecombe-brexit-party-slaves-rising-owners-uk-leave-eu-a8987971.html
Stone reports all kinds of curs’ cretinous rejoinders, the most offensive coming from some coarse Green MEP cow who asked if the Brexiteer matron was ‘drunk!’
.
.
Were he even remotely interested, or professional, he’d easily have found an equal number of supportive voices but the Euroid creep didn’t even try.

Irony?
The media these days is one huge irony, so-called ‘reporting’ but mediating what news we get, no impartial reporting, sly little digs against people that this leftist Stone dislikes.
His writing is carefully imbalanced in giving us other politicians’ comments which are hostile to Brexit, too biased or too lazy to look for comments from the many who would be pro-Brexit.

A number of these leftists call themselves ‘journalists’ but are not. They are bloggers really but they get paid for it.
Stone’s writing is similar to yours.
I don’t mean that rudely, he lacks your liveliness. What I mean is that you are a blogger and polemicist. You use whatever facts are handy to fight for your causes. He is not that different.
His prejudices are made plain, so if we are patriotic, he’s best avoided, as he is vexatious to our spirits.
You don’t avoid him, and others like him. You fire back at them and that’s why we enjoy your blog.
You are responding to the Left on our behalf.
