BBC is under fire for publishing and promoting what has been called by critics a “dishonest” video cartoon stating that the United Kingdom “was multicultural before curry and carnival.”
The BBC video was designed to engage teenage school students aged 14 to 16 on the charged topic of immigration, but it has instead sparked fierce backlash from many UK politicians, who have accused the authors of the cartoon of clear political bias.

Already skeptical of the administrative activities of the European Union, Italian League Party leader and Italian Interior Ministry Matteo Salvini is criticising the EU for negotiating Brexit talks with London in ‘bad faith’.

The British government is in full on prepper mode right now, gearing up for the possibilities and problems that could come about as a result of a no-deal Brexit. The army is on standby to ensure peace and stability as well as to provide an infrastructure for the delivery of crucial supplies such as food, medicine, and fuel, especially in areas which could be the most prone to shortages. In order to provide for this scenario, the British government is also stockpiling necessary supplies.

Billionaire globalist founder of the Virgin Group, Richard Branson expresses his disappointment with the Brexit vote in an interview with David Rubenstein in the latest episode of “The David Rubenstein Show: Peer-to-Peer Conversations”.
Branson told Rubenstein that Brexit is “the saddest thing that’s happened” to Britain and many people were misled.
