Kathy Sheridan: With its big, ridiculous mistake, the BBC played into the hands of an authoritarian liar

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : The sport of kicking it is decades older than Brexit, but what makes this latest session so compelling is the nakedly co-ordinated right-wing push to eviscerate it, finally.
52% : Brexit wasn't just a huge story.
51% : Theresa May's 2017 outline deal with the EU was greeted as a Westminster triumph with only minor genuflections towards the Irish conundrum that it left nakedly unresolved.
48% : The political pressure is externally evident in the BBC's relentless platforming, again, of Farage - the begetter of Brexit - and his handful of MPs.
45% : A few obscure economists who said Brexit would trigger a boom were given equal space to the clear (and clearly sane) majority who warned it would do the opposite.
42% : Placed alongside the fathomless cultural and political and economic divisions inflicted by Brexit, the latest eruptions against the broadcaster don't even come close.
40% : They simply reopen the deep livid scars in political and cultural life created by Brexit, the original sin.
31% : Its Brexit coverage was terrible enough to alienate this listener for several years.
