That makes no sense to me!

Obama said that there were other deals to be negotiated before us, because we already had one and if we voluntarily gave it up we couldn't expect preferential treatment. He was supportive of the EU.

Trump wants to break up the EU so holds out a promise that is undeliverable, unless we massively compromise, which we won't.

Any separate deal with the USA would take a lot of time to negotiate unless it closely replicated exactly what already exists between the EU and the USA. That's the reality. Obama spoke the truth. Trump is just being the con man he always is.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

I'm not arguing if we get a good or bad deal, that's your deflection from my question that Obama lied. Nice try though.

So yes you are biased.

I know....I can't think of much I like about Murdoch or his empire....however it's somewhat telling that this is the media king that Wisbech, the self styled, 'one nation conservative' chooses to complain about.

'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

To repeat. Obama did not lie. He told the truth

Trump lies all the time. It's his default position and he doesn't even know he is doing it. This though wasn't so much a deliberate lie as an ignorant statement because I suspect he really believed it. At least at the moment his mouth was moving.

I would question the validity of that statement. It was the Sunday Times which published the story. Circulation 712k. Times circulation 417k. The Sun has a daily readership of 9.86 million with another 29.3 million reading it online and 23.86 million check it on their phones. Murdoch is pretty subtle in appearing to promote balance whilst actually making sure which way the compass should point.

You're conflating circulation and readership, for starters.

And Murdoch doesn't have a monopoly on US and UK media. People have a choice to what they consume. But people who don't follow your narrative are just stupid, right?
