So the British government owns a few banks at the same time.

So the EU comes along and breaks them up har har.

The EU tells it can't run two institutions at the same time ??

Just how must Governmment monopoly does the EU want to bust up.

Why has the EU left the BBC alone?


What if the Government made them all into one bank of England.
Could they have broken that up too.

Because the BBC are so slavishly pro-EU.

Because they believe the BBC is a special case.  "Public service 
broadcasting, although having a clear economic relevance, is not comparable 
to a public service in any other economic sector."

"The broadcast media play a central role in the functioning of modern 
democratic societies, in particular in the development and transmission of 
social values. Therefore, the broadcasting sector has, since its inception, 
been subject to specific regulation in the general interest. This regulation 
has been based on common values, such as freedom of expression and the right 
of reply, pluralism, protection of copyright, promotion of cultural and 
linguistic diversity, protection of minors and of human dignity, consumer 
protection."

The EU's own cartelistic behaviour goes unchallenged. It's gaining 
monopolies in state violence and money, as well as exclusive right to 
negotiate for economic rights with the outside world.
