davecykl<p>Very good to see <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TheGuardian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheGuardian</span></a> rightly giving the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/EUElection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EUElection</span></a> headline prominence on its home page, but also so sadly noticeable that the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BBC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BBC</span></a> gives only a brief mention well down the page, whereas for the USA (with a far smaller population) the BBC always gives their elections top billing. </p><p>I can’t help but think that if the UK media had always devoted more fair and proper coverage to our neighbours and (former) compatriots, we wouldn’t be in our current mess… <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RejoinSingleMarket" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RejoinSingleMarket</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RejoinEU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RejoinEU</span></a></p>
