quite a bleak outline of what they thought the consequences could be for the british economy if no deal is done. i mean, christine lagard also said that all forms of brexit with volleys—mac world worse than staying in. that was a footnote. the main thrust is no deal would be a disaster which is a red rag to a ball for the conservative backbenchers who are obsessing that we should leave no matter what and, actually, as distant a relationship as possible with the eu is what they want. philip hammond, unfortunately seems to have gone much further than number ten would have wanted him to do because they still have this idea that it do because they still have this idea thatitis do because they still have this idea that it is a sort of negotiating tactic to pretend the uk in some ways going to walk away from the table and this fine about having no deal so he's let the cat out of the

ona children and young people watch tv on a tablet or a phone and they don't differentiate between the bbc, itv, sky, the regulated and unregulated bids, it is all the same to them, coming at them. sharon white, i've never met a regulator who once less power but she wants to expand her agreement to include all of the internet which is a good idea, you can see why she wants it, but more regulation could be a bad thing. what do you think? are you a free internet person? unregulated? it is very interesting voices in the uk are starting to say this because it is and in keeping with the british free—speech tradition. for example one of the things she suggesting is targets to be said for how quickly and effectively internet companies would remove offensive posts. that's something that's already happened in germany, the german government change the law so they would come down hard and head companies like facebook with big fines if they didn't take down post
