This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.
Please spread the word.

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries.
One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home.

I was lucky enough to be the last person to interview Dame Jilly Cooper for the Queens Reading Room last year. In honour of her memorial yesterday they have released the footage. It's as silly and funny and interesting as she always was. I hope you enjoy www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7qV...

The UK was better off in the EU and Europe was better off with the UK in it.
