Amazing what is not reported in the news.

In my last blog earlier today I noted the results of the British Attitudes Survey in relation to taxation.  Very helpfully can read all about it here on the BBC web site. “British Attitudes Survey: More Britons 'back higher taxes.”

It interesting the media has focused on this 48%.    

By the time the EU referendum was over, the same study explains that, post voting to the leave the EU, Britain is more Eurosceptic than ever.  Indeed, the number of people who think we should leave the EU has nearly doubled and as many as three in four voters (75%) felt that Britain should either leave the EU or that if it stayed the institution’s powers should be reduced. 

That really is an extraordinary finding.

Funny that the BBC so prominently reports one part of the findings of the British Attitudes Survey but not others.  Wonder why?
