UK dragging its heels? No, it's just Barnier doesn't like the answers.

Why does the BBC appear to continually take the side of the EU?   

Take the headline tonight:  Brexit bill: Barnier gives UK two weeks to clarify key issues”.  It’s as if Barnier is the one saying the important thing.  The difinitive position.  Talking as if the UK doesn’t have a positon.  As if all the failure is on the UK side.   

Take the UK borders on the island of Ireland between The Republic and Ulster.  Barnier keeps saying the UK has to come up with a solution.  It has, it’s just that Barnier doesn’t like it.   

Similarly on citizens of EU member countries living in the UK.  Barnier keeps saying the UK has to come up with a solution.  It has, it’s just that Barnier doesn’t like it.   

Or on the so called Divorce payment.  Divorce is of course is a ridiculous way to describe leaving a club.  Again, Barnier keeps saying the UK has to come up with a solution.  It has, it’s just that Barnier doesn’t like it.   

So all the blame the BBC headline suggests is to be laid at the door of the UK.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  But when did that stop the BBC form spinning a pro EU angle on a story.
