I don’t know the guy (the comedian, not Portillo ) but my point was more about how some seemingly large chunks of society view social media posts as “the truth”. Anyone can post any old rubbish, tailoring it to suit their own agenda. It’s best to be cautious and take most of it as a moulded version of reality. Of course, this applies to all forms of communication... compare and contrast whatever you read or hear with other sources.

This sounds like I am suggesting that one should never believe anything. Probably not a bad approach .

Sadiq Khan to commission his OWN papers to study impact of Brexit

Sadiq Khan today announced he is commissioning his own Brexit impact papers for London after David Davis admitted that the Government’s did not exist.

The Mayor said that nine key sectors, including financial services and the creative industries, would be assessed by independent experts.

The reports, to be published next month, will look closely at indicators such as economic output, employment and the knock-on effect for the rest of the UK.

It came amid growing confusion over the status of the Brexit Secretary’s own papers after he said that none had in fact been written.

Mr Khan criticised his “chaotic” approach and said his own reports, by independent experts Cambridge Econometrics, would help deliver a deal that protected London’s jobs and growth.

They will model five different departure scenarios, ranging from the status quo, through to a hard Brexit with no transition period.

Other sectors to be covered include construction, digital, life sciences, hospitality, culture, food and manufacturing, and science and technology.

He said: “It is outrageous that the Government either failed to properly consider the impact of Brexit on Britain’s economy, or are refusing to release their analysis.

“If it’s the former then I question their competence. If it is the latter then I question whether they have something to hide.

“We need to know the impact of different Brexit scenarios on our economy in order to deliver a Brexit deal that protects jobs and growth.”
