Yellowhammer document released: but title changed and no15 redacted

[fillyboy]

The Telegraph is the SUN in a pin striped suit.

They would rather keep a key advertiser in HSBC happy then cover their tax issues.

The coverage of HSBC in Britain's Telegraph is a fraud on its readers. If major newspapers allow corporations to influence their content for fear of losing advertising revenue, democracy itself is in peril.

Yesterdays Telegraph front page was illuminating in its lack of coverage of what has transpired for Bojo.

You link to 'open democracy' who's lead story is Who's behind the ‘dark money’ bankrolling our politics?,.
A cursory glance at google shows 'open democracy' is linked to the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation who bankroll 'open society' and from there the name George Soros magically starts to appear.

So, a hard left organisation with questionable motives criticizes a right wing newspaper for having questionable motives.

So you didnt read the article that was written by Oborne himself.

You are so clueless its boggles the mind.

the name George Soros

filly is curiously attracted to mentioning that Hungarian Jewish emigre who is now a US citizen and philanthropist..

What is it about George that attracts filly's hostility?

Could it be the philanthropy?

 

[EFLImpudence]

From another thread:

"it took 16 days for a Christian to visit him."
why did he say that?
does he have some secret sympathy for Christianity?

From this thread?

filly is curiously attracted to mentioning that Hungarian Jewish emigre who is now a US citizen and philanthropist..

Strange incongruity is it not?

 

[fillyboy]

So you didnt read the article that was written by Oborne himself.

I did actually, and far more besides. Try it sometime.

So, a hard left organisation with questionable motives

Oh dear, poor old Fillyboy wrong again.
I am so sorry, it must be distressing for you.


Opem democracy:
These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information, but may require further investigation.
Factual Reporting: HIGH

openDemocracy’s mission statement asserts: “openDemocracy is committed to human rights and democracy. We aim to ensure that marginalised views and voices are heard. We believe facilitating argument and understanding across geographical boundaries is vital to preventing injustice”. openDemocracy has a left bias in reporting and political affiliation, however all articles are well sourced and evidence based. The evidence based reporting helps balance the progressive bias and therefore we rate this source Left-Center. Special note: some articles do swing far left, but others are balanced so one must judge on a per article basis. (D. Van Zandt 3/23/2017)

Whereas the Telegraph is very biased:

The U.K’s independent fact checker, Full Fact, has found several false claims by The Telegraph.

Overall, we rate the The Telegraph Right Biased based on story selection that strongly favors the right and Mixed for factual reporting due to poor sourcing of information and some failed fact checks. (7/19/2016) Updated (M. Huitsing 2/11/2019

Whats the link? Or we going down another rabbit hole.

Peter Oborne of the Telegraph criticised it, but obviously sillyboy that doesn't chime with your view.

Yellowhammer document sets out potential damage of no-deal Brexit

Government foresees possible days-long delays at ports and shortages of food, medicine and fuel


https://www.ft.com/content/dc8053e4-d4c8-11e9-a0bd-ab8ec6435630

"A no-deal Brexit would mean delays at Dover, widespread protests, travel disruption and potential shortages of food, medicines and fuel under the worst-case scenario laid out in the government’s official “Operation Yellowhammer” plan.

Ministers finally released the controversial documents at close to 8pm on Wednesday night after months in which they had fought to keep them secret.

Just hours earlier, business secretary Andrea Leadsom said it would be a mistake to publish the documents because they would only “concern” people.

“I actually do not think that it serves people well to see what is absolutely the worst thing that could happen,” she said.

"The paper, marked “official sensitive”, predicted passenger delays at the Eurostar terminal at St Pancras and at Dover with disruption on transport services.

Fuel distribution could be hit in London and the south-east while panic buying could spread to other parts of the country.

It suggested that medical supplies would be “particularly vulnerable to severe extended delays” given that three-quarters of medicines come via the Dover-Calais route. Any disruption to medicines for vets could lead to disease outbreaks.

The document admitted that the government might not be able to calculate the full impact on the supply chain for food and agriculture: “Certain types of fresh food supply will decrease,” it says. “There is a risk that panic buying will cause or exacerbate food supply disruption.”

While water supplies could feel the effect of a failure in the chemical supply chain, the likelihood was considered low and the impact would be in terms of hundreds of thousands of people rather than millions."

Other hurdles could include disruption to cross-border UK financial services, problems with the flow of personal data from the EU, delays to some insurance payments from UK insurers into the EU, and disruption to law-enforcement data and information-sharing with the bloc.

There is a risk that panic buying will cause or exacerbate food supply disruption

Naomi Smith, chief executive of Best for Britain — a group campaigning against Brexit — said the documents were “terrifying”.

The documents have been forced out of the government after months of ministers refusing to release them into the public eye."


"The document also suggests there could be damage to adult social care providers due to increasing staff and supply costs: “It may lead to provider failure.”

Michael Gove, Cabinet Office secretary, had previously dragged his heels in publishing the details of Operation Yellowhammer.

"Plans to publish the document a week ago were pulled after ministers at the regular “XO cabinet committee” in charge of no-deal Brexit planning decided that publishing the findings — even a watered-down version — would alarm the public."

Uk leaving EU ...simple..live with it.

UK is in the EU

Dum thinks he can't live with it.

Who checks the independent fact checkers facts.

 

[JohnD]

Not really, your own posts confirms what I said right and left.

An actual lie! On the front page of the Torygraph!

Claim
Boris Johnson has the support of more than half of the public to deliver Brexit by any means, including suspending Parliament, according to a poll.

Conclusion
Incorrect. The poll showed that 44%, not a majority, agreed with the statement. There are also other problems with the poll.

And the lie was calculated to falsely inflate support for Buffoon and for Brexit! Who could have seen that coming?*




*me, for one.

So, a hard left organisation with questionable motives criticizes a right wing newspaper for having questionable motives.

the use of terms such democracy, human rights , equality by organisations like open democracy are cynically used to give a psychological advantage over anyone who dares to criticizes them.
After all giving your organisation a title like Open Democracy and a pompous "mission statement" claiming you are dedicated to ridding the world of injustice, means ergo anyone who questions your motives is anti democratic, racist ect.
