Good article on this from Marina Hyde:
So: Bulgaria bad, England good? Actually this is not as black and white as it seems
It was not that long ago Raheem Sterling was being vilified by sections of English press and supporters, and hypocrisy has been rife since Monday’s debacle in Sofia...
More details on vested interests. Didn't know about the head of the Today show but it's not surprising :(

Here's a video about where Bruno is from and his career before joining the Albion. It was made towards the end of 2014, so it also talks quite a bit about his feelings at the time for Brighton, the football club and the place. Further confirmation, not that any is needed, of what a great person...
Who knows when he is or isn't out of earshot? He's developed a knack fate (that's what it might be called, apparently) while working in bars, which is a way of listening in on conversations. That's what I heard.
That's great you're so optimistic, but it also shows you're not very well equipped to vote on matters affecting the country's future; blind faith in the UK govt's ability to "carve our future", as you put it, is not a strategy I agree with.

This was also pointed out in a recent piece by David Mitchell, who said
"As the Boaty McBoatface saga shows, you can’t always bow to a snapshot of...
The one I'd be closest to is the second; I'm not really a hipster and live nowhere near Shoreditch, but I do believe in giving due care and attention to political beliefs, and who doesn't give proper thought to which shoes to buy? Do you think there's something wrong with being careful and...
Indeed.
"I understand the motives of those who voted to leave the European Union: it can – as I well know – be very frustrating. Nonetheless, after weighing its frustrations and opportunities, there is no doubt in my own mind that our decision is a colossal misjudgment that will diminish both...

I think lots more people would vote Green if there was PR, but instead of voting for what they think is best...
