Claiming Morgan Stanley relocating to Dublin after Brexit
Inciting the country towards hatred, divisiveness and hostility by constantly referring to the Brexit vote being made purely due to immigration. Since the beginning of the Referendum in the UK the BBC has continually reported the news in a biased fashion towards the Remain Campaign, and since the Brexit vote they continue to report a very divisive view of Brexit.
