obama_610x406“The BBC has shown outlandish pro-EU bias by accepting a €300,000 European Commission grant to air a sycophantic documentary of President Obama weeks before he visits London to spread a Remain message” says UKIP MEP Louise Bours. The last part of the 4 piece documentary is broadcast Tuesday 5th April.

 “By accepting 300,000 euro from the European Commission to help produce and air a ridiculously sycophantic documentary on President Obama, the BBC has shown its clear bias again on EU matters.

Bours, a member of the Culture Committee in the European Parliament said from Brussels today: “It is completely inappropriate of the BBC just months before a referendum to accept money from the Commission’s ‘Creative Europe’ programme to help produce a sickly documentary on Obama when it knows in advance he is coming here to campaign for a Remain vote.” 

“Coming hot on the heels of EU funded BBC mockumentary ‘Great European Disaster Movie’, it is clear the BBC has no shame, but at least this time, they displayed the EU logo in the credits.

"Speaking personally I find that many fine BBC journalists work in an honest and balanced fashion.  I regret to note that the BBC Bureau in Brussels however rarely asks UKIP MEPs for comment while Pro-EU pundits get frequently interviewed.

If Obama is so fond of the EU’s political union I wonder what the chances of him agreeing to let a Supreme Court Mexico has final say over US laws, and the American people agreeing a free movement deal with Mexico, and them having a common army with Colombia. That is what an EU equivalent in the Americas would be.”
