Michel Barnier told a French newspaper that in the event of a no deal Brexit it was possible UK planes would be unable to land in the EU and people would be unable to take care and dogs across the Channel as reported quite accurately by The Sun (HERE). The Sun said:
Speaking after the sixth round of Brexit talks this week produced little movement from either side, the EU boss warned that a failure to get to a deal would have "consequences on multiple domains" such as "the ability of British planes to land in Europe... or on dogs or cats to cross the Channel."
But at The Telegraph it was reported slightly differently (HERE). They omitted all mention of planes being unable to land, preferring to keep their readers in the dark about the much more serious consequence and laying it on thick about the cats and dogs. They even got a few words from Where's Wally look alike and ever-ready rent-a-quote Jacob Rees-Mogg saying Barnier had lost all credibility.
It's a bit surprising that The Sun is more accurate than the Telegraph which misled readers by omission. Both pro Brexit newspapers played it all down as if it was a joke. Pet owners might not be so amused in April 2019 and Telegraph readers who need to fly to Europe may not laugh quite as loud. The Sun describing it all as ludicrous. We shall see. The moment of truth is getting closer.
Note that only The Telegraph carries this and only to keep its readers happy in the deluded belief that Brexit will enrich us all.
