Or was that more fake stuff from the Brexit camp to excuse their jingoism?
It's been said long before Brexit.
Not everything can be linked or traced to Brexit.
Not sure why those who voted remain try and put a dig in where possible, what it brings to the conversation, nor what the person who said it is trying to say.
People who are deeply remain have been stamping their feet for two years. It's boring now.
I'm a bit surprised this sort of thing can happen.
If I have a private company and I want to merge with another, surely that's a private matter - nothing for governments to get involved with? Yes, I get it stops companies becoming too big but with the likes of Apple, Google, Sky and Amazon, I think it's a bit too late for that.
The EU forces Microsoft to split Media Player (?) and Internet Explorer (?) from their OS because "it wasn't fair", but I don't see this happening with companies like Facebook, who can gobble up as many messaging systems as they want.
