I've just looked at the BBC's dedicated Brexit news page
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/politics/uk_leaves_the_eu and I cannot find any mention of Jeremy Hunt's speech comparing the EU with the USSR.
"At the moment you, European friends, seem to think the way to keep the club together is to punish a member who leaves, not just with economic disruption, but even by breaking up the United Kingdom with a border down the Irish Sea…
"The EU was set up to protect freedom – it was the Soviet Union that stopped people leaving. The lesson from history is clear – if you turn the EU club into a prison, the desire to get out of it won't diminish, it will grow, and we won't be the only prisoner that wants to escape…"
Why would the EU supporting BBC be keeping this speech from the British public? The BBC is meant to be impartial!
Guido Fawkes has reported this speech
