‘BBC WAKES UP’ Twitter EXPLODES over ‘shocking’ After Brexit documentary on EU collapse

After Brexit: The Battle for Europe saw BBC Europe editor Katya Adler quiz EU chiefs and leading politicians on the future of the crumbling bloc.

The BBC, which has been accused of a pro-EU bias, was forced to admit the EU is in crisis in the hour-long documentary that trended on social media.

Ms Adler said: “The powerbrokers of Europe face an unprecedented challenge. For the EU this is a battle to survive. Brussels doesn’t exactly have a reputation for moving fast but something will have to give.

In the programme Martin Schulz, the former president of the European Parliament, admitted there was a “real risk” the EU will fall apart as populism rises.
