Will this be a good or a bad thing for the UK?

A leak in a German newspaper suggests this won't be happening.

Looks like the 20% European quota proposal has gone through.

Interventions like this, in a Sovereign State, is completely ridiculous. There is absolutely no need for it. Britain should control Britain's TV and video consumption. Different countries have different tastes; that's how it should be --- it adds uniqueness to the cultural aspect of each country; something which should be celebrated. But the EU doesn't want uniqueness; harmonising cultural aspects makes further political and economic harmonisation easier. And that is the primary goal of the EU (from it's inception); a Federal States of Europe.

Hopefully people will see the real reasons behind moves such as this and reject the EU, on the 23rd of June.

I agree. 100% American programmes is what we need. Sod the British (European) production industry.
