::I don't expect anyone to "buy that video" in its entirety. But I think he made a good point about "Brexit - the movie": both sides of the campaign used dubious claims, fear mongering, and made promises (ehem, aspirations) well knowing that they couldn't keep them. "Brexit - the movie" is just one example - it was sloppily researched. They state that a pillow is subject to 109 EU regulations, while in reality they only show that their were 109 regulations using the word pillow, like a classification of breakfast cereals cut into pillow shapes, or "pillow ball joints", etc.

:::Sloppily researched is one way of putting it. Deliberatily mendacious is a much more accurate one. Many of the stories about EU regulations, such as the one about curved bananas, were simply invented by Boris Johnson whilst he was a Daily Telegraph writer. Johnson is an admitted plagarist, liar, adulterer and someone who is on tape conspiring to have a journalist assualted because he was investigating a friend of his (Darius Guppy) over a fraud that Guppy carried out. So far the pro-brexit campaign have backtracked on just about every single claim they made during the campaign. Whatever you think of the EU, and I oppose it on some issues and support it on others, the entire leave campaign has been based on lies, half-truths, distortions and racism. None of which I would like to think Conservapedia will support. [[User:Davidspencer|Davidspencer]] ([[User talk:Davidspencer|talk]]) 10:14, 28 June 2016 (EDT)
Agreed. Dubious claims were made on both sides.
