Stephen Fry’s made a video busting the myths behind Brexit and he totally nails it
The great Stephen Fry has made a video called ‘Brexit, facts vs fear’ and it went viral because he absolutely nails it.
He busts a whole bunch of myths behind the argument for Brexit, taking in Nigel Farage, Katie Hopkins, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Donald Trump and more stats than you can shake a referendum at.
‘This is the story of how a mythical EU dragon was conjured up and the striking truth behind it all.
A trick of forced perspective put fear in the way of facts.’
It’s well worth 11 minutes of your time.
Here’s how he introduced it on Twitter.
So the second referendum was all Jacob Rees-Mogg's idea! You can see him introduce it to parliament here in the little film we've made that we hope separates real fact from real fear in this vexed issue tearing our poor nation apart… https://t.co/n4WBLtjMdX

Except someone had a question.
How much did this production cost, how much were you paid and who provided the funding?

Much as many might want to believe that it was produced by a cabal of deep state jewish lizards, it was done in house by Pindex and I was paid nothing!
