With Britain evenly split over Brexit, America-based British comedian John Oliver took up the job to explain the implications that will follow if Britain votes to exit from the EU.
Punching holes through the pro-leave arguments, Oliver said, “Unfortunately many of the Brexit debates are bullshit.”
Since the referendum date is set on 23 June, both the Pro-Leave and Pro-Remain factions have been carrying on unyielding campaigns, often overstating their arguments.
As a result, there is quite the confusion among the British regarding the pros and cons of such a move.
Correcting the factually incorrect claims of Former Mayor of London Boris Johnson, who’s been riding around a bus with a message that says that London sends £350 million to EU every week, Oliver said:
That number has been thoroughly debunked! It’s actually about £190 million a week when you consider a rebate the UK receives and other money that the EU sends back – on top of which, if Britain does leave the EU, it has to spend close to that amount just to access the common market.
