Review of Brexit

Brexit (2019 TV Movie)
6/10
Unleashing the Devil
9 January 2019
Too late to reminisce on how the referendum was run, and who is to be blamed for what, but the result is going to be widespread.

The leavers got the upper hand with a gullible public, with citizens not knowing the reason, value and benefits of EU membership in the early 1970's, which happened before most of them were born. Taking back control sounds good in a slogan and any unhappiness can then easily be blamed on this membership, true or not. The leavers campaign was cleverly run, but morally it unleashed the devil, with no one now being able to predict the ultimate outcome. Britain will have to reinvent itself with no experience in how to do this.

This saga has not yet been concluded, but time is running out. March 2019 is just weeks ahead.

The film started off very slowly and dull, but eventually covered the campaign as it unfolded. Dominic Cummings shifts responsibility and blames the people for it not going according to plan. An admission that he didn't expect the leavers to win?
