Last night the BBC finally decided that it was time that the great British public was given some actual facts about the EU referendum instead of the usual ding-dong political head to head style shouting match. In The Big EU Reality Check, they claimed they would “get to the facts behind the claims in the EU referendum campaign” and the presenter, former political editor Nick Robinson, did a fair job, up to the point where he suggested that voters may need to “rely on your gut” in order to make your decision.
Whatever you do, don’t rely on truthiness to get you through this EU referendum. Watch the video and arm yourself with the facts – then decide.
