a valid defence of the vote leave campaign. it lacks critical thinking and intersectionality at points but it was reading as it takes an uncompromising and critical view of the remain campaign. while I may not agree with the authors opinions I have learned much about the brexit campaigns and referendum. and it has helped me solidify my position upon the topic

Difficult to take this book seriously when there are chestnuts like, “having an empire had not been the source of Britain’s power and wealth.”

I ate this up. As a remain voter , I was interested in the other point of view. This book, with so many fascinating facts and a wide-ranging perspective, changed my mind.
