What I saw were two ladies who had the gist of one aspect of what is happening but were not articulate enough to voice it. 
Reading some of the arrogant bastards who commented on the interview, below the video, sums up, to me, the view the vast majority of Remainers have of all those who wanted to leave the EU.  Remarkably similar to those views expressed on here, in fact.

What I saw was two ladies who had no idea what the EU does, what our Government does, who decides what or which bits of EU legislation everybody needs, appreciates and takes for granted. Really sad, but the fact is that our role in the EU is/was complex and the video demonstrates the difference between selling a complex argument with pros and cons and selling a catchphrase - a difference that has been fully exploited by populists globally and Cummings in the UK in particular.

I have no doubt if you had the time and patience to speak to either of these ladies, they would probably know more than they are able to say in a small soundbite, and lets be honest, do all of us know all that's been going on, and if we did, could we tell the world in a couple of minutes or less?

Were out now and can set our own standards.

Why would we not wish to meet minimum standards?

Presumably the Tory thinking is if we lower standards there is more profitability for their mates.

Ha ha, your anti-government posts are becoming more desperate by the day.

And by the way, will you please learn to cut copy and paste.
