I like how the trailer seems to make "mobilizing more voters" seem like some sort of great conspiracy. Very British. ;)
Really?
That seemed conspiratorial to you?
Just looked like one side made more effort to utilise social media than the other to me.

I've always been more of a cock up rather than conspiracy person though.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

So have I. I am talking about the way that:
one side made more effort to utilise social media than the other
..gets depicted in that trailer. That's what I am referring to when I say they make it seem like a conspiracy. It's clear who the "bad guys" are.

Well that was never really in doubt. Deliberate lies and misinformation are not the good guy way to conduct a campaign.

Most of what I saw was just speculation about what went on behind closed doors in campaign offices.
More fiction than fact but BC's character (Domenic Cummings) seemed to be the hero of the piece to me.
I will try again to watch it all at some point but I didn't find it a good watch last time I tried despite looking forward to it because after all the hype.

Britain get its balls back yet, or are you all still floundering around and hand wringing like a bunch flustered spinsters?

Who has an update, because I got bored of this story after the vote hit the 2-year mark an y'all still hadn't done shit.

Dude, just leave the EU already and bring back Victorian/Steampunk Britain.
It's the only Britain anyone else cares about.

Bounce out of that Eurotrash organization, reduce your carbon footprint by converting everything to steam or clockwork power, and replace all your street lights with gas lamps.

Tourism will more than make up for your economic losses, and people will actually think you're cool again.

Do you actually want a serious answer or is this just another bash the Brit exercise?

Just bashing.
We all know the score ... you’ve gone nowhere and your puppet masters are hoping to forestall the will of the people until they can overturn it.

It’s going to end up with a “no deal” hard exit, which was the best possible outcome (for Nationalists).
