The Great Intelligence Squared Brexit Debate

The Great Intelligence Squared Brexit Debate


This is debate between pro-remain campaigner Nick Clegg who has actually worked in Europe and a Labour MP, Gisela Stuart who heads up the Vote Leave campaign. The debate also contained 3 special experts on the economy, law and immigration plus a "Fact Checker", who is on hand to call out any BS arguments made by the panel.

The blurb on the video says:

In this major debate, we hosted former deputy prime minister Nick Clegg, who has long supported further European integration. Against him was Gisela Stuart, the Labour MP and chair of Vote Leave. No ‘little Englander’, she argued that BREXIT is the progressive choice. But this was a debate with a difference. As well as our two main advocates, there were three special experts – who shared the findings of their research on the economy, law and immigration.
In addition, there was a professional fact checker from Full Fact, an independent factchecking charity, who was on hand to resolve any disputed claim at the click of a button.


Did you find having a "Fact Checker" on hand during the debate helpful to clear up any bad arguments made by Nick or Gisela?

Are you going to cast your vote based on facts or emotions?

Would you consider yourself a little Englander for wanting to vote leave and if you want to stay does that mean you are 100% behind a Federal Europe or do you think it can be reformed from within so late in the day?

Who Really Rules Us?

Who Really Rules Us?


This is a BBC (UK State run TV channel), documentary on the EU by Jeremy Paxman. In it he looks at who really runs the EU and makes our laws.

The blurb on the video says:

As the EU referendum debate approaches its climax, Jeremy Paxman takes viewers on a journey to the heart of Europe, meeting the movers, shakers and anonymous faces who run the EU. His central question is simple - has the UK given the power to rule it to Europe, and if so, does it matter? Meeting crucial figures like Michael Gove and Nick Clegg, he hears arguments on both sides, whilst also trying to understand just how the incredibly complex organisation operates. On his journey he struggles through the Parliamentarian (an EU museum that tries to explain the place), tries on a replica of Margaret Thatcher's famous EU jumper and samples the EU-regulated wares of the Portobello Road.


Do you think anything from the BBC can be believed or do you see it as a state mouthpiece that is always going to be pro-EU whilst the government of the day wants us to remain in the EU?

Should Britain Leave The EU - Debate

Should Britain Leave The EU - Debate

This is the Spectator debate on whether or not Britain should leave the EU.

The debate is chaired by Andrew Neil and the panellists are split into two groups.

People persuading us for a BREXIT:

  • Dan Hannan
  • Nigel Farage
  • Kate Hoey

And the Better Together group who want us to remain in the EU:

  • Nick Clegg
  • Liz Kendall
  • Chuka Umunna
The question I want to know is where is David Cameron?

Surely as the Prime Minister of the UK and the person who has set up the referendum as well as the person who thought his "new deal" with the EU would prevent us from leaving. Surely he should be centre stage making the argument for us to stay and telling us how his "deal" will change our minds?



What do you think of the debate. Has it changed your point of view on whether to vote to leave the EU or to stay in?

Nigel Farage debating Nick Clegg at the Oxford Union over leaving the EU

Nigel Farage debating Nick Clegg at the Oxford Union over leaving the EU

This is part of a debate that took place at the Oxford Union over whether Britain should leave the EU.

There were many more participants than the two videos I have shown here but these are two of the more well known voices from either side of the BREXIT debate.

Watch Nigel Farage leader of UKIP discuss his reasons why the UK should leave the EU at the Oxford Union.



Watch Nick Clegg lay out his reasons in the same debate why Britain is better together with the EU.



Both Nick Clegg and Nigel Farage have worked at the EU either as MEP's.

They will take huge pensions when they retire long before us and whilst working at the EU they would have had big expense accounts to fund their job, hire help and so on.

This is one reason many people dislike the EU because of the amount of money wasted on MEP's and their allowances. Also its payments have been consistently found subject to significant error for the past 18 years.

Which argument did you find more convincing, Nick Cleggs or Nigel Farages?

Does the threat of Scotland and maybe Wales leaving the UK if we pull out of the EU make you want to vote for staying in the EU or do you think they have the right to independence anyway?

Will you vote with objectivity or use logic and facts when making your decision. This will affect you and your children for decades to come so I hope it's the latter!
