Quest over! If you're actually interested in understanding the reasons for Brexit and you should before making such comments, try this https://briefingsforbrexit.com https://briefingsforbrexit.com. Not recommended for those with a short attention span. "Briefings for Brexit is a small group of volunteers, mainly academics, who set up the website in 2017 in order to provide reasoned factual material to help to inform the national debate on Brexit. Most of its members did not previously know each other. The two co-editors are Graham Gudgin and Robert Tombs, both of Cambridge University. Its contributors come from a range of academic disciplines and universities, and cover the whole political spectrum: their names can be found on our website. The group has no links with any political party. Neither of the editors receives any payment, not do any of the contributors. The newsletter editor, a student, receives a small payment. Briefings for Brexit is entirely funded by well-wishers."

Would you say that this kind of small donation makes up the majority of their funding? Who are the large backers? So this is totally above board, unaligned and not paid for! /s
