As usual, posting it before I've watched it.

Did his previous video actually make any good points?
Apart from pointing out how the Treasury had conducted a kind of shitty analysis? Eh, I don't remember. My head is full of the information from Bootle's book, which I still have to fucking finish before tomorrow.

Handily he has an entire section on the potential consequences for leaving; I may post some of it later on tonight.

I'm not very familiar with the guy, but for someone whose whole thing seems to be reason and facts, he really does appear to be very selective and one-sided with what he talks about and seems rather biased towards the Leave side.
Yeah. I want to say he used to be better, but maybe I'm just getting disillusioned with him. That said, he has a known history of being pro-Brexit. Maybe that's clouding his ability to reason about it properly.

Is it outspokenly pro-Leave?
The book focuses on the issues with the EU, and on balance is Eurosceptic. I have no idea whether or not Bootle thinks we should leave, and he does discuss potential reforms to the Union which could improve it.

He's also not shy about pointing out where Eurosceptics and 'Kippers are usually wrong, and is more than happy to point out that the EU is being blamed for things that rightfully should be blamed on the incompetence of the British government.

I always thought this guy was supposed to be better than that.
As did I.

His point about a loophole comes from an article in The Times that doesn't detail what the potential loophole is. Surprisingly poor journalism on The Times's part.
