Listen to the nice man.
Brexiteers like Michael Gove who dismissed expert warnings "probably don't understand" the evidence and have reacted in a knee-jerk fashion, David Attenborough has said. In a video interview with Greenpeace's investigative and news platform, Unearthed, the 91-year-old broadcaster and naturalist compared Brexit to "spitting in each other's faces" and called the referendum "an abrogation of parliamentary democracy" because of a lack of facts.
He repeated his claim - first made in 2016 - that the government had subverted parliamentary democracy by leaving EU membership to be decided by a referendum. “The decision to call a referendum was an abrogation of parliamentary democracy in my view because we didn’t know the facts," he said. Attenborough acknowledged he wasn't an economist, but said: "Philosophically I would rather the people embrace one another than spat in one another’s face.”
