Just watch how there aren't any assholes interrupting her, or spouting talking points to change the subject.
She is offered all the time to state a very cogent and easily digestible summary of the issue.
Appearing on the BBC program Question Time from Northern Ireland, a Belfast teen in the audience cut through all the nonsense surrounding the UK's disastrous decision to leave the EU, and laid the blame squarely at the feet of inept and cowardly politicians. 16-year-old Amelia's response has since gone viral and viewed millions of times around the world.
The kids are alright. It's the adults you have to watch.
