Total Awesomeness: 16-Year-Old Belfast Teen Cuts All The Brexit Bullshit In Devastating Fashion

.


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.

"I don’t know, her answer was very long and seemed rehearsed, and it’s what the establishment wants - to remain. I don’t trust the #BBC at all. It is a propaganda machine pushing government’s agenda."

Unsaid by the nincompoop is how the government's agenda mirrors the establishment's desire to remain in the EU. May's government is straining mightily to achieve Brexit, it just doesn't know how or what or why. It's like the dog that finally caught one of the cars it chases.

Watched it on Thursday.... NI kids are the most articulate ever. They have has to be - they have grown up in a land of words over violence.
