Fake news about the EU has been around for many years

Delegates at last week’s Oxford Farming Conference said they would vote 60% in favour of remaining in the EU, if there was a second Brexit referendum. However, the Theresa May exit deal would be favoured by 30%, while 10% would opt for “leave with no deal”.

The audience at the conference was also asked how they voted in the EU referendum, and 24% said they voted leave, 76% voted for remain. Asked if Brexit would be a good or bad thing, five years on, 60% said ‘Bad’, 40% said ‘Good’. And Brexit over the next 25 years? ‘Good’, said 74%; ‘Bad’ said 26%.
