Why should we listen to Mike Leigh rant about Brexit?

Another well-heeled luvvee who knows better than the working class people he patronises in his dreadful films. Mike Leigh, then, in an interview from the Nonexistant, I mean Independent:

Cut to Brexit,” he continues. “Some boneheads might say; ‘Hang on a minute, we’ve got the vote now and 52 per cent [voted to leave the EU]…’. But what role did the truth play in people’s decision to vote Brexit? And to what extent has real truthfulness motivated what’s gone on since, politically? I go to Cornwall quite a lot, and there were huge signs saying ‘vote leave’, and I talked to intelligent, working people [who were] saying: ‘No, we’ve got to get out of Europe.’ And then you get out of the train at Liskeard and there’s a thing on the wall saying: ‘The European Union funded the restoration of this.’ The farmers down there get massive handouts from the EU. So that’s what we’re talking about when we talk about truth.”

Yeah I bet you go to Cornwall a lot. Nice cottage. Dinner every night at Rick Stein’s. Absolute idiot. Anyone remember how good was Abigail’s Party and Nuts In May? Wonderful little films. All the humour now expunged from the man – the only thing which made him worthwhile. He now knows better than everybody else and is far too grand to make an entertainment which is actually funny. Go on, Mikey. Next time get off the train at Liskeard and swim. Swim for the Scilly Isles, or Nantucket.
