EU Referendum: The deed is done

As to how it was done, the technique was fairly simple and direct. First paint a picture of Armageddon, and agree that this is real and has to be taken seriously. Then pick "mad" climate sceptic – enter Monckton – and build him up as representing the entire sceptic case. Go through the charade of exploring his views, refer to grave scientists who say this loon is a loon, "reluctantly" agree and conclude that the scientists must be believed. Game over.
