Since we had The Ministry of Leave a few weeks back, which was primarily Remain leaning, we now have the balanced view from a Leave voter. That's Iain Martin.
At least, I think that's the aim.
Instead, I'm not sure if this is satire. First up, we've got a company who want to increase the control of our waste management, perhaps to get away from the EU imposed "circular economy", which aims to maximise recycling and reuse. They would rather burn it. Definitely no problems there.
There's also a look into Prosperity UK, a consortium set up to look at how Brexit might be made a success. You'd think they'd have known what the use of it was before the referendum, wouldn't you?
Still, this programme managed to get hold of Michael Gove for a bit of a chat, and fair play to him, he's not a bad speaker. It's probably all bollocks, but he delivers it well. There are generally more heavy hitters in this programme than previous.
And the programme does try to hit a balance, with Martin asking reasonable questions to try and dig a little deeper. It's a shame that some of that deepness is mental though. One example is a leave voter who wants to see multiple year apprenticeships, rather than six month ones. (We have those already.) And they want to see Britain being self-sufficient, with our own people making things. As they sit in their nice warm house full of things made in China.
There's also fishing, an emotive issue where communities have felt the pinch of fishing quotas and the effect competition with continental fleets has.
Best craziness of the show though has to be Mark Littlewood, who in a single breath imagines a world in which everyone is self-employed, and also has saleable employment rights given to them by their employer. See, if your rights to paternity/maternity leave are enshrined in law, why shouldn't you be allowed to sell them back to your employer for money? What could possibly go wrong with a system that incentivises the lowest paid to skip having kids, while allowing the wealthy all the reproductive freedom they like?
At least there's a bit of fun with the SNP, who happily admit that Scotland needs immigration because people keep leaving.
Worth a listen, just to see what a pro-Brexit BBC really sounds like.
