Summary 'The British people have made a very clear decision.' David Cameron</br></br>On June 23, Britain was rocked by a political earthquake: the nation had voted to leave the European Union. Within hours the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, had resigned, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was facing calls to do the same and the pound was in freefall.</br></br>'The sensation was really like... dropping into quicksand and realising that there was nothing and nobody that could actually pull you out of it.' Craig Oliver, Former Prime Ministerial media adviser</br></br>The result left many shocked to the core, but as this film captures, voters had been sending signals for months.</br></br>'It's about time England took England back, you know? They don't call us Great Britain for nothing, do they?' British voter</br></br>The referendum campaign had become a lightning rod for disenchantment and distrust aimed at the financial and political 'elites'.</br></br>'Go back to London with all your yuppie friends.' British voter</br></br>In the aftermath of the vote, this film from the BBC charts the tactics and spin employed by both sides of the campaign
