«Breaking News» People's vote would be a disaster movie, says writer of Brexit TV drama

James Graham says people assume he is a ‘massively leftie, liberally, Remainy, 12-year-old-looking playwright’, but the man behind tomorrow night’s highly anticipated Brexit TV drama has delighted Leave supporters by criticising calls for a second referendum.

Channel 4’s Brexit: The Uncivil War, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, has surprised critics with its even-handed portrayal of the 2016 poll.

And speaking ahead of its screening, Mr Graham, 37, says he is not looking for a re-run, describing the last bout as ‘toxic’ and ‘traumatic’.

James Graham (pictured above) said that Britain wouldn't be able to take another referendum

‘I just don’t think we would survive going through that exercise again,’ he said.

‘We can’t do that again, no matter what we do.’

Mr Graham insists he is ‘not blaming one side or the other’, but believes ‘Leave, Remain, the public and politicians did not conduct themselves in quite the best way’.

And he called for massive reform of the electoral process if questions of that magnitude are ever to be put directly to the public in the future.

Tomorrow night’s 90-minute drama focuses on how Vote Leave’s eccentric but brilliant campaign guru Dominic Cummings, played by Cumberbatch, blew up the Downing Street-led Remain campaign, pioneered by David Cameron’s spin doctor Sir Craig Oliver. Sir Craig is played by Rory Kinnear.

But in a further blow to those who have declared the referendum was hijacked by Vote Leave’s use of sophisticated data to target adverts at certain groups of voters, Mr Graham scotched the conspiracy theories, saying: ‘Remain were doing it as well.’ He added: ‘The use of data is not an exclusively Right-wing thing, or conservative thing, or Leave thing. [Barack] Obama was the guy who nailed this first.

‘I don’t want the film to suggest – because I don’t believe this is true – that data used to target messages is manipulative. It’s what people have always done. It is not about changing people’s minds – it’s about finding people already sympathetic to that view and getting them to vote.

‘I hope we don’t suggest it is anything close to manipulation.’

Mr Graham said he was not hopeful that his drama will unite the warring factions or please everyone, adding: ‘People will come to it with their own baggage.’

Channel 4’s Brexit: The Uncivil War, ...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
