Cameron says David Icke-style conspiracy on EU ref is nonsense; Icke Responds

Cameron: There is no ‘David Icke-style conspiracy’ to keep Britain in the EU

Speaking in France this afternoon, the Prime Minister compared some of the arguments used by those backing Brexit with conspiracy theories peddled by former professional footballer turned conspiracy theorist David Icke.

It comes as France’s economy minister warned that Calais would no longer be stopped from crossing the Channel into the UK if Britain voted to break ties with Brussels.

Mr Cameron said: “Of course you can say this is all some giant conspiracy, some sort of David Icke’s style sort of you know … It is just nonsense”.

President Hollande backed up his British counterpart by warning that “there will be consequences” if the UK breaks ties with Brussels.

He said: “I don’t want to scare you, I just want to tell the truth. There will be consequences if Britain leaves the EU.”
