Academics are so precious these days.
Like a lot of people who attain celebrity status they start to believe they have somehow risen above us mere mortals.
You might know a lot about the cosmos Brian but you know bugger all about people
He thinks he knows about the cosmos.
I imagine more people care about politics than care about the cosmos
To say that it's not important to us just shows how ignorant and patronising he is. A PhD might imply that he is clever in his particular field but it doesn't mean that he is intelligent. Quite the contrary; I think that he, literally, has had his head in the clouds too long.
I'm sorry to say that he's a very patronising man, very self important. Typical mid range celeb really.
I think @ProfBrianCox may be misinformed about the potential costs of Brexit. If memory serves me right, he shared this fake graphic last year, along with a well-known author & an Olympic cyclist.

Love the remain box, no job losses, wonder if they knew about the FTA With Japan and reshoring the 3500 UK jobs when they wrote it
The Eu would have had a FTA with Japan even if we were still in and we would've still lost jobs.
You do not hold opinions. You merely say whatever you believe will most effectively outrage and feed prejudice. More people should emulate Briancox.
The problem with most academics like Cox is they don't understand that everyone's vote was worth the same as theirs. Yes, when asked, MORE voters expressed a preference to leave the EU. But that's not as important to Coxers as their slavish worship of an undemocratic edifice.
This undemocratic stuff is just bullshit. You have European elections - vote in them. Did you vote for anyone in the House of Lords? Nope. It’s so lazy.
Did you vote for the European Commission? No? Are they the proposers of legislature? Yes. Are the Lords the proposers? No. They are SUBSERVIENT to the elected members. Laziness is accepting THAT bullshit.
Who votes on the legislation? The elected MEPs. Laws don’t pass without our voted representatives agreeing. You cannot say that we have laws foisted on us by unelected bureaucrats. To suggest otherwise is extremely misleading.
You don't disagree with my comments about the Commissioners then... because it's true. And every UK MEP could vote against legislation and still have it pass into UK law. Vetoes aren't universal. I find that infinitely less representative than the existing UK system. 1/2
I've had this same discussion a thousand times, so it's pointless to continue as you won't change your view (fair enough) and I'm satisfied that my interpretation of the information is correct. Also fair enough. So let's not waste each other's time, eh?
Good luck with Brexit. You’ll need it.
