Although David Cameron is said to be planning to scare the nation into staying in the EU, others in the in-camp think they can win voters over with the good. Britain Stronger in Europe have today sent out an optimistic press release revealing a key reason Britons ought to choose to remain in the EU: they can now watch BBC iPlayer abroad!
‘Brits are to gain access to UK streaming services while travelling in Europe following a decision by MEPs today,’ the email reads. To celebrate European Parliament approving a proposal which allows UK holidaymakers in the EU to access shows like EastEnders and Strictly Come Dancing abroad, Stronger In spokesman James McGrory — who is Nick Clegg’s former spad — has released a statement:
‘This is great news for Brits going on holiday in Europe this year, especially being able to watch programmes like Match of the Day or Strictly while sitting by the pool.
He then goes onto tie it in with the general Britain Stronger in Europe message:
Britain is stronger, safer and better off in Europe.
