1) @Owenjones84 is complaining that he's being "yelled at" over his comments during a piece on Arron Banks being referred to National Crime Agency for possible illegal #Brexit funding.
Judge for yourself
here's his defense:

@OwenJones84 2) here is the clip
He laughs off the impact of Twitter and says it's "ludicrous" that people were influenced.
You can judge if the viewer would glean from this "but of course social media campaigns, including Vote Leave ones, *do* influence people"

@OwenJones84 3) he also widens the issue from the focused one of: "did £8M of potentially Russian money influence the Ref?" to the wider issue of "historical big money in politics has always been an issue"
Again you can judge if this is useful in the current context

@OwenJones84 4) specifically, he was asked "does £8M of potentially illegal russian sourced money call into question the legitimacy of the referendum?"
One would assume that's a fair question, @OwenJones84 clearly ridicules that particular assertion

@OwenJones84 5) Finally, by broadening the issue @owenjones84 sets up the Spiked right winger to say at the end of the clip "Remain spent more money"
Which isn't the issue, the issue is the source (and timing) of Bank's £8M donation

@OwenJones84 6) so considering those points, does Jone's defence stand up?
Has he helped or hindered the debate around the Bank's donation? Has he highlighted or undermined the WW issue of fake news in political campaigns? Has he acted against or positively for the leave lies in the ref?
End
