Bad reviews for pro EU video

A video advert aimed at encouraging young people to vote for the UK to remain in the EU has been described as "patronising," and a "disaster" on social media.

The advert - released by the official Remain campaign, Britain Stringer in Europe - shows young people dancing in a night club, drinking wine outside a bar and skydiving.

The captions, which imitate slang, describe people as "ravin," chatin" and "shoppin", and advise them they should be "votin".

The Remain campaign insists the video will warn younger voters of what they would miss if Britain leaves the EU.

Paul Moss spoke to some young people in London, who were unimpressed.
