This comment on biasedbbc.org https://biasedbbc.org/blog/2017/10/06/weekend-open-thread-165/#comments really struck a chord:

I looked up on google for the recipients of the eu money as opposed to those like us who pay in.
Poland gets about £15 billion a year.
Good for them.If Poland were to leave the eu does that mean they would receive £50-£100 billion (for future commitments of course) and that the eu would have to pay them maybe £10 billion a year to be able to trade with them.
Sounds ridiculous but it is perfect logic.
If Catalonia leaves Spain do they have to pay Spain tens of billions and then, depending on if they are receivers or payers to the eu, have to settle up with the eu as well.
How much would it cost Scotland to leave the UK if they vote to leave in their next referendum.
After centuries together…how many billions.
Or are we absolutely unique in that we are expected to give tens of billions to leave the eu and billions more to buy stuff from the eu.'
The sort of questions that will never be given space on the BBC where anti Brexit propaganda is spewed incessantly and without any shame. The BBC ceased to be impartial years ago but its support for the EU has lead it from partiality to campaigning and for that reason, amongst others, I detest it.
