Was the DYK accurate?
I suppose it's too late now that it's already up, but based on everything about Gapes' feelings towards Brexit in general, helping form a political party with basically the sole goal of overturning Brexit, what he said in the Bailey's speech being that Brexit would hinder that unity needed to create Bailey's, and even how it was reported on at the time, wasn't it a very anti-Brexit speech rather than pro-Brexit as mentioned in the DYK?

 * DYK? Also we do not say it was pro-Brexit.Slatersteven (talk) 15:50, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
 * The DYK was initially inaccurate. It was previously mentioned as pro-Brexit in the DYK on the front page. Entirely my fault as I wrote that in the hook (see above) – pure typo on my part and I can only apologise. I think I meant to write 'pro-EU' or 'anti-Brexit' and came up with... the exact opposite of what I meant. I did realise as soon as I saw my notification for the DYK that it was inaccurate (I somehow missed it throughout the rest of the process!) but by then the damage had been done. —AFreshStart (talk) 16:35, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
