Some very questionable leaps of logic in their arguments, not to mention some ludicrous "facts" such as the Russian economy being in better shape than the Uk / European.one.
And pinning the current mess on the "ruling elite" washes away whatever little credibility was left in the argument.

That said - debate and public discourse is rarely a bad thing, and there probably are sides to the story that have been given little public airtime. I doubt however that they would move the needle on where we are, or what the "right thing to do" is.
