Briferendum Series: Beckham against Brexit

Former football superstar and captain of England, David Beckham backed the “Remain” camp today to the delight of the remaineers. Beckham is the UK’s most prominent and popular football star, who still followed by many.

In addition to that, it is how he explained his stance is surely going to make a difference. In a statement issued today, he said how he arrived at the decision and that is through football. He cited examples of the success of Manchester United. He said the core team that won English and European titles had been made up of British players but, “we were a better and more successful team because of a Danish goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel, the leadership of an Irishman Roy Keane and the skill of a Frenchman in Eric Cantona”

He also said that we live in a vibrant and connected world where together makes it strong.

A happy Cameron responded via Twitter saying that he is happy to see Beckham supporting to remain and he said, “David Beckham is clear: we should be facing the problems of the world together and not alone”.

In recent days “Remain” camp started gaining traction as people like Mr. Beckham supports the 'Remain' camp in a  more beautiful way of cohesiveness rather than scaremongering.

The pound has been rising this week and currently trading at 1.475 against Dollar.
