Farage:

“No I can’t [guarantee spending £350m on the NHS], and I would never have made that claim. That was one of the mistakes that I think the Leave campaign made,” he said just hours after the votes were counted.

Surprisingly Farage seems the least dishonest of the lot ...

and we haven't even started on the immigration claims yet ...

darn - image wont load

I do agree it was a lie but one that nobody believed and as such had no effect on the vote.

 

 

.

i too disagree 'that nobody believed' the lies, from personal input. from the chats have had with alot of folks who voted exit. one of their (most of them, but not all) main reasons was thinking that there wld be more domestic money available for the 'beloved' nhs from not having to 'pay' into the eu. one of the other being of course immigration (for whatever reason, but some of which were downright prejudiced/racist). combine the two (with lies), and there's the effect on the vote. but, they fell for the politics (significant lies).

as i posted before, the result is what it is. for me, given that the ref was only consultative (not binding) then the due process needed to follow after (which it did in the end thanks to the judiciary employing their constitutional check. despite the pretender May trying (ultra vires) otherwise (at huge public expense which cld have gone on other things). (just like Trump is trying, but is being checked by the courts...).

unfortunately, Parliament didnt do much to query things (only the Lords did, but they have no constitutional weight). maybe parliament, or things, might change.

It would seem you are definitively - mistaken.

Nearly half of Britons believe Vote Leave's false '£350 million a week to the EU' claim

You believe Ipsos MORI polls do you?

''Ipsos MORI’s final poll before the referendum on Britain’s membership of the European Union shows a tight race. The poll reveals among those most likely to vote and who say the result is important to them 52% will choose Remain while 48% will choose Leave''.

I voted remain

I imagine a lot of Leave voters are saying that now (the majority just ashamed they voted for a lie, although some might be hard core leave Trojan horses hoping to continue spreading disinformation and confusion),

and I imagine that many many more Leave voters are wishing they actually had voted Remain.
