Brexit lies

A lot has been said about the lies told in the referendum campaign. But since then there a whole load of things said in the generality which are patently untrue.

One that gets me is the 'No one voted to leave the single market'. Well all the main leaders of both Remain and Leave stated that a vote to leave the EU meant to leave the single market also.

Another one has popped up. 'No one voted to be poorer'. Well, the remain campaign was entirely focused on their preposition that a vote leave would make us all poorer, and yet despite these protestations of doom, we still voted Brexit. So, no, we put sovereignty and self-rule above the economy, i.e. we'd take being a little poorer for the right to Govern ourselves.

These things really annoy me!

Squiffy.
