Look at the spun head line to discreaded brexit.
BBC News - Brexit shutdown slashes UK car production by 45%
[Link]
Then goes to say.
"Production for both home and overseas markets fell by 43.7% and 44.7% respectively."
"The stoppages in the factories have exacerbated a continuing slow down in the global car industry caused by the trade tensions between the US and China, uncertainties over the arrival of electric and self driving cars, and tougher environmental controls after the VW emissions scandal."
Didnt we have mass job cuts in the 80's when car factories closed down whilst in the EU and later rover closed down.
If Boris is going to court this should be considered bbc story should also.

3 lies.

Lie 1 - the figure.

Lie 2 - the NHS piece.

Lie 3 - dumbing down the entire topic by conflating a number which has many intangibles connected to it with domestic spending when they are totally unrelated, creating a false connection.

You haven't answered my question.

1. The figure - erm yeah it's out a bit but I've already explained this, it's somewhat a half truth.
Ill give you this one.

2. The NHS piece
We send the EU £350m a week
Let's fund our NHS instead
vote leave
It doesn't say give all 350m a week to the NHS although it's sensible to think that should we save x amount by leaving some of it can fund the NHS.
Its accurate enough.

3. Dumbing down the topic
Britain pays in more than it gets out, it's the side of a bus, what on earth do you expect to be printed on the side of a bus? Perhaps it should be covered in small print, would that make it more palatable?
Again nothing to see here.

The legal action is a grotesque waste of time & money, its been funded by hard Remainers who see anyone who doesn't conform to their npc hive mind as literal reincarnations of Hitler, ie. They should never be taken seriously.

Yup I saw the headline but when you read the article the two don't tally. That is not to say that the Brexit isn't isn't having an impact but you only have to look at worldwide car production to realise the main causes of the downturn.

Inevitably the paper are now investigating the person who brought the case against Boris. Like most of us he is not perfect, expect a few skeletons to fall out of his cupboard.

It has also been pointed out that Boris wasn't the only one using the £350million claim, a number of other high profile Leave politicians also did so why are they not being prosecuted as well?

They are still clutching at straws. Remainers are becoming a bit loathsome to me and starting become the real thickos of society

So if the UK gives the EU 13 billion a year but gets back 4 billion in a rebate, does anyone know who chooses where the 4 billion is spent or goes?

My thinking is if the EU chooses where the 4 billions goes then actually if we left the EU we could literally give , if we choose to give the NHS 13 billion a year.
anyone know what that is a week?

I don't think that Boris has lied. He has skewed the numbers to make a point but all politicians do. Ask the Tories how the economy is doing they will reel off a load of facts that tell you it's great. Ask Corbyn the same question and you will get a different answer because it's cherry picking.

It isn't.

I live in the south west and some of my friends are farmers.

Two I have spoken to in recent days were originally strong leavers, mainly because of a dislike of all the bureaucracy and paperwork and the idea they would be to trade freely. Now they understand that the paperwork will get even more complicated and confusing and have no idea what will be needed so cannot plan effectively. Reality has dawned in the south west at least in some minds. Whether in "droves" I cannot tell.

This could back fire for the remoaners. If Boris Johnson states the facts and makes a clear case that 350 million a week could in theory go to the NHS if britain so wishes then the case to leave is increased. Fingers crossed lol

Smart move by Farage if the Tories don't want to be wiped out at the next GE by his party then they had best deliver Brexit.

Johnson or whichever leaver wins the contest needs to make a deal with Farage and probably Ukip.

Whoever wins the leadership can't push any form of Brexit through without another set of MPs general election.

So maybe Johnson should surf that honeymoon period, crack a few jokes, make a deal with Farage and Ukip not to stand in the GE and then call another election.

I don't know if there is enough time however to get everything done and dusted before the October deadline.

You have no actual proof of course that this would be the case? You are kinda having a punt here.

Lol.

The wrong amount was put on the bus, that’s called lying.

The whole amount of this fake amount cannot go to the NHS, funding public services is a bit more complicated than that.

To answer your question yes I think dumbed down false and misleading things written on buses did affect the election.

Half truth? Hmmm. With stats you either put the correct number in or you inflate it and lie about it. Reminds me of something Michael Cohen said.

So that’s one.

Also the head of the national farmers union is fairly clear on this issue.
