Back on the Boris bus slogan.

A politician (possibly IDS I don't remember) pointed out that this sort of statement should not end up in court as it the typical selective facts / distortion of the truth that goes on all the time in politics.

He went on to say that it was dealt with at time time by many Remainer politicans who objected to it and called out the Leave campaign over it.

In short politician makes statement that other politicians disputed at the time. By the way IDS has said he stands by that statement so why isn't he in the dock.

One form covers all EU. Every other country has its own. She spent the whole morning form filling.

Regardless I'll commit to you that I will listen to it.

So what's gonna change? As surely when we leave and get a trade deal with the eu she'd still be filling in the same forms?

If I remember correctly, Osborne made comments suggesting 500000 job losses and a completely collapsed economy straight after a Leave vote....neither happened, why isnt Osborne in the dock too?....all lies, the one thing politicians are good at....this Boris Johnson thing is just a set up to stop him becoming PM

..........also, once out of the limelight, he admitted to an American audience that 'austerity' was the wrong path to take.
I have no love for Boris but somebody bitching about a slogan on a frickin' bus despite Blairs' antics (people DIED!) should tell everyone all they need to know about society today.

Such a shame.

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.

Very very well said.

I’m interested in how things are going over there but perhaps for another thread.

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.

Complicated how? Not complicated for Gordon Brown. Bellow it out in the HoC and it’s done.

Do you not think there is more than a small difference in the two?

Johnson told a lie.

Osborne made a forecast that didn't materialise. We can all speculate why he was wrong but it was still only a forecast. My view is that is has only been delayed because of the uncertainties about the type of Brexit we may end up with and the possibility we won't have one at all. We have been in a kind of limbo ever since but should we crash out I fear Osborne's forecast may well be proved correct.

Johnson, and the rest of the Leave campaign, just lied.

 


For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

Jesus. They were both given as possibilities. This hearing won’t go anywhere. All for the sulkers.

& the remainers were all speaking the truth?
No EU Army for starters.
We'll be back of the line for US trade deals
A hard border will be needed with the Rep of Ireland
Osborne's claim we'd be all about 5K worse off if we leave the EU.
What about article 50 being triggered? I can't recall that happening either.
There will be no 2nd Referendum/Vote or whatever technical term you wish to bulls*** with.

Of course the EU want them to join. The EU is effectively a ponzi scheme, they are running on empty.
