It's worth listening to some of his rally speeches towards the end of the campaign, Nick. They didn't get any coverage in our media (or America's, for that matter).

To be fair, that was misleading rather than a lie. Very misleading and very underhanded and written without caveats on a bus, so what I am saying by no means excuses anybody. But the original claim was "leaving the EU was forecast to free up £350m a week for the UK economy which could be put towards the NHS". That's semantics, I realise. However, who here thought that the campaigners for the Leave campaign such as Farage or Johnson would, post Brexit vote, take charge of this country and negotiate the terms of departure?

But as I say, I do totally accept the moans of Remainers on this one because no one can say the public weren't mislead. It is a case of semantics though as I don't think they were lied to as such.

It's a quote, from the person who, at present, is ultimately in charge of whether they get one or not.

Not that anyone claimed what you said was a fact, never mind setting it in stone.

Optimistic as ever

The 'remainers' including me were equally uninspired by the dreadful 'remain' campaign.

It was a shock to find that the PM and his fellow threateners knew nothing about the EU that's why they are always bashing Europe.

It would have been especially helpful if Ms.Merkel and Mr.Hollande had a platform as at least we would have some understanding of the EU position, after all we have been joined for 43 years.

Forget about 51 - 49 stick it in the bin we have a housing crisis.

And construction has fallen in the last few months since the referendum. We do really need to start building houses, seriously.

Scratch beneath of the campaign veneer of muslimsv/misogyny/Mexico wand there's a lot of comparisons with Bernie Sanders.

Trump is certainly not a Republicans republican. Use state money for investment in housing infrastructure and job creation? Funny, when Corbyn suggests this it's bonkers!

may be missing it but he IS the republicans at this point. they aren't what they were 30 or 40 years ago. been building a long time and now we have this.

Biggest winner in the US election must be the gun lobby.

What restrictions there were will be swiftly dismantled.

Does that make you think twice about going to the USA?

Fear not as tourists are going to be allowed to carry a small gun discreetly hidden.

How reassuring I can't wait not to go there.

you have it wrong. gun lobby and gun makers were rooting for hillary big time. they made a ton of money and headway with blacula in office and would've been more of the same with hillary. no boogeyman to rail against now.

but don't worry about coming here - it's not that you're allowed to carry a gun upon arrival. it's an expectation. hand out AK's at customs.
