Would you like to point me to the section in whichever myriad EU treaties we've had signed for us that guarantees the UK receives it's rebate, and moreover that it has complete freedom to spend the various infrastructural "funds" (lol) on whatever we please? Reality check: if we wanted to spend that £350m on on whatever we pleased, we couldn't: 1. The rebate could have been removed on a whim. There is no legal right to it. Sorry I said Trump. Didn't mean to trigger you. Instead of being told, like little children, how to spend our own money, we opted to not earmark £350m per week to an EU that could rightfully have said: "you know what? We're not doing that rebate thing any more, and you're only allowed to spend your funds on roads. In Romania". Now. Ah, yes. Lies. Where's the recession? Where's the mass unemployment? Where's the locusts? Where's the punishment budget? Where's the “serried rows of white headstones”? Where's the relocation of banks? Where's the drop in house prices? Why did we spend a record £77.56bn at Christmas when "Brexit has ruined us"? Where's the back of the queue? Where's the exodus of companies? Why isn't Cameron still PM as he promised? I could go on, but it's pretty boring harping back to a referendum that supposedly we were all too stupid to understand.

I stay clear of political threads to prevent them turning into WILLO threads with my protagonists hurling bile and vitriol and de-railing the debate. But I thought that on this occasion I would make an exception and congratulate you on an excellent post.

All well and good, but many many people believed the 350million quid for the NHS line. They weren't as well informed as you appeared to have been. I'm sure I read somewhere that it was a key driver towards people voting leave. Much as I hate Blair, he raised some good points about getting something that looks nothing like we wanted out of the exit deal Yes we're leaving. Not a problem for me. But I don't trust Theresa May to get the best for anyone but her mates who will all be alright even if the rest of us aren't. She's not the safe pair of hands she's cracked up to be imho.

It's complete bulls*** to say that bus headline was what swung people to vote for Brexit. So basically, you are saying that people who voted for Brexit are stupid because the result wasn't what you wanted! So Nick, if the net figure of £220m was used on the bus, would that have really made a difference? Most people knew that £350m was a gross figure (it was mentioned in so many interviews by the pro-EU media). Nothing wrong with gross figures by the way. I mean we talk about job salaries that way. PLUS, most people would know that NHS spending is down to the government at the time. The official leave campaign was NOT the government! However, any government can spend £300m, £400m or £500m extra on the NHS if it wanted, but that wasn't the point. The argument was having the control to spend that extra money on the UK! Nick, people aren't stupid. They knew exactly what they voted for and WE WON! Edited by Penge Eagle (17 Feb 2017 10.17pm)

Pundits and MPs kept saying ‘why isn’t Leave arguing about the economy and living standards’. They did not realise that for millions of people, £350m/NHS was about the economy and living standards – that’s why it was so effective. It was clearly the most effective argument not only with the crucial swing fifth but with almost every demographic. Even with UKIP voters it was level-pegging with immigration. Would we have won without immigration? No. Would we have won without £350m/NHS? All our research and the close result strongly suggests No. Would we have won by spending our time talking about trade and the Single Market? No way.

I'm not saying anyone is stupid, if it was so stupid of them what's all this about? A national broadcaster asks about the £350 million quid, (40 seconds in) she didn't know she was supposed to know it was bulls***! The money for the NHS (as it turns out lie) thing was used over and over again in the campaign.

Yup, there sure was a lot of genuine love and support for the NHS within the Leave campaign.. "Matthew Elliott, Chief Executive of Vote Leave was previously chief executive of the Taxpayers Alliance, which advocated far harsher public spending cuts than those carried out by the Government. In addition last March when Mr Elliott was still a director of the organisation it set out details of how it would increase charges for NHS services. These included a “£20 flat-rate GP consultation charge”; a “£20 daily ‘hotel’ charge for overnight hospital stays.." Edited by legaleagle (17 Feb 2017 11.25pm)
