The vast majority of the popular press just loved any stories that

refute them.

Plenty of people in the UK who *could* *have*, if they'd been of a mind
to.

Just how? Set up their own newspaper in competition with all the popular
anti EU press?

Plenty of Remainer MEPs. And nothing to stop the meeja inviting EU
people to comment.

Why would the Mail or Express invite an 'EU person' to comment on their
lies?

And then there was £9M of our dosh spent on Gumment
Remain propaganda.

The anti EU press had been telling their lies for years. Not something
that can be discredited overnight.


The way you sell a successful newspaper is to tell people what they
want to hear. If the newspaper is popular then it's readers think the
same way as the editors. So if you think that enough people were
deluded, setting up your own newspaper would obviously be a success.
Strange, it doesn't happen. I see the Guardian and the Independent are
both failing operations, I wonder why?
