Yep, the bent electioneering was done by remain not leave.

It is not a binary choice. Vote Leave were fine £61,000 for their
breach of the rules.

They didn't breach the rules,

The High Court said they did.

and they were exonerated

The maximum fine for any one offence is £20,000. A total of £61,000
means that they were fined for at least four offences. The High Court
only considered one of those offences, in relation to money given to
BeLeave,. It found they had acted illegally, but with the mitigating
circumstances that they had received misleading advice from the
Electoral Commission. That is not being exonerated.

Then, of course, we also have Leave EU, which was fined £70,000 for four
separate offences.

According to your link, DDB have been fined a total of £2,800. It
still looks as though the leave campaigners were much more culpable.

It looks liek te electoiral comissionon picked on soemone top show they
were 'impartial' and didnt exact any penalties

They actually fined more remain organisations than leave organisations.
However, the former were mostly for minor accounting or reporting
errors, which was reflected in the much lower fines.

You were lied to.

Mostly by the Leave campaign.

No,

Very little of the Leave campaign was not based on lies or misdirection.
