Does something have to say 'this is a promise' for many to believe it? And
just what do you consider a promise in politics anyway?

No, but clearly suggesting that what had previously
been sent to the EU every year could be used locally
instead is nothing even remotely like a promise to
spend it all on the NHS,

And just what do you consider a promise in politics anyway?


What is in the party manifesto in the election campaign is a lot closer to a
promise to do that.

Correct. It was a suggestion, which Johnson fully endorsed. Every

suggestion. And all the Little Englanders fell for it.

Why do those who oppose leaving believe that 17 million people (and
maybe more during the last general election) were fooled by the 350
million figure especially with so much contemporary publicity saying
that the figure was a lie?

Basically because they stupidly believe that most of the leavers
were fooled and didnt make a rational chose that leaving is better.

It wasn't so much the actual figure as the implication that most, if
not all of it would be spent on the NHS. I saw enough clueless vox

1) Only Brexiteers 'believe'. Levers need to know or won't gamble.
2) It didn't need 17M people to believe it, just a few more than those
who voted Remain.
3) They didn't need to be completely fooled, they just needed to be
swayed, given how little fact was being offered at the time.
4) There were two lies on the bus and if anyone believed either then
that could have been enough to sway the vote.
a) £350M/w to the EU
b) That it could fund the NHS 'instead'. [1]
5) Of the money we agreed to pay to the EU (nearer £250M/w), we then
get a good percentage of it back through grants and other benefits.

https://fullfact.org/europe/350-mill...hority-misuse/

"We have never paid the EU £350 million a week and we have never owed
the EU £350 million a week. After we leave the EU, that means we
cannot take back control of £350 million a week."

And how does it actually compare with our other costs:
http://www.hl.co.uk/__data/assets/im...ng-10.1.17.png


especially with so much contemporary publicity saying
that the figure was a lie?


Publicity that really only hit the main press *after* the event.

Please don't keep trying to Jedi mind trick you way past any of the
above. It really doesn't work. the *point* is that it was a scam that
worked (along with the other lies) because just enough people fell for
it. You 'won', well done. Bask in your hollow victory (while you can).

Cheers, T i m

[1] I know it doesn't actually say it *would* be 'given to the NHS
instead' (but 'let's' is pretty close) but once you (= 'the gullible')
have an idea like that set in peoples minds they like to believe it,
especially if they are looking for reasons to blame something they
don't like, even if they don't know why they don't like it (other than
those thoughts that have been put into their minds by racists, Little
Englanders and anti EU fanatics etc).

You didn't need 17 million to believe the lies. A couple of million was
enough to sway the vote. Plenty had perfectly acceptable reasons to want
to leave - even where others disagreed with them.

Because to admit that their liberal politically correct 'majority' is
actually a minority groupthink echo chaanber would destroy their

And, having no actual personalities, there would be nothing left.

Based on this unscientific survey of the way people I know voted the

You endlessly harp on about one lie but conveniently forget that there
were so many lies and half truths told by on both sides of the campaign
that even the "experts" would be hard pressed to understand why people
actually voted the way they did and even then was it based on hard facts
or just a fuzzy feeling that the way they voted was right.


You 'won', well done. Bask in your hollow victory (while you can).


Again you completely misunderstand why many people voted leave and you
will probably continue to remind us that everything that goes wrong in
the future with the economy or industry will be due to brexit.

Will the future plans by car manufacturers be influenced by brexit or by
the intention to ban the sale of all petrol/diesel cars in the UK by
2035, especially if the EU countries (and the rest of the world) don't
match this time scale?

Basically, whoever paid for that bus, bought enough votes to influence
the outcome.
However, we are where we are and need to accept the result without
further recrimination.
While it is nice to have someone to blame if things go badly further
obstruction is not helpful for any.

As I warned, I'm not going to fall for your attempts of distraction
and how we came to a Leave win in the first place:

'Leaving' needed reasons and should have been decided fairly. It
wasn't. Counter the following statements with honesty (if you possibly
can), not give me any more Leaver BS:

so snip pathetic distraction attempt
replaced cowardly snips

1) Only Brexiteers 'believe'. Levers need to know or won't gamble.
2) It didn't need 17M people to believe it, just a few more than those
who voted Remain.
3) They didn't need to be completely fooled, they just needed to be

Yes, he carefully overlooks all the Project Fear lies.


Because (and obviously you wouldn't get this on your own because you
are a left brainer), Leave won and only *Leaving* would be a change
from the status quo.

If you dare someone to jump off a cliff (for no tangible reason, like
the false promise of something) and they don't, there is nothing lost,
it's only if they jump are questions likely to be asked and especially
your part in it.

I *really* CGAF if we left or stayed, as long as whatever we did was
decided honestly and fairly and was done democratically (a straight
advisory referendum first, then a people vote for starters) and where
liars *aren't* allowed to post lies on the sides of busses on the
grounds it's easier to get forgiveness than permission.

Do you think for one second they would have been allowed to post the
lies on the side of the bust if they were required to go though some
sort of honesty audit first?

Also, in your left brainer world, how many Remainers do you actually
think thought the sky would fall in ... but might just be cautious /
concerned that it might not actually do us the good that the Leavers
promised but couldn't justify?

There is nothing dangerous in being a glass half empty person,
especially when there is little tangible proof that the promise of
more water may just be hopes and dreams.

This is the problem with left brainers and cognitive bias, they think
that both sides are equal and that's far from the truth. Leavers and
only leavers were the activists and *have to* 'sell' the facts to
everone else. They didn't, they used tricks and lies.

Democracy is something that happens continuously and why I can't
support (and never will) us Leaving the EU under those bogus grounds.

Why do those who oppose leaving believe that 17 million people (and
maybe more during the last general election) were fooled by the 350
million figure especially with so much contemporary publicity saying
that the figure was a lie?


You didn't need 17 million to believe the lies. A couple of million was
enough to sway the vote. Plenty had perfectly acceptable reasons to want
to leave - even where others disagreed with them.


Basically, whoever paid for that bus, bought enough votes to influence
the outcome.

"Mr Cummings also coined the group’s official slogan “vote leave, take
control”. An official Vote Leave poster also claimed that “Turkey
(population 76million) is joining the EU.”

Bingo, it really could come down to something as simple (and devious)
as that.

However, we are where we are and need to accept the result without
further recrimination.


Do we though? If someone tricks you into cleaning and painting your
roof with some false promises then it fails, do you just walk away?

While it is nice to have someone to blame if things go badly further
obstruction is not helpful for any.


Other than we haven't left yet, the final deal still isn't struck and
democracy doesn't just happen on one day.

If the idea that not everyone is happy to accept anything the
government now comes up with re us Leaving, they might just moderate
what they do for fear of being voted out at the next election (or
sooner).

Which will be the case if the sh1t really hits the fan.

Whereas the people who bought ALL the *other* busses saying bollox to

Oh dear Tim. ten times more was spent in remain propaganda than leave.

Or are you still in denial?

Because 1) few saw them [1] and 2) remaining wasn't a decision to
change the status quo, only leaving was. People are rarely interested
in voting in what they already have or learning about what they
already know (or think they know).

See above.

He never was, he's just dealing with facts (about people) that you
can't even begin to consider.

[1] I saw a few and laughed at the Remainer ones I saw as they were
just funny, not telling lies or trying to scam the gullible.

Take any subject and get a journalist to go into the streets with a
microphone and they will get the worthless answers they deserve. It's
much like those doing street surveys. The majority people approached
will tell them politely to **** off. Are the minority who agree to
answer questions now representative of the general population?

And all the ones that dont fit the editors preconceptions or agenda end
up on the cutting room floor.


You've not kept up with TV technology? Film and cutting rooms ain't been
use in news and current affairs for some 40 years.

You probably need to meet one person I know who voted remain for the
sole reason that if she voted leave her prescription drugs would no
longer be available. I wonder how she formed that opinion?


How indeed?

Seems to me the majority voted based on beliefs they'd held for a long
long time. Without questioning any of them.

Nothing like appealing to people's wallets. And leave were very keen to
imply everyone would be better off after we leave.

Only recently have they admitted that hard times are very likely ahead for
many.

No lies there. Plain statements.

Oh dear Tim. ten times more was spent in remain propaganda than leave.


Oh? Who paid for that then?

Or are you still in denial?


I'm not denying anything. Spaced Tim has an agenda. I see no benefit in
pursuing a lost cause and would prefer the dispute left to the political
groups.

Obviously not.


There was no promise on that bus.


Does something have to say 'this is a promise' for many to believe it? And
just what do you consider a promise in politics anyway?

A statement of a fact is not a promise.
A suggestion to do something is not a promise, but in this case it is
being implemented.

Because their buses werent painted with catchy enough
stuff to have everyone talking about them.

Oh dear Tim. ten times more was spent in remain propaganda than leave.


But clearly they ****ed most of that money against the bus walls.

He will be until he dies, even if brexit works very well indeed.

It doesn't really matter. Even with the best will in the world,
one person trying to sample the views of millions of people by
means of personal meetings has no realist chance of not falling
prey to biases of one kind or another. Even professional opinion
pollsters have to work hard to get good-enough results.

It seems clear enough from discussions here that some people have
experiences that suggest that a majority of real people they meet
think Brexit is a good idea; whilst for others the majority of real
people *they* meet think it is a bad idea.

Mind you, the whole situation can become - at least superficially -
nicely clear cut if you decide that people whose views you dislike
are not "real people", or should be discounted since they have
obviously been misled by propaganda.
