[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 392552, member: 33"] I would agree with you if the public were given the true facst on which to base how they voted. Instead we were told the following: 1. [B]THE LIE: "We send the EU £350m a week. Let’s fund our NHS instead." Boris Johnson's Brexit Bus[/B] THE TRUTH: the UK did not send the EU £350m a week because this figure didn't included the UK rebate nor did it take into account the amount of money that came back into the UK from the EU. [B]2. THE LIE: Turkey (population 76 million) is joining the EU - "This will not only increase the strain on Britain’s public services, but it will also create a number of threats to UK security." - Penny Mordant[/B] THE TRUTH: Turkey was no more about to join the EU in 2016 than it is now and there is no realistic prospect of this happening. [B]3. THE LIE: “Absolutely nobody is talking about threatening our place in the single market” - Daniel Hannan Conservative MEP (now Conservative peer).[/B] THE TRUTH: The Tories promised single market access for UK business after leaving the EU but we left the single market and screwed businesses that traded with the EU. [B]4. THE LIE: “We can take back control over UK waters, set our own fishing policies, and support our fishermen” - Boris Johnson[/B] THE TRUTH: With the UK now outside the Common Fisheries Policy, all UK exports now have to have health certificates, catch certificates and customs declarations adding to the cost to fishers which far outweigh any larger quotas that we have gained through Brexit. It is estimated that this is costing the industry £79.5m a year. [B]5. THE LIE: “Britain will be forced to join an EU ARMY unless we leave” - Penny Mordaunt [/B] THE TRUTH: There were no plans to form an EU army and even if there were, the UK could not have been “forced” to participate in EU military policies even if we had stayed in. [B]6. THE LIE: “The UK government will continue to give farmers and the environment as much support, or perhaps even more, as now” George Eustice MP.[/B] THE TRUTH: This never happened and the subsidy schemes the Tories introduced were (in my view deliberately) so complex and the paperwork so demanding that most farmers were unable to apply. [B]7. THE LIE: “Believe me, we’ll have up to 40 [free trade agreements] ready for one second after midnight in March 2019” - Liam Fox MP[/B] THE TRUTH: The post-Brexit trade deals that have been signed were overwhelmingly just simply roll-over agreements that continue pre-Brexit arrangements. The new deals include agreements with Australia (estimated to increase UK GDP by 0.08%) and New Zealand (between 0.01% and -0.01%), and both of these are far more beneficial to those nations than to Britain, screwing over UK farmers once again.
