Bus

[maggiebee]

I seem to remember a big red bus with this printed on the sides.

We send the EU £350 million per week
Lets fund our NHS instead
Vote Leave

What has happened to the £350 million we have saved every week?

It was a fairy tale!!

That 'pledge' was abandoned more than 4 years ago https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/sep/10/brexit-camp-abandons-350-million-pound-nhs-pledge

[maggiebee]

Aye barry, just like every other pledge has been abandoned!

[naomi24]

It wasn’t a pledge . Read it. The people who came up with the suggestion were in no position to make any such pledge. How many times does that need to be said on here before this ridiculous nonsense stops being repeated?

[barry1010]

Boris was very happy to stand in front of the bus for a photos, naomi.

[naomi24]

So what?

[maggiebee]

When you're in a hole I suggest you stop digging!

[naomi24]

Good advice, Maggiebee. I suggest you take it.

Naomi, please ignore my posts in future and I'll ignore yours.

I think people need to understand that all politicians (of every persuasion) tell lies. It's what they do to get elected. Anybody who casts their vote on the basis of what politicians have told them is an idiot.

In the case of Brexit, both sides told lies, uttered half truths and deceived the electorate. I made my mind up in 1992 that I would vote to leave if ever given the opportunity. Nothing any politician has said between then and the referendum caused me to reconsider and nothing that has happened since the referendum has made me regret my decision. If you believed that the money we previously gave to the EU would somehow just be paid over to the NHS and if you believed the government would stick to its manifesto pledges then you need to get out more. The Remainers forecast all sorts of things would happen should we vote to leave. Few of them have materialised, just as the £350m a week to the NHS hasn't. I've recovered from the lies spouted by both sides very quickly because I believed neither of them. That way I was not disappointed.

Perhaps find a better topic for Political discussion as per Ed's request.

You’re free to ignore my posts, maggiebee, but if yours are ‘erroneous’ (see how kind I was there?) I won’t be ignoring them.

It was a big lie created by Boris to fool the public into voting for Brexit and it worked .People let Boris radicalise them , and Boris has not stopped telling lies ever since . Most people still believe every lie that comes out of his mouth. He has more disciples than jesus christ.

//He has more disciples than jesus christ.//

Well that wouldn't be too difficult since he only had twelve.

[naomi24]

And there’s me believing you, gully, when you said it was all about integration.

Boris wasn’t in a position to promise anything - which is why he didn’t.

[naomi24]

Immigration - not integration. ….. although that’s a thought …

Smart phone, this. :o)

[Jackdaw33]

Boris wasn't even a minister at the time.

[naomi24]

Shhhhh …. Don’t tell ‘em Pike. Years down the line and they’ve still not cottoned on.
