The UK gives the EU a gross contribution of £350 million a week. This is not a lie, and it is an amount which could be spent on the NHS if the UK Government so wished. These are usually touted as lies, but this stems from 'Remain' campaigners being unable to tell the difference between the words 'gross' and 'net' as well as the difference between the words 'could' and 'will'.
I'll comment on this one, Urmstongran.
The National Statistics Authority refuted this at the time. Their statement and correspondence here:
www.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/news/uk-statistics-authority-statement-on-the-use-of-official-statistics-on-contributions-to-the-european-union/
European Council President Donald Tusk, said western political civilisation would be destroyed if the UK voted 'Leave'. As you are currently reading this, it is safe to say western political civilisation has not ended. Therefore, we must conclude this was a 'Remain' lie.
I don't recall Donald Tusk being a participant in the UK 'Remain' Campaign. You can call him out for his statement if you like, but don't call it a 'Remain lie'. Nothing to do with the UK Remain campaign.
David Cameron implied in a speech about the "serried rows of white headstones" that World War 3 would be upon us if Brexit occurred. The last time I checked the UK had not invaded Poland or any other country, and therefore we must conclude this was a lie.
David Cameron implied nothing of the sort. He was referring to the fact that the EU had helped to keep the peace in Europe for 70 years. Which was not a lie. It was Boris Johnson who twisted his words into a prediction of WW3. You know, Boris Johnson, that confirmed liar who was sacked by a national newspaper for lying... And from what I've seen since the referendum it's Leavers, with their determined hatred of Germany, who seem to be intent on making Jonson's lies become reality.
George Osborne predicted tax rises and spending cuts would be implemented. To date, no changes to the planned tax rates or public spending have been implemented. So, another lie, and thankfully after his sacking Osborne is no longer in a position create his 'punishment budget'.
I don't know what planet you're living on, Ug but cuts to public services continue. Nothing to do with Brexit, really; just the tory's vicious and completely unnecessary austerity policy.
"A dangerous fantasy" is how Nick Clegg described Nigel Farage's claim of EU plans to create an army. Barely three months on from the Referendum, Juncker proposed an EU Army. I'm looking forward to Nick Clegg's next apology video like the one he made after his last whopper!
Juncker can propose away, but it is up to the Member States to agree to it. This notion that Juncker determines the direction of the EU is a leavers fantasy.
David Cameron said he wouldn't resign as Prime Minister if he lost the Referendum vote. Enough said.
Well, bloody hell! That was Cameron's very own personal lie and really not a terribly significant one in the scheme of things. Scraping the barrel here, I feel.
The former Prime Minister also tried to claim the UK could manage its immigration policy while inside the EU. Why are 'Remain' campaigners insisting we start to control immigration in any Brexit deal then? Because we cannot control EU immigration now, proving Cameron was lying.
We always could control EU immigration, it's just that governments never bothered to. I haven't noticed any Remain campaigners insisting that we start controlling immigration in any brexit deal, though they may well be reiterating that it has always been possible. And as for 'controlling immigration', figures released today show that, unsurprisingly, immigration from the EU has fallen (indeed, why on earth would they want to come to the country which has made it so clear that they are unwanted?) but immigration from non EU countries is at it's highest since 2004. How very odd.
Universities wanted the UK to remain in the EU because leaving would result in Horizon 2020 funding disappearing. The Chancellor, Philip Hammond, has agreed to keep this funding in place.
Oh, they should have had crystal balls to tell them what was going to happen 2 years down the line! This is absurd; genuine fears dressed up as lies.
Now explain why the list of lies varian posted aren't lies at all...
