    yeah how much did the government waste on the illegal Bremain Brochure £9 Million wasn't it? Some £6 million more than they were allowed wasn't it?
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

        AFAIK NHS employs 1 mln people, add supply chain, family members etc - enough swing vote there to change result
        Just checking my post to see where I agreed it's fraudulent? Nope, can't see it.

        It wasn't a promise as you well know so stop trying to convince yourself it was.

            The bus said £350 mln per week, obviously the higher figure in the campaign is more important as it would have had bigger influence on the voters: quit EU = fix NHS for good.

              Of course the 350m figure is in itself fraudulent as it includes the rebate.

                Just to be clear, that's not a promise either - it's Gove "calling on the government to make a pledge".

                Other things that were not promised by anyone:
                Removing free movement of people
                Leaving the Common Market
                Stopping sending the EU billions of pounds every year
                Anything at all that might happen after triggering Article 50

                  Which goes where the EU wants it, not where the UK wants it.

                  And of course it should have been £375m.

                  And of course it's not fraudulent as there's no promise of anything there.

                  You boys lost. Get over it.

                    Fair point.

                      The bus doesn't say we promise to use all or indeed any money on the NHS. It's an example of what we could do.

                      The link I posted is the figure called for.

                      You read into it what you want.
