Edit: So you're not fussed about large-scale dodgy donations, as long as they go to the side you support?

Originally posted by Mordac View PostWhich bit of that is a lie? The guy moves currency markets (and famously shorted the GBP winning a billion or so in the process).

Maybe Johnson is a Pratchett fan .....
Scientists have calculated that the chances of something so patently absurd actually existing are millions to one. But magicians have calculated that million-to-one chances crop up nine times out of ten.

It's funny how he's already started to play the role of the victim and try to blame the EU for his imminent failure.

Originally posted by Old Greg View PostBroadly speaking, if you are spending £100,000,000 to mitigate a risk with a 1 in 1,000,000 likelihood of occurring, the value of the mitigation in the event of the risk materialising is around £100,000,000,000,000 (in current terms, not in future hyperinflationary terms).
Of course, this is all a bit of fun, because Johnson is lying through his teeth when he says it's a 1 in 1,000,000 chance. So don't put too much faith in him when he says he will definitely bring the UK out of the EU in October.
But also, he's not spending £100mill to mitigate a risk, but to make people aware that the risk exists.
Surely instead of giving money to his mates to come up with a campaign slogan (How about "Take BACK risk"? ), perhaps he could just reuse the advertising from the Remain group, you know the stuff that got branded "Project Fear" by Con Dummings.
