And Brexit


You've got that backwards. Brexit is the prime example of the British public rejecting a campaign that was being pushed on them.


Both sides did heavy pushing, albeit one included much more lies (where are the 350 million per week for the NHS, Boris?)


Weren't there a lot of fearmongering whoppers of budget black holes, economic collapse, shortages and famine, increased risk of war, etc., coming out of remain? How do you judge which side lied more?


They are literally running out of petrol right now. Grocery store shelves empty. Still year one.


More like - Brexit has highlighted the state of our crumbling and badly-run domestic HGV industry, now that there isn't a pool of Eastern Europeans prepared to do the work for lower wages. Personally, I'm excited to see an industry given such a chance to redeem and re-structure itself for the better.


I didn't say there would be no positives or negatives to either side, I said there were lies from both sides. Which there clearly were.

I just find it strange that people think one side has the high ground because they didn't lie to the public quite so much, according to people who lied to the public.
