What about "THE EU WILL GO DOWN!!!!! WE HAVE TO LEAVE NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!!!!!"?
|
|
By:
edy we get it youre pro eu:)
|
|
By:
no, I'm legitimately curious. Already yesterday you talked about EU scaremongering. What is that stuff from leave?
|
|
By:
just facts?
|
|
By:
moment im working;p
|
|
By:
facts like the things and promises they made a u turn on a few hours after the result was published?
|
|
By:
Things they coincidentally didn't know a few hours earlier to tell the voters in time
|
|
By:
Or hey, what about the lunatic scaremongering about Turkey joining the EU in a matter of years?
|
|
By:
what do you mean
|
|
By:
Leave campaign was scaremongering around that Turkey would join the EU by 2020 or 2030. Never gonna happen and they perfectly know that
|
|
By:
just used it in a climate of increasing fear of muslims to incite fear and garner votes even though they knew better
|
|
By:
Either way, maybe I was able to show you that "project fear" wasn't just done by Cameron and Remain. I would argue leave had even more scaremongering, and completely irrational one at that, going on. That's why it has always amused me if the people who voted leave talk about a one-sided Project Fear or scaremongering from only Remain.

|
By:
ffs
|
|
By:
it also feels like leave heavily exaggerates what Cameron actually said. As if he was saying Armageddon would happen or something like that.
|
|
By:
It got to an absurd point where Cameron said all the bad people would like Brexit but most of it was based on the economy which in general never cut through to leavers
|
|
By:
Unless map is also heavily following left wingers on Twitter or also reading left leaning papers like mirror and guardian then reading too much into Twitter and comment sections is meaningless
There's a reason people say don't read the comments |
|
By:
sure like the exit polls and polls all the remain camped love to talk up
|
|
By:
ring that a few thousand doesnt equal 30mil votes
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
All those polls saying remain should win probably worked against them anyhow
|
|
By:
It's not like they ring up x000 people and take their answers
They split their participants by age gender political preference education level etc |
|
By:
The exit poll for 2015 election was near perfect in predicting a Tory majority which wasn't coming up in previous polling.

Bombay mix
In 2006, the Sun reported that “nutty” EU officials wanted to rename Bombay mix Mumbai mix, “to make the snack politically correct”. This story is completely fictional. The Telegraph’s then Brussels correspondent, David Rennie, managed to find the source of the story, which was a small regional news agency in England. The editor there told him the story “came from a mate at the Home Office, who had heard it being talked about” and when challenged said: “Look, this is just meant to be funny for the tabloids.” Grains of truth (out of five): 0 That's how Sun, Daily Mail and Daily Express work. Inspiring stuff |

Banning prawn cocktail crisps
The stories you need to read, in one handy email Read more This is a subject that has exercised Boris Johnson for about 15 years. In 2002 he wrote that some of his “most joyous hours” had been spent composing “foam-flecked hymns of hate to the latest Euro-infamy”, the first on the list: the ban on prawn cocktail crisps. Except that the EU never banned the crisps. The EU contends that this palaver was the result of an error by the UK government, which failed to include prawn cocktail when asked to send a list of flavourings and sweeteners in current use to the EU, which was drafting a harmonised EU-wide list. When the mistake was spotted, the information was provided by the UK government and the list was amended. But this hasn’t stopped Johnson from getting angry about it. As recently as March, the former London mayor cited the “great war against the British prawn cocktail flavour crisp” as part of his evidence of Brussels-gone-mad and a reason he was campaigning to leave. Grains of truth: 1 This is how Boris Johnson works |

btw Aaron, did you see the how well "Brexit the movie" was researched? From John Oliver

By:
Odd this idea that voting to leave smacked down the political elite that was Cameron and co and instead granted a victory to the political elite like Boris, Gove and Farage
|
|
By:
People also said leavers were stupid because of this idea that people who are experts in their field apparently actually didn't know anything
|
|
By:
saying there are 109 pillow regulations in a desperate attempt to make the EU look menacingly weird and in fact they just listed regulations that mentioned the word "pillow" somewhere but have absolutely nothing to do with pillows
