What was leave's completely wrong picture of the undemocratic EU monster that is out to get your freedom and indepence if not scare tactics? Or them using a picture of refugees with the lone purpose of inciting fear - was that not giant scaremongering?

sure like the exit polls and polls all the remain camped love to talk up
There was plenty in favour of leave too.
The leave.eu guy commissioned some polling of 12k people on the day I think and it came out at 52-48
They split their participants by age gender political preference education level etc
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.”

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.

all the remain camp were insulting leave saying they were thick, didnt know what theyre voting for, poor, lower class, uneducated - that was the tactic to try and badger people to vote remain
These demographics did generally lean leave
People said that leavers didn't know what they were voting for because some for example blame the EU for issues of previous governments or that they voted based on some idea that the NHS would get better funding which probably won't happen or that they had this idea that immigration would suddenly get slashed by a huge amount when we have large control over it

how is he not a good role model? helps out all the other UK players, trains hard, plays hard, wins a lot.
doesn't go on the p1ss, **** around and is utterly dedicated to his sport.
how exactly is he not a good role model, because he swears sometimes on court? grow up.
wee story for you. my wife is a primary school teacher and her class were doing a project on the Olympics.
they all wrote to a 2012 gold medal winners asking them some questions. most replied to some extent (one high profile one didn't
mentioning no names but he runs a long way) but a couple of days later the school got a phone call from a gold medal winner offering to do to skype Q&A with the kids.
It was never asked for but Andy Murray off his own back did half an hour on Skype with his gold medal in hand answering the kids questions.
They were thrilled he was great with the kids so f**k you. He's a good guy.
he's not a role model because of his loutish behaviour and he's also a big baby and a bad loser. He behaves like a spoilt brat. One day he might grow up. All pro tennis players train hard and play hard, no difference there
They do?
