LED by the nose

Nigel Farage tries to show that all of the EU will arrive in the UK – that doesn’t even pass a basic sanity check.
Nigel Farage proposes that 508 million people ‘could come to the UK’ from other EU countries. Hang on a moment 65 million of those already LIVE in the UK, while the idea of the entire populations of France, Germany, Austria, … Continue reading
What the Quitters are Scared to tell you: Their Antarctica/EU comparison is nonsense.
Boris Johnson & his acolytes opened the Wembley debate with some of their usual nonsense – “Only Antarctica is worse”. Let’s just examine what this is about, it will take a moment or two and we’ll have to go a … Continue reading
Leave Campaign still peddling £350 million lie.
I’ve never seen so much dough in all my life. But never forget – no matter how much dough they have here, it’s nothing like the dough we are sending to Brussels every day: £50 quids worth, £350m a week … Continue reading

The UK has pooled sovereignty since 1603 – why are the Leavers so scared of the EU?

Nigel Farage’s 10 month trade deal, another myth.
Nigel Farage used the US-Australian Free Trade Agreement as the counter-argument to predictions that it would take 5-10 years to negotiate a UK-USA FTA. His assertion is that it had taken just 10 months to negotiate the US-Australia FTA. Let’s look at it: … Continue reading
EFTA states contributions to the EU is on an equal footing with EU member states.
On BBC Radio 4’s “”Any Questions” last night (22nd April 2016), Nigel Farage claimed that Norway makes no contributions to the EU (though he acknowledged it voluntarily makes some donations to poorer EU member states) and that it incorporates only … Continue reading
How a Churchill quote was “stitched up” to support Brexit
Dead people can’t sue or answer back. Maybe that’s why supporters of Brexit thought they could get away with fabricating a quote by Winston Churchill to support Britain leaving the European Union. Increasingly doing the rounds in the lead-up to … Continue reading
