The Leave Campaign in the UK's EU referendum was the most mendacious, deceitful, inflammatory and irresponsible I have ever seen, so it was clear the wheels
would come off if they won. But even
I am surprised how quickly it has happened.
Broken promises so far:-
1. The economy will
not be damaged. In fact, the pound crashed to its lowest level for more than 30
years, and job losses are already being announced.
2. David Cameron
will stay on as Prime Minister. In fact, within a couple of hours of the result
being announced, he had resigned.
3. The NHS will get
an extra £350m a week if we leave the EU. Now the Brexit leadership says it
will not. Their flagship promise was a ‘mistake’.
4. Leaving the EU
will cut immigration. Now Brexit Conservative MEP Daniel Hannan admits this is not going to
happen. They want to keep freedom of movement with Europe. In fact, as I have pointed
out before, the anti-Europeans have no target for immigration, and it may well
go up if we leave the EU.
It has been clear throughout the campaign that the Brexit leadership do not have a clue what to do if
Britain leaves Europe, and a lot of Leave voters are already expressing their regret
at the way they voted. In order to save Britain further damage, it is essential
that the foolish threat to leave the EU is immediately withdrawn.
More than 3 million
voters have already signed a petition demanding a second referendum https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/131215
And write to your
MP demanding they keep Britain in the EU.
