Yeah, I've been wondering over the last couple of days if Jock Jock actually believes the weird apologetics he is piping out.
If I was a Leaver, I think I would be able to hold my hands up and say.
'Yeah that part of the campaign was a mess, the message should have been about taking back control of our spending but that's clearly not the implication'
Instead we are having English semantics lessons (to some pretty well educated people) to justify this misleading mantra.
Jock Jock, regardless of where the money may or may not be going. Surely you can admit the 350 Million is not an accurate figure and was an exaggerated deception designed to shock people into voting Leave.
There is no semantic wriggle room around this figure.
Or are you so sold on the propaganda that you're going to attempt justify this.
The poster said we send 350 million to the EU, we do.
It was common knowledge that we then get a rebate and money coming back through investment which amounts to about half of that coming back in ways out of our control. The fact remains exactly the same, we do send 350million a week to the EU. Admittedly we get back a quarter in rebates and a quarter in investment. But 350 million is sent to the EU every week, this it what is called a fact. And besides, saying it is perfectly fine because that's not true it's actually only 175 million pounds per week because we get coupons back reminds me of a VCR I had in for repair once in the Canaries'. Nine months that VCR was in the shop to be repaired, eventually I went in and demanded to know what was going on. I said this video has been here for nine months come on, it must be ready. "Nine months, that's nothing we had one tv that was in here for two and a half years".
350 million is sent to the EU each year, the fact we get some back and some development vouchers which we are not allowed to spend on our owny wonies, does not change the fact that 350 million is sent to the EU each week. You see there is a difference between 'send' and 'our net balance' is.
And let's be honest the EU and the European Parliament are both obese carbuncles of bureaucracy with a proven record of near total economic failure prone to sociological disasters.
Remain's campaign of fear, of financial Armageddon, is the one being proven to be nothing more than complete horseshit by the second.
The campaign message on that bus, for those of us who understand English, is all about taking-back control, which is exactly what the leave campaign did, so no I don't think that part if the campaign was run badly, quite the opposite in fact.
