Brexit lies

I can remember my Dad telling me when I was at Primary school that all politicians lie.
The trouble is there are no consequences for them, only for us.

If people are voting for Johnson because they are afraid of Corbyn how will that ever work out?
We shall soon see.
I have never had such a feeling of dread over an election before.

Politicians have always lied. I can remember my dad saying that when Harold Wilson (Labour) de-valued the pound, back in the 60’s I suppose, Wilson said ‘it would make no difference to the pound in your pocket’.
Well, apparently, it did!
For the worse.

There was a time when a politician was forced to resign if found guilty of lying.

Politicians lie! NEVER!!!!! The whole thing has been a farce from day one and I think they should have gone for another referendum instead of this stupid Election which Boris seems bound to win! Farce!

People were sold a Fantasy Brexit that is impossible to deliver. I would like to see lying by politicians made illegal. How can anyone make a decision based on personality politics and spin?

No Deal means we walk away if the EU doesn’t try hard enough. It’s not in their interests to and I can understand that. If they give us too much other EU countries will start to question whether they might prefer to Exit.

Remember Macron saying he didn’t dare offer a referendum to the French because he feared they would also vote to Leave?

But a No Deal works because it removes from the negotiating table some of the things the EU want. Money. Fishing rights. Etc.

Neither side ‘want’ it but it has to be there.

Here is a list of recent lies

If you don’t do a deal in business you stay the same as you are - you don’t rip everything up and start from zero which is what no deal would be.

Trying to use the threat of No Deal brexit as a negotiating poly is nonsense. It is like threatening to shoot yourself if you don't get your own way. This is one of the fallacious arguments the brexitories use.

It is not analogous to walking away from a car showroom if you don't get a good deal. If you do that you've still got your old car and your money. You have lost nothing. Brexit makes us losers.

Alexandra Hall Hall just got fed up peddling brexit lies and trying to defend the indefensible. No wonder she resigned.

Most intelligent and successful negotiators in business recognise the advantage of being able to walk away if a proposed offer on the table isn’t deemed good enough.

That’s all No Deal is.

Neither side wants it but it focuses minds to be serious.

Though Hall Hall did not refer to Johnson or any other UK leader by name in her letter, she expressed concern about the divisive rhetoric that has characterized British politics since the Brexit referendum. Johnson's comments have hardened in recent months. He has attacked attempts to prevent a no-deal Brexit as "surrendering" to Brussels and dismissed fears that his language encourages supporters to abuse his opponents. Johnson has defended his rhetoric, telling the BBC after a particularly rancorous parliamentary debate in September that avoiding such terms risked "impoverishing the language and diminishing parliamentary debate".

Much of the blame for the strategy has been pinned on Johnson's lead adviser,Dominic Cummings.

It is getting pretty serious isnt it?
