How many times can we spend a fictional £350m per week? How many manipulations and lies can Leave make about the EU. Let’s see if we can find as many examples as possible: (please feel free to add & share) #realprojectfear #BrexitLies #FakeNews
1. - The ‘original’ and the ‘biggest’ hard pressed : let’s spend it on our NHS instead - “Enough to build a new NHS hospital every 7 days!” Complete with NHS logo - (Not an NHS approved message) TRUTH: NO Extra funding for the NHS from leaving the EU. 
2. £350m isn’t going to the NHS but that doesn’t stop Leave from simultaneously claiming it could go to support the U.K. steel industry. (This targeted add would presumably have gone down well in the parts of areas impacted by industrial decline, a cruel lie) TRUTH: NO £350m P/W
I ran into a rabid Brexiter on my evening walk today. Talked about how happy he was now that UK was leaving the EU. I tried to keep my cool and think I managed to get in a few hard facts, like it’s not the EU forcing a hard border in Ireland #Disinformation #Brexit
The guy happens to be an (unfollowed but not unfriended) FB friend, and he offered me a ride home and said “Please don’t unfriend me.”
He’s decent enough, but very ill informed. I also told him that I’ve never been to a country more ill informed about EU than the UK.

I told him that there had been a massive anti EU disinformation campaign in the UK since the early 1990ies. The lies were so many the EU found it necessary to launch a separate page to debunk it. It has arond 600 entries, I sad.

I have just got back from a week in Berlin. I no longer feel that I am 'home'. There is something so sick, so diseased about Brexitland: the cheating and lying that go unreported and unpunished; the craven behaviour of the BBC that renders it a hideous propaganda machine; the
abject failure of the Opposition to oppose; May's ludicrous, deluded, insulting claims to be 'keeping us united' and this outrageously obdurate determination to kill off democracy and to spit in the faces of our friends...these all combine to leave me feeling very bleak indeed.
In Berlin, I was reminded how amazing it is to be European, what a joy to feel part of this great movement for peace, fraternity and enterprise and how heart-breaking it is to think that a few corrupt bigots and kleptocrats could take this away.I am also depressed by my inability
