The Words of Wisdom of Boris Johnson - Foreign Secretary

Sorry - that I detest the lies coming out of some mouths does not imply any hatred whatsoever.

That Remain might well have exaggerated some of their predictions of what could happen post a Leave vote is now rather besides the point. Some proponents of leaving such as Johnson continue to lie - especially when spinning around the risks of No Deal. That really matters now that we are leaving - remember...?

Exaggerated or not they were still lies!

So I am left feeling can I really take any notice of the current propaganda regarding this is the only deal that'll be on the table...
 
Brilliant - Leavers all told lies. Remainers just exaggerated opinions!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

These are the false claims (lies is a bit strong) from both sides nicely summarised -

I would have to say the NHS £350 Million saving claim was far and away the big claim that swayed voters followed by the Turkey issue (manipulated well by Farage via his infamous poster), know a few myself who were swung on that NHS point in particular. The other points are too technical for most (not all) to bother with. NHS and Turkey plays were a good tactic by Leave though as they worked and sadly people bought it.
The Remain false claims pale in comparison, Think we can all see that no matter what way we voted.....come on be honest now:p

All valid points but both sides have lied.....and some continue to do so! (Where's the FACT fella when we need him!! 😂😂)

I voted out and I am 100% comfortable with why - over 20 years of direct working with EU Commission and officials of other Member States. Not many on here can probably say that.

No. Some leading Leavers told lies about things that were factually known. Some leading Remainers seriously exaggerated what might be.

But as we know - leading Leavers told us that everything that leading Remainers told us was all Project Fear - not to be believed. So leavers voted not being duped by those Remain Project Fear mongers. And still it continues today.

Rubbish - both sides lied.
 
Can we try and determine exactly the point where an exaggeration to deceive the voting public actually becomes a lie?

As detest is a synonym for hate, your own post rather implies that your previous one was born of hatred. Pitiful.

As for leaving, I'll believe it when it happens.

Yep - whether you were in favour of leaving or remaining!! 😉😂😂

However we're now getting into the realms of the Brexit thread and away from the actual purpose of this one which is a continued criticism of Boris!! 😉

Ok, he's a scheming, conniving, duplicitous, mouth breathing, scrotum resembling sack of bile and regret..

How's that?

...is very simple. He says they were lied to - that the lies were believed is not their fault - the toxic anti-EU environment set out by the right wing press and such as Johnson over the last three decades made these lies seem absolutely reasonable, plausible and truthful.

You’ve seen the dictionary definition for exaggeration I posted up. Remain lied too.

As for the above, a perfect example of the condescension I mentioned. You are now saying the Leavers are too thick to spot a lie. That’s arrogant too.

So you won’t accept a dictionary definition of a lie. I wonder who is gullible or the thick one here?
