I still remember Wilson's infamous 'pound in your pocket ' speech after devaluation in 1967. He said that the pound would not be worth any less. What he didn't say was that you would get a lot less for it.

TTT, did the Leave Campaign say, "Let's give our NHS the £350 million the EU takes every week" yes or NO?

[naomi24]

This ever-regurgitated claim that the NHS was promised £350 million a week is abject nonsense. Anyone with half a brain knows that the people working on the leave campaign could make any suggestion they saw fit but since they didn’t represent the government they were in no position to promise anything. How difficult is that to understand?

[ToraToraTora]

Yes TCL that's what it said, now let's analyse shall we...

"Let's" - Let us - ie we as a nation
"Give our NHS" - a suggested target for the subject coming in the sentence
"the £350 million the EU takes every week" - so it is suggesting an alternative for the money we give to the EU rather than giving it to the EU. I don't know why that is in any way ambiguous or dishonest.

[Zacs-Master]

Agree with Naomi. Anyone who took the political propaganda as any sort of serious suggestion must have been having some sort of mental episode.

[ToraToraTora]

that's most of the remoaners ZM

[Zacs-Master]

Glad you said ‘most’.

[cassa333]

The £350m for the NHS malarkey is just another of the remainers desperate and confused thinking on why we voted Brexit.

They trot it out like the coming of heaven on Earth by the JWs as if it explained why everyone was duped into voting leave.

You are stuck on the bus with nowhere to go.

With £350m we could better fund old age care or better education or more police or more foreign aid. We could even spread it around all of these. Don’t think the NHS is the only publicly funded department that is in need of money.

Cassa, You truly believe that the £350m is an accurate figure and that we will see the post Brexit spare dosh being used for the purposes you suggest?

[cassa333]

Zac, it doesn’t matter if the figure is £350m or £50 it is the number bandied around, mostly by remainers. Keep up Zac.

[Zacs-Master]

Cassa, the figure was part of the leave campaign’s propaganda. It’s not me who needs to keep up. I’ll ask again, do you think we’ll se the money being used for the purposes you suggest?

[cassa333]

Oh and keep up with this one as well Zac. Once again (as in the bus) they are just suggestions on where it Could go not will go.

Rail, farming, infrastructure, mental health, children’s care. There are numerous places it Could go.

I suspect a chunk will go to the EU for access to at least specific bodies we wish to be a part of though.

[cassa333]

It doesn’t matter Zac what I think they should be used for.
A. One can only use the numbers bandied around. Otherwise one would be making numbers up.
B. One can only make suggestions on where one would like it to go. The government spend our tax £ in ways that I don’t always agree with but they spend it.

[Zacs-Master]

Yes, I know they’re suggestions. I said as much. I’m not really sure why you’re attributing the propaganda to remain voters when it was the leave campaign’s completely inaccurate figure.

[Zacs-Master]

’ It doesn’t matter Zac what I think they should be used for’

It seemed to in your 16:16 post. Why did you bother typing all the suggestions out, if it didn’t matter?

[cassa333]

Because it is remainers that usually use it to try to discredit any claim or vote for leave. As I said, like the JWs proclaiming the coming of heaven on earth, it is trotted out with monotonous regularity by remainers trying to score points. And obviously failing miserably with it because we all know it isn’t accurate

[Spicerack]

Got to remember when discussing that 350m figure.
Our payments went something like this;
2012- £16b
2013- £17b
2014- £18b
2015- £19b
2016- £16b (oops)
2017- £21b
2018- £22b
etc,
sneaky, ain't they.

[Zacs-Master]

Can you point me in the direction of some remain voters using it? It would seem to be a very strange thing for them to do, it being the leave vote propaganda designed to encourage you leave voters to....well.....vote leave. Have you got yourself in a bit of a muddle, again? It’s a complicated subject isn’t it.
