The whole world knows we were lied to during the referendum campaign

The whole world knows we were lied to by the Leave campaign in the EU referendum. In the European parliament Guy Verhofstadt, a dutch MEP and former prime minister (HERE) told Nigel Farage they had all seen the "lies" about the £350m that did not exist.

Now the Washington Post is telling its readers the Brexit leaders are beginning to "walk back" from their promises (HERE).  I didn't realise how the foreign press had covered the EU referendum until now. It looks as if we, or at least many of those who voted leave, are the last to see that we were lied to and duped.

The terrible thing about this is that many, perhaps even most, of the leave supporters will not care. Ian Duncan Smith claimed he personally never said that £350m would go to the NHS although the press have pictures of him in front of the bus proclaiming this uneqivocally to the entire nation. Daniel Hannan didn't think anyone had been led to believe immigration was going to come down.  Worse are those people on the leave side who are now condemning racist attacks but failed to condemn UKIPs refugee poster with Nazi undertones, at the time, presumably because it was to their advantage.

The parliamentarian Edmund Burke once said, "The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do [and say] nothing".  They knew the campaign was lying to the British people but remained silent.  Shame on them.
