  1. The Brexit lies were that we weren't in charge of our own country because we were directed strictly by the European government. Not true at all
  2. We were told that our borders were weak, so leaving Europe would give us back control. Actually without Europe doing our protection for us, the borders are weaker.
  3. We we were paying so much to Europed that we would be better of by hundreds of millions per week. Actually that's at least how much worse off we are as a direct result.
  4. There were oven ready deals to be had if we left the EU, with countries queing up to do business with the UK. There was exactly fuck all by way of meaningful deals. We lost access to the EU buying discounts too, so everything was more expensive and all the EU grants that we relied upon dissapeared.

There is more, but have made myself cross typing this out and thinking of all the lies and all the silly people who believed it.
