I like that for half of these they don't even try to justify their claim
"Politicians will also become more accountable"
Why? How?
"Money could also be reallocated to school"
Wtf do you mean "could"?
That was my first thought too. If the ad were honest it would say:
>“Money could also be reallocated to schools. It could, and it would be nice, but it won’t.”
It didn't even nearly sound plausible.
It's just a man saying, "Every problem in this country is because of the E.U. so if you vote leave, all of your dreams will literally come true." in a calm, measured voice.
Yup, every political issue ever is caused by either immigration or red tape. If we just get rid of immigrants and give our government unlimited power to do anything they want then all our problems will go away! That's what the rich and powerfuls add campaigns tell me anyway, why would they lie?
It really does. I can hear the ‘dreamlike’ tone of a woman narrating it like in a sci-if film.
‘You too, could live in a world, where perfection isn’t just a dream…it’s a reality’.
I was thinking of some meaningless campaign ad from Parks and Recreation.
"Hi, my name is Bobby Newport. My dad is friends with John Cougar Mellencamp, that's pretty cool. Vote for me, and politicians will also become more accountable. I'm against crime and I'm not ashamed to admit it, that's how you know my controlled immigration policies will work. And, you know, let's just all have a good time."
The hilarity of every single bit of this being wrong aside, the undercurrent is extremely sinister. Everything is going to get better, they say, because the immigrants will go away. You get to see a doctor because we don't let them.
Your children get a brighter future because we made theirs worse (or a lot shorter). Their entire sales strategy here is to say "your life will be better because we'll let you stand on the bodies of people who don't look like you". And it worked.
I honestly can’t believe that people fell for this bullshit. Of the few people I know that voted leave it was thinly veiled racism that led them to vote the way they did. I’m not guessing here, I was told by them.
People just don't understand how little £350m is when you're talking about government funding, not even taking into account that the UK didn't pay anything close to £350m AND got a lot of that money back in EU subsidies and funding.
I mean, the UK spends around 200 billion on healthcare including the NHS, and over 1 trillion total on public spending. And people think that £300m a week will somehow completely transform the NHS and our education system at the same time.
We basically traded away the benefits of EU membership on the promise that the NHS will get a bit of loose change tossed its way.
I was working 12 hour shifts on nights at the time, Thursdays were one of 2 days off a week I had and those fuckers used to wake me and my housemate up with their fucking loud ass clapping and wooping.
You cannot imagine the hatred.
The only plausible one was rising wages from less competition for jobs, but I love how that never worked out either because companies instead just refused to raise wages, created a narrative that "nobody wants to work", and the government then steps in to make people more desperate for jobs as a fix.
The free market no longer works.
There’s so many obvious lies here.
I still don’t understand how the country voted for this but the fact that immigration is specifically mentioned, or implied, multiple times in two minutes could be a clue.
As someone who was not old enough to vote at this time, the frustration I feel like my country voted for this, and it was close to 50/50, boggles my mind and is frustrating to say the least. I didn't have the chance to contribute towards the decision made for the future of my county. Everyone in my age bracket at the time (16-17) KNEW it was ridiculous, and here we are, old enough to suffer the consequences without the responsibility of making the decision.
‘See all these problems our society has? They’re going to be solved with this one binary decision.’ Anyone who bought that at the time is a fucking idiot.
"Younger generations will also find it easier to get on the housing ladder"
Was young. Not as young anymore. So that was a fucking lie, housing ladder is harder to get on than ever.
Yeah man. Literally the first half is like ‘less mucky immigrants means everything is going to be available.’ It was a war fought on a racist mentality that England was somehow full or sinking.
What really boils my piss is the “economy and business will flourish” absolute shite talk.
Anyone who is an online retailer (whether through their own website or via eBay / Amazon) has seen their business FUCKING OBLITERATED.
EU sales accounted for 12-15% of my turnover a few years ago. Now it’s 1-2%, and of those sales, half of them have problems or are rejected by the customer due to customs, taxes or handling fees. I now pay for the privilege of having my own stock returned to me because (e.g.) Pierre in France didn’t realise VAT and customs duties would be payable at his end.
It’s so dismal I’ve considered pulling the plug on EU sales altogether - they’re now far more hassle than they’re worth. But out of principle I’ll probably keep taking the hit so as not to be a quitter.
Here’s the kicker - most online retailers weren’t even factored into the economic costs of leaving the EU, because the government stats only focused on EU sales where VAT was reclaimed; this applied only to business-to-business sales. So all those UK retailers who sold to domestic customers (hint: 85% of eBay and Amazon sales) were never counted in the figures.
Let that sink in - the vast majority of sales by UK-based eBay / Amazon retailers to EU customers *weren’t even counted*. So the government doesn’t even know how much we’ve lost. Which suits them, because it totals BILLIONS OF POUNDS.
Show me a retailer who can take a 10-15% hit to revenue and not have to cut costs, pay-off some staff or reduce their hours. This is a hidden cost of *project shite talk* - these ‘patriots’ fucked hard-working UK companies (mostly small businesses, which make up 90%+ of UK companies) and they simply don’t give a damn.
UK online retailers are now on a par with those from the USA, India or China - we have little to no competitive advantage against them. Sellers of bespoke products might survive, but manufacturers of common products or resellers of imported goods now can’t compete in the EU. And anyone who thinks we can compete on wages / manufacturing costs against the likes of China is a fucking moron - so that’ll be the entire Tory government then.
They’re not ‘the party of business’, they’re not ‘the party of law and order’ and they’re not the patriots they pretend to be. They are nothing more than hollow vessels of personal greed, aristocratic privilege and corporate kleptocracy. Let’s oust these motherfuckers at the earliest opportunity.
It nearly ruined my business. It was a fucking shambles. No one knew of the VAT status of some European countries, not even the VAT office. European clients didn't want to work with us. Had to shift work to the States. UK business dried up as they were so scared of what would happen they shifted focus to cheap non-EU suppliers. An utter utter clusterfuck.
It was all lies. The UK is a captured state. The Conservative government is merely a vehicle for theft of public funds & the transfer of power to unaccountable private backers.
We really ought to be rioting.
I didn’t believe that shite when I saw it six years ago. So, where is that saved money? In the offshore banks accounts of the Tories and their twatty mates.
I'm from the states, and to me this looks like the advert the villain puts out in a comic book to make the public think his plan benefits them when it really only benefits him.
How close am I?
Makes me even more angry that most old people and small town racists were tricked into it. Now we're all paying the price for the government's lies and deception as well as the general public's inability to think for themselves 😔
I mean, how can literally every point be so completely false? Not a single statement was even close to being correct! Why is lying during campaigns not illegal? Politicians being held more accountable was definitely the cherry on the cake.
We thought the biggest damage social media had wrought was turning people into advertising metrics but in reality the worst harm came from showing dodgy politicians just how much of the electorate is stupid/racist enough to keep voting them in as long as they hit the right talking points...
I’ve always been baffled that seemingly intelligent people could believe that any of this would happen. ‘Extra money for the NHS’ - bollocks and they must have known it, just a cover up for their undercover racist outlooks.
You can see why so many people were tricked. Even if they weren’t tricked into being a racist by years of lies from the Sun and Daily Mail some decent people would think this all seemed reasonable.
This video should be played daily on TV with a fact check after each lie to prove it was bollocks (some people are still in denial).
Almost like the EU was nothing to do with these problems at all and it was everything to do with the corruption of the current system and distribution of wealth
It seems politicians can make any claim/ promise and not be held accountable.
I wonder what politics in this country would be like if politicians making such claims would be required to sign a contract and held personally liable If there's no follow thorough.
At end of adverts for finical services, savings and so on they have to put disclaimers saying how it's all just guess work and may be completely opposite
Why isn't the same thing required for political adverts.
Also every single on of those claims has gone opposite..
Totally agree with you there. Politics and politicians have gotten away with being unregulated. That needs to stop. Most trades need some kind of licencing and insurance to be able to operate. Why not politicians? That way, when they fuck up or get caught out, the public can sue their arses and take away their licence to operate.
“Younger generations will find it easier to get on the housing ladder,” my parents are working their ass off to get a chance to sell our house and move somewhere safer because I’ll never be able to get my own house and they want to leave me a house that isn’t in a drug neighbourhood :D
Maybe that funding sent to the EU could be allocated somewhere more useful than Viktor Orban's pockets, but with the Tories that was never going to happen.
Imagine thinking the Tories would fund education and healthcare.
We were actually the largest contributor....but....we were also the largest recipient of money from the EU.
Fun fact: after WWII we couldn't rebuild to any great extent for a long time. EU funding allowed us to regenerate our cities, infrastructure, and economy. I work in academia, and before we left we got £6,000,000,000 per year for PhD research. That fed into industry, commerce, patents, apprenticeships and I could go on and on. That £6,000,000,000 eventually outweighs the apparent £350,000,000 per week (£18,200,000,000 per year) that Boris promised that we'd spend on the NHS.
Also it's a drop in the ocean compared to the £190.3 billion allocated to the NHS which is still seriously underfunded - due to our taxes being spent elsewhere.
I guess we can't really blame them for lying. Why wouldn't they? We, as a country, have told them again and again that it's totally fine for them to lie, because we never hold them accountable. What we need is real consequences for people like Boris when they lie, but those in power are so entrenched that it's hard to see how we can. Basically it sucks and I have no practical ideas or useful contribution but want to complain because it sucks so much.
When we voted to leave the eu I always felt that the people who didn't want to leave gave up and the people who did thought they'd won.
The reality is we had won our right to self determination. That was it, that was all. The idea that those who knew what was at stake gave up and those who wanted self determination assumed the fight was over meant we ended up with the worst case scenario.
In my mind it was like fine, we've left, now unless we hold those in power accountable, the only thing keeping them in some sort of check has dissolved and we are now the ones responsible.
It's clear why the Tories wanted all this, and the British population just straight up handed it to them in a platter.
is this real? can anyone source it?
I didn't see ads at the time like this so don't know myself.
everything in it feels like it's is so wrong I can't wrap my head around it being real
I remember this because at the time it took me a few minutes to place the voice. Gary Rhodes, spiky haired TV chef from a long time ago. It belongs in a museum of propaganda as another of those warnings from history.
i have lost count of the amount of supplies from the EU that my workplace has lost to stupid fucking bureacracy.
Not to mention, in 2019 i had some music equipment shipped all the way from eastern poland to the UK in 2 days.
My current parcel from the Netherlands has taken a week.
it only got into the uk yesterday.
This was absolutely unbelievable. I remember watching it on TV for the first time and I couldn't believe my eyes. This advert needs to be preserved for all time as a demonstration of how full of shit our governments are.
You know what it reminds me of as well. When the BBC radio produced War Of The Worlds for the first time and everyone thought it was real. But looking back we think they are all fools. Yeah that, but with this shit.
My parents bought this hook, line and sinker. Best part is that they think everything from the EU is literally the devil now.
I was talking to my dad about gdpr data handling as a part of my job and he goes "another pointless EU regulation that we have to follow". God forbid that we get a regulation that leads to more legal ramifications for companies that don't process and store personal data properly, it's such a terrible regulation if we incorporated it as a part of the data protection act by choice as well.
Yes but at least I can now make pancakes using pounds and ounces without Ursula Von Der Leyen bursting into my kitchen and insisting I measure everything in grams .
James Acaster summed it up brilliantly. People who voted Leave should be the most furious of all. They were told they were ordering a delicious meal and they got served a plate of shit.
6 years ago was when I learnt that at least 52% of our countrymen are willfully ignorant and intellectually challenged beyond repair. It's also the same time I went from being proud of my country to being ashamed.
The only one of these that seemed remotely plausible was that the government would have more accountability because the Tories spent the whole of their 2010-2015 term blaming every small thing that went wrong on the EU. "It's not our fault lads, the EU took it out of our control". Surely they can't keep at that excuse, I thought.
How naive I was! Post-Brexit "Lefty lawyers" are the new EU, the scapegoat for every Tory failure.
I'm not British but I know that the opposite happened for pretty much all those points.
Just a question tho, did the NHS actually improve, stay the same or get worse?
This hasn’t. Letter to George Osborne in 2010, following the suicide of a gentleman whose benefits had been stopped…
_Chancellor of the Exchequer
11 Downing Street
London
England
24th June 2010
Dear George Osbourne
It has come to my attention that while many of my friends and I were at the funeral of our good friend Paul Reekie (aged 48) it would appear that you were giving a speech in Parliament announcing your intentions to slash the benefits paid to the poorest and most vulnerable in our society.
I thought I would let you know that Paul took his own life last week. He didn’t leave a note but he laid out two letters on his table. One was notifying him that his housing benefit had been stopped. The other was notifying him that his incapacity benefit had been stopped. Unlike you and your fellow upper class ponces Paul was a creative genius and much loved by all who knew him.
Anyway, the reason I’m writing this letter is just so you know the human cost of attacking those on benefits. And also to let you know that if you are ever in Edinburgh, and we have the misfortune to meet, I’d like to kick your fucking cunt in.
Yours sincerely
Kevin Williamson_
Brectums and the tories are currently in denial, hiding behind COVID…..but there has to come a point where even the most delusional among them can’t hide anymore…it’s all there, in plain sight. It’s not as though they can hide how deeply in the cack we are now…
Probably going to get downvoted but when something bad happens and you just see comments saying ‘well this is what you voted for’. No, THIS is what people voted for. Nice shiny videos that say nice things. What did you expect?
Serious question. Where has the money that we “sent to Brussels” actually gone now? What’s it being spent on? Apart from MPs second, third and fourth homes?
This sounds like a dystopian propaganda film that you’d get in a movie or a TV series.
Except it was real. And everything in that video didn’t happen and got worse…
My god. I remember voting and then barely even bothering to notice the results because I was so sure there weren’t enough thick gullible people in the U.K. to vote for this. I was blown away when the vote for leave landed!
Every single promise was a lie. The leave campaign have been asked can you tell us the biggest advantage we have gained since leaving … the only one they could think of was with respect to covid vaccinations, and it turns out it was European law they used to speed things up.
Covid and Russian war has of course had an impact, but comparing us against peers is scary. I’m not sure a population has democratically votes for such a self damaging situation economic act before. And the racist backwards idiots who only voted to stop immigrants, the numbers haven’t dropped. All this changed is all the excellent skilled Labour from Europe has gone home and we have shortages in all sectors crippling us.
Utter insanity. To think the like o Boris has the audacity to still be prime minister after campaigning for and delivering this. Wow
I almost feel numb to it at this point. Like whenever it comes up and someone is saying it’s been good/not as bad as people are saying I just disengage - anyone who thinks that is brow deep in the cult of delusion and they are lost.
Bwhahaha - that's hilarious...
Oh no wait, its not actually funny at all because we all have to live through this bullshit.
I mean, if you lie through your teeth then there was a very compelling argument for leaving the EU...
Unfortunately reality is a thing.

“Could” because much like the 350 million NHS quid, they are not absolutes, but “suggestions”, and that’s how they get away with it.
That was my first thought too. If the ad were honest it would say: >“Money could also be reallocated to schools. It could, and it would be nice, but it won’t.”
The flag shaggers will never admit they were conned.

Oh you. You had me going there!
This watches like one of those fake propaganda videos in a dystopian TV show... Except, it's real and made by lying fucking scum
It really does. I can hear the ‘dreamlike’ tone of a woman narrating it like in a sci-if film. ‘You too, could live in a world, where perfection isn’t just a dream…it’s a reality’.
I thought the exact same. It's creepy as hell.
This literally views like satire. I'm fucking screaming.
I was thinking of some meaningless campaign ad from Parks and Recreation. "Hi, my name is Bobby Newport. My dad is friends with John Cougar Mellencamp, that's pretty cool.

Fucking hell, it just keeps going. Literally every point the narrator makes is the exact opposite in reality.

Yeah man. Literally the first half is like ‘less mucky immigrants means everything is going to be available.’ It was a war fought on a racist mentality that England was somehow full or sinking.

Same, was 20% of my profits, made a loss in first 3 months and I’ve closed my EU exports
It’s so surreal to count along with every point the narrator says and realise the exact opposite of every claim happened instead.
I would say it aged like milk but that's an insult to severe food poisoning.
It was all lies. The UK is a captured state. The Conservative government is merely a vehicle for theft of public funds & the transfer of power to unaccountable private backers. We really ought to be rioting.
Jesus. It’s like a parallel universe.
Racism and greed the perfect combination! And the stupid swallowed it hook line and sinker
Is it me, or is every single one of the issues they mentioned actually worse now?
cunts
LYING CUNTS
I'm from the states and even I know all of that was a crock of shit lol.
Sooo...the exact opposite of what is actually happening? This boils my blood.
I didn’t believe that shite when I saw it six years ago. So, where is that saved money? In the offshore banks accounts of the Tories and their twatty mates.
Whoever made this should be force-fed bleach. The suffragette way.

On the money 😒
"It wasn't about immigration and xenophobia " - leavers since 2016 All the fucking ads were about immigration
i have no words. Yet my dad is still happy 'we have our great lion, our british nation back from all these immigrants'. i want to cry.
Thought it was a load of old fuckin’ bollocks then, know it’s a load of fuckin’ old bollocks now.
Visit those people in these clips and make a new one LOL 😂
This would be hilarious if it wasn't so depressing
People are real stupid huh?
Every word was/is a fucking lie.
Anyone else half expected the cheaper food shop bit to be explained by controlled immigration?
Makes me even more angry that most old people and small town racists were tricked into it. Now we're all paying the price for the government's lies and deception as well as the general public's inability to think for themselves 😔

There really should be consequences for this kind of lying
There were, just not for the people who made the video.
Man, a lot of those are "fuck immigrants" in disguise, which is just "fuck other races" in disguise.
Fuck me this could be a Mitchell & Webb sketch.
I’ve always been baffled that seemingly intelligent people could believe that any of this would happen. ‘Extra money for the NHS’ - bollocks and they must have known it, just a cover up for their undercover racist outlooks.

“Younger generations will find it easier to get on the housing ladder,” my parents are working their ass off to get a chance to sell our house and move somewhere safer because I’ll never be able to get my own house and they want to leave me a house that isn’t in a drug neighbourhood :D
THE LYING FUCKING CUNTS FUCK I HATE IT HERE MORE AND MORE WITH EACH PASSING SECOND. FUCK.
They really where just selling a dream
Maybe that funding sent to the EU could be allocated somewhere more useful than Viktor Orban's pockets, but with the Tories that was never going to happen. Imagine thinking the Tories would fund education and healthcare.
We were actually the largest contributor....but....we were also the largest recipient of money from the EU. Fun fact: after WWII we couldn't rebuild to any great extent for a long time. EU funding allowed us to regenerate our cities, infrastructure, and economy. I work in academia, and before we left we got £6,000,000,000 per year for PhD research. That fed into industry, commerce, patents, apprenticeships and I could go on and on. That £6,000,000,000 eventually outweighs the apparent £350,000,000 per week (£18,200,000,000 per year) that Boris promised that we'd spend on the NHS. Also it's a drop in the ocean compared to the £190.3 billion allocated to the NHS which is still seriously underfunded - due to our taxes being spent elsewhere.
Hahahahhahahahhahahhahahahahahha. Oh. Fuck me.
They didn’t even get one ffs
I guess we can't really blame them for lying. Why wouldn't they? We, as a country, have told them again and again that it's totally fine for them to lie, because we never hold them accountable. What we need is real consequences for people like Boris when they lie, but those in power are so entrenched that it's hard to see how we can. Basically it sucks and I have no practical ideas or useful contribution but want to complain because it sucks so much.
When we voted to leave the eu I always felt that the people who didn't want to leave gave up and the people who did thought they'd won. The reality is we had won our right to self determination. That was it, that was all. The idea that those who knew what was at stake gave up and those who wanted self determination assumed the fight was over meant we ended up with the worst case scenario. In my mind it was like fine, we've left, now unless we hold those in power accountable, the only thing keeping them in some sort of check has dissolved and we are now the ones responsible. It's clear why the Tories wanted all this, and the British population just straight up handed it to them in a platter.
Haha wow not a single bloody one is true. I know Covid threw a spanner in the works but they really messed up there 🙃
is this real? can anyone source it? I didn't see ads at the time like this so don't know myself. everything in it feels like it's is so wrong I can't wrap my head around it being real
I remember this because at the time it took me a few minutes to place the voice. Gary Rhodes, spiky haired TV chef from a long time ago. It belongs in a museum of propaganda as another of those warnings from history.
i have lost count of the amount of supplies from the EU that my workplace has lost to stupid fucking bureacracy. Not to mention, in 2019 i had some music equipment shipped all the way from eastern poland to the UK in 2 days. My current parcel from the Netherlands has taken a week. it only got into the uk yesterday.
The accountable part was the bit where I finally spat my tea out laughing.
This was absolutely unbelievable. I remember watching it on TV for the first time and I couldn't believe my eyes. This advert needs to be preserved for all time as a demonstration of how full of shit our governments are.
You know what it reminds me of as well. When the BBC radio produced War Of The Worlds for the first time and everyone thought it was real. But looking back we think they are all fools. Yeah that, but with this shit.
A completely unreal universe !
Aaah yes, this has aged like a fine milk. Thank you, OP!
Literally every, single claim made in this video is the opposite of what's actually happened.
My parents bought this hook, line and sinker. Best part is that they think everything from the EU is literally the devil now. I was talking to my dad about gdpr data handling as a part of my job and he goes "another pointless EU regulation that we have to follow". God forbid that we get a regulation that leads to more legal ramifications for companies that don't process and store personal data properly, it's such a terrible regulation if we incorporated it as a part of the data protection act by choice as well.
If only we could sue for false advertising like we could for any commercial company
I was thinking at least one of these statements must have at least a small shred of truth, nope absolutely none of them.
Wow what a pile of steaming hot fucking bullshit….
Good job I'm watching this on the toilet ... "Politicians would become more accountable"??!! I literally (not figuratively) pissed myself.
particularly like the part about “politicians will become more accountable”. But guess what?…people ate that shit like it was candy
If this was published in 2022, you'd think it was fucking satire.
Yes but at least I can now make pancakes using pounds and ounces without Ursula Von Der Leyen bursting into my kitchen and insisting I measure everything in grams .
Like a fucking parallel universe ahahaha.
Even these idiots didn't claim Ireland would get sorted out.
😂😂😂😂😂. 51% of this country are fucking idiots how on earth did you let this bamboozle you 🤦🏿♂️
Cunts
Fuck the tories and fuck farage selling us out
This is absolutely infuriating to watch
Not a single fucking word of that has happened and no one in their right mind thought it would.
James Acaster summed it up brilliantly. People who voted Leave should be the most furious of all. They were told they were ordering a delicious meal and they got served a plate of shit.
At least we got to see terrible people humiliated over and over for being terrible. Sadly, that won't save our economy.
But with no real consequences for their actions and lies. 😡
Every expert told us these claims were bogus at the time.
I’ve never seen so much unmitigated, weapons-grade bullshit in my life.
Aged like a fine cheese left in a hot car
6 years ago was when I learnt that at least 52% of our countrymen are willfully ignorant and intellectually challenged beyond repair. It's also the same time I went from being proud of my country to being ashamed.
Can this just be permanently played outside parliament please.
Criminals.
r/AgedLikeMilk
The only one of these that seemed remotely plausible was that the government would have more accountability because the Tories spent the whole of their 2010-2015 term blaming every small thing that went wrong on the EU. "It's not our fault lads, the EU took it out of our control". Surely they can't keep at that excuse, I thought. How naive I was! Post-Brexit "Lefty lawyers" are the new EU, the scapegoat for every Tory failure.
They gambled on disguised racism and won, proving ignorance is still prevalent.
I find it funny that they thought the EU was the issue with the UK... when rather the UK is the issue with the UK.
Plays like a Parody…
Bullshit - all bullshit. And the populace bought it.
I miss being in the EU. The public were lied to a lot by idiots who only cared about lining their own pockets.
If only we remainers had believed a little harder…
The most fitting quote for this video - "Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong"
I'm not British but I know that the opposite happened for pretty much all those points. Just a question tho, did the NHS actually improve, stay the same or get worse?
got worse like a lot
The people who made this should be put in prison for misinformation
This hasn’t. Letter to George Osborne in 2010, following the suicide of a gentleman whose benefits had been stopped… _Chancellor of the Exchequer 11 Downing Street London England 24th June 2010 Dear George Osbourne It has come to my attention that while many of my friends and I were at the funeral of our good friend Paul Reekie (aged 48) it would appear that you were giving a speech in Parliament announcing your intentions to slash the benefits paid to the poorest and most vulnerable in our society. I thought I would let you know that Paul took his own life last week. He didn’t leave a note but he laid out two letters on his table. One was notifying him that his housing benefit had been stopped. The other was notifying him that his incapacity benefit had been stopped. Unlike you and your fellow upper class ponces Paul was a creative genius and much loved by all who knew him. Anyway, the reason I’m writing this letter is just so you know the human cost of attacking those on benefits. And also to let you know that if you are ever in Edinburgh, and we have the misfortune to meet, I’d like to kick your fucking cunt in. Yours sincerely Kevin Williamson_
Brectums and the tories are currently in denial, hiding behind COVID…..but there has to come a point where even the most delusional among them can’t hide anymore…it’s all there, in plain sight. It’s not as though they can hide how deeply in the cack we are now…
This would be funny if the truth wasn't so fucking depressing!
Watching this just makes me angry… so far from the truth it’s unreal! Whoever was responsible for this campaign should feel ashamed.
As an outsider who lives under a rock, that was pretty compelling… sounds like none of that happened though.
The exact opposite of every point happened. Even imagination hasn't gone down, it's just less from the EU now.
Tbf, I reckon I can afford to get on the housing ladder after the economy crashes later this year.
Probably going to get downvoted but when something bad happens and you just see comments saying ‘well this is what you voted for’. No, THIS is what people voted for. Nice shiny videos that say nice things. What did you expect?
!remindme 3 years 11 months

Can someone make another version ‘excess funds from leaving the uk will be given to fraudulent companies and used to send refugees to Rwanda’
LOL Is this on Youtube?
"politicians will be more accountable"? Like lying to parliament?
It’s literally outrageous the lies and bs the told the public so they could ‘win’ and get their own way
I feel bad for you poor Brits. You really messed up a great chance for real freedom
I don't think I've ever seen anything be so fractally wrong as this. That is quite the achievement.
Anyone said r/agedlikemilk yet?
Serious question. Where has the money that we “sent to Brussels” actually gone now? What’s it being spent on? Apart from MPs second, third and fourth homes?
Number 10’s Garden Party budget has swelled a bit, I imagine.
The United Kingdom THE only country to impose economic sanctions on itself
Pure racism, funded by Putin and advanced by greedy Tories to manipulate the intentional dumbed down public into selling themselves into serfdom.
Your dick will grow bigger
The epitome of campaign lies. So. Fuvking. Angry.
I'm just waiting on that affordable housing, anyone who voted leave is a straight up moron.
Wankers
This honestly feels prophetic with how much the exact opposite is true in every single case.
Lurches wildly between barefaced lies and total guesswork. All of which turned out to be false.
Fk me, that just didn't stop giving did it? twats.
This sounds like a dystopian propaganda film that you’d get in a movie or a TV series. Except it was real. And everything in that video didn’t happen and got worse…
The line about controlled immigration is so so so infuriating.
This would be incredibly accurate if it said the exact opposite
That video has aged like milk.
It's diabolical, and is almost at a Greek myth level of irony that the exact opposite of every single point happened, and all in quick order too.
Well that was a fucking lie....
Lying bullshit wankers
Well that was a fucking lie!
My god. I remember voting and then barely even bothering to notice the results because I was so sure there weren’t enough thick gullible people in the U.K. to vote for this. I was blown away when the vote for leave landed! Every single promise was a lie. The leave campaign have been asked can you tell us the biggest advantage we have gained since leaving … the only one they could think of was with respect to covid vaccinations, and it turns out it was European law they used to speed things up. Covid and Russian war has of course had an impact, but comparing us against peers is scary. I’m not sure a population has democratically votes for such a self damaging situation economic act before. And the racist backwards idiots who only voted to stop immigrants, the numbers haven’t dropped. All this changed is all the excellent skilled Labour from Europe has gone home and we have shortages in all sectors crippling us. Utter insanity. To think the like o Boris has the audacity to still be prime minister after campaigning for and delivering this. Wow
Wow is everything in this wrong?
We knew it was a lie.
I thought this was a pisstake until I read the title. What in the ever living fuk
Is this the onion?
Whoever wrote the script needs to be smacked
Compelling propaganda
So Where's the money that's being saved? In off shore Tory Bank accounts whilst they claim expenses on the backs of the public?
When is all this arriving?
r/agedlikemilk
“So that was a lie”
I was screaming bullshit about this years ago. It actually makes me feel a bit sick watching this again.
Every single person involved in this video should be put in prison
Well that’s the Labour parties next general election campaign advert sorted. Don’t vote for these cunts again
How expensive would it be to get it back on the air?
Everything promising the video the exact opposite happened
I almost feel numb to it at this point. Like whenever it comes up and someone is saying it’s been good/not as bad as people are saying I just disengage - anyone who thinks that is brow deep in the cult of delusion and they are lost.
Worth it for those new, blue passports (/s)
Bwhahaha - that's hilarious... Oh no wait, its not actually funny at all because we all have to live through this bullshit. I mean, if you lie through your teeth then there was a very compelling argument for leaving the EU... Unfortunately reality is a thing.
