Top Cats Hat Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 No details yet, but news is coming in that the National Crime Agency is carrying out a criminal investigation into one or more of the Leave campaigns arising from their behaviour during the 2016 referendum.

I1L2T3 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Let’s not forget how closely linked Farage is to Banks. Farage for 20 years has been the leading politician calling for Brexit. This should be hugely significant, but let’s also not forget that May and her government will have been aware that there was wrongdoing all along, maybe even before A50 was triggered. It’s Mays head on the block too, and because of that I’m not sure I trust we’ll have the correct outcome. We’ll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh come on now.. Did the £6 million that Cameron spent on leafleting every household in the UK to vote remain sway the voters? The only difference here is Cameron got his done before the referendum spending rules came into force. The remain campaign also had several millions in funding donated from big players, some based in the USA also before the rules came into force.

The leaflet the government put out had absolutely nothing to do with remain campaigns. It was separate, funded by the government to set out the government’s position. Perfectly reasonable. You’re conflating government information with separate political campaigns. Try and be more honest next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try and be more honest next time and it was legal, on the other hand this latest news (if true) could in effect be illegality, which should, you would think deem the result null and void as illegality has played a part in it? ---------- Post added 01-11-2018 at 17:59 ---------- Oh come on now..

The large amounts of Project Fear contained in the taxpayer funded government leaflet definitely frightened the more weak and cowardly voters into supporting the EU gravy train being driven by Goldman Sachs.

You seem to be suggesting that one lot of 'dodgy money' cancels out the other. Two lots of dodgy money do not cancel each other out, they discredit the whole exercise.

The thing is.....most of it is coming true The things the leaflet warned about have translated into genuine planning by the government.
