No we weren't that's simply not true.
In the referendum we had ...
1. Media - BBC, Sky News - all in favour of remain
2. Media - Observer, Guardian, Standard, Sun, Mirror, Telegraph, Star - all in favour of remain.
3. Conservative leadership - remain
4. Labour leadership - remain
5. SNP - remain
6. Green Party - remain
7. George Osbourne telling us that if we even voted "leave" there would be 800,000 people unemployed and there would need to be an emergency budget of 3 Billion because of "Brexit Shock".
8. Threats by the banks to leave the UK and move to Frankfurt (Deutsche Bank later apologised)
9. Barrack Obama telling the UK we would be at the "back of the queue" when it came to a trade deal.
10. Leo Varadkar - no UK planes allowed to fly over Europe
11. Bloomberg - threatening to move everything to Frankfurt (then opening his 1 billion europe HQ in London)
etc.
We still voted leave.... and the remainers say we didn't know what we were voting for ? I find this absolutely absurd because the remainers and their project fear kept telling us what would happen if we did.
Leave - 350 million on the side of the red bus .... delivered in the Autumn statement by Phillip Hammond and increased to 394 million a week.
It's quite hilarious how Project Fear got everything wrong.....
