Crowdfunding to sue dishonest leave campaign

[Sun Wukong]

Not sure how I feel about this.

I don't think leaving the EU would be the worst thing in the world, actually, but the way the campaign was ran was genuinely monstrous.

And I felt that from the other side of the world. I genuinely feel sorry for you poor buggers sat in the whirlwind.

Anyway, take a look at this. Looks pretty professional, and most of the way to target already.

I might bung in a tenner myself About time someone held the lying vermin to account.

I agree, that is the shady part of it.

However, it is true that the public was denied informed consent, and that there was encitement of racial tension.

Not ideal.

As I said in the original post, I don't feel leaving the EU would be the worst thing, but British people have next to zero faith in their politicians.

Taking a few of them outside and shooting them, proverbially, might help bring back some integrity to the utter shambles.

£100k to sue politicians is laughable.

The cost would run into the millions.

[groovylee]

[Matt B]

£81,345 to date.

I am constantly amazed at the utter gullibility of the general public.

I think it's more about the blatant retractions of promises made once the campaign was complete.

The campaign on the remain side wasn't great, but that was more down to incompetence rather than outright lies. Bad things will happen when we initiate article 50, I have no doubt of that.

However, there really is no chance that the money that we send to the EU will immediately go to the NHS. We get money back from the EU for science funding, local development grants, local government grants etc, so I'm assuming most of the money we send to the EU would have to be redirected to those places anyway. The £350m a week figure has been widely refuted due to the rebate too.

However, if anything the remain campaign arguments were too optimistic, and basically as we will have no trade deals to speak of and will have to revert to WTO rules... we're fucked. So why not campaign to reverse the misinformed and xenophobic decision? Yeah, in ten years or so we *might* be better off than we are now, but to be honest in terms of trade and the shape of the overall economy right now we've never had it so good, and if we leave the EU now, we'll never have it this good again... At least not within the short to medium term.

It won't work.

Gordon Brown / Labour made a promise about a referendum on the Lisbon/Nice treaty.


Gordon Brown's defence at the time was "Election promises and pledges are not subject to legitimate expectation."


It essentially went back to old contract law. Whereby unless there is a specific relationship where there is a formal contract of sorts or compensation then there is no expectation for either party to be held liable if one of the parties does not meet their obligations.

This is similar to say investment advice in newspapers or horse betting tips on various forms of media. Due to the fact that it is general advice and you don't pay for it nor do you have a direct contract with those who make the promises.

Kind of like how advice is given on BCF and you're expected to do your own research and nor is anybody held to be liable until a certain level of interaction is made.

It's completely null.

Let me make this a little simpler for the simple folk.

The UK import around £12.5bn a month more than they sell into the EU.

Do you really think these EU countries would want the EU bureaucrats to hang about for years to get a deal sorted? Of course not.

We are in the driving seat and have the upper hand in trade deal negotiations, so if anyone stalls, it will be us.

There will also be a template deal for most other countries that they will fall over themselves to sign, it makes no sense not to.

Using the complicated Switzerland deal as a case in point is pretty poor form.

Take a look, they are aiming to have the deals done on Brexit. I am sure these people know a bit more than us.
