Their source of information is heavily biased, by them.Its the government who should be embarrassed they lied they are about to find out how little those voters who trusted them think of those lies and how Brexit has turned out when Labour win a super-majority next Thursday.

1 - 'The money saved from leaving the EU will result in the NHS getting £350m a week'
One of the most prominent claims made by the Leave campaign was that the UK would take back £350m a week once it had left the EU – with the sum going to the NHS.
The UK Statistics Authority has since said this was a “clear misuse of official statistics” – most notably because the figure did not take into account the money the UK gets back from the EU after paying into the budget.
2 - 'A free-trade deal with the EU will be 'the easiest thing in human history'
3 - ‘Two thirds of British jobs in manufacturing are dependent on demand from Europe’
4 - 'Turkey is going to join the EU and millions of people will flock to the UK'
5 - 'Brexit will lead to Scotland renewing calls for independence'
6 - 'Brexit does not mean the UK will leave the single market'
Full details of all six can be found here
What I don't understand is the trade deficit. The UK has had a trade deficit with the EU for over 20 years. On top of that there is the 2.5 million GBP (net) that was paid into the coffers of the EU every week so not only losing out on the balance of trade but giving the EU the 2.5 million for the pleasure of doing so!
On the other hand, the UK has a trade surplus with those countries outside of the EU, so what is the benefit of being in the EU?
It's worth taking a look at the top 10 of the world economies by 2050, the UK doesn't come out of it too shabbily, it has to be expected there is going to be a change in the economic order by 2050. It's better to hold your nerve and don't fold to rejoining the EU argument. That is if there is still going to be an EU in 2050
