Thanks, appreciated this analysis. Charles Grant’s analysis at the Centre for European Reform (http://www.cer.org.uk/insights/how-leave-outgunned-remain-battle-five-ms) is about as clear as could be on this point, specifically accusing the two people who directed the Leave campaign of lying.

It’s curious that in British politics & journalism you can campaign using factual untruths without sanction, but in business there are specific legal prohibitions from using factually incorrect statements in commercial advertising.As we all go about building the brave new world in which we now live, I wonder if we should have a go at fixing that?
