I recently published a thread looking at #LeaveLies. Not surprisingly, I got responses that "both sides lied". After a bit of to & fro, @Jamiepembs kindly sent me some links which demonstrated #RemainLies

The 1st link was, on the surface, a little disappointing. It appeared to just make the assertion that "Campaigners on both sides of the EU Referendum made false claims" with no evidence of either #RemainLies or #LeaveLies

If you look carefully in that page, you'll see a link to a comparison of the Vote Leave & Stronger In leaflets. The 1st thing I noted was that the Leave list was longer, but I'm here to look into #RemainLies. This is an image, but the individual links are included below 3/18
I thought I'd have a look at the FB targeted ads that have recently been published. We know that VL told porkies, but I wanted to see how much of their campaign was untruthful.
It seems that it was pretty much all of it. #VoteLeaveLied

Here's a sample of the worst offenders 1/17
We know that they targeted groups with their own special trigger messages & we know that they lied about the EU budget contribution (gross of £225m/wk, net £203m/wk), but £350m wasn't just on the bus ... it was pretty much everywhere in their ads 2/17
It started in their data capture con they used to get your information (Trump had Kogan & CA, VL used their £50m competition)
£50m/day = £350m/wk 3/17
