Remember this piece of Leave propaganda from 2016?
Three years on, I thought it was a good time to see how their *claims* panned out, so I've tracked down the photos they used and made memes.
TL;dr — Leave was the real #projectfear!

2016 Leave claim: if you vote Remain we'll have no Parliament, no democratic voice
2019 Parliament is fighting for its sovereignty vs a dictatorial unelected govt intent on smashing our constitution & installing an Orwellian regime to inflict a no-mandate-#NoDealBrexit on us.

2016 Leave claim: if you vote Remain, it'll lead to UK break-up.
2019: #Brexit threatens UK union. 60% of Tory Party members wld rather the UK split than cancel Brexit.
Any sensible govt wld now stop this destructive project & help citizens get a grip on reality. Not this govt!

2016 Leave claim: voting Remain means no more Queen or Royal family
2019: can't see why anyone wld believe this...but if you love the Queen, you shld hate #Brexit, 'cos at the age of 93 it's abt to give her a right royal headache as Johnson drags her into a constitutional crisis

2016 Leave claim: visa-free access to the UK for Turks from 2017
2019: Turkey was never going to join the EU. By 2016 it had negotiated 1 of the 34 chapters of accession. At that rate of progress it wld have taken 561 years of negotiations to join! France would veto it anyway.

2016 Leave claim: EU armed forces, no British
2019: #EUarmy fears are still rampant due to the #LisbonTreatyHoax & occasional pro-#EUarmy pronouncements by foreign leaders. It requires unanimity. To change to MQV also requires unanimity. UK & other EU countries would veto both!

REMINDER: Brexiting on Oct-31 won't be #TheEnd.
Past 3yrs were only the prelude! If we #Brexit in an orderly way (with EUWA), then there'll be years of wrangling over an FTA. If disorderly, make that decades more of Brexit dominating everything.
#RevokeArticle50 = only respite.
