WHAT VOTE LEAVE SAID - About the attitude of business to Brexit

In my series about the misleading stuff from the Vote Leave bible (HERE) I look back to what they said about various things in order to persuade people to vote to leave the EU. Today I want to look at what they said about the banks. If you want to see for yourself and you have a few days of your life to waste you can find the 1000 page tome, written in 2015 HERE. The helpful Q & A section begins on page 944. Two years on and with the vote in the bag and negotiations underway, we can look back on what was said and compare it with reality.

WHAT VOTE LEAVE SAID - About tax after Brexit

The CEO of Vote Leave, Matthew Elliot, produced a huge 1000 page tome in 2015 while working for the pro-Brexit lobby group Change or Go. It was a considerable work with a lot of contributors and I tend to think of it as the Leave campaign's bible. Masochists among you can see it HERE. At the end (page 944) there was a helpful Q & A section and now, two years on, with the vote in the bag and negotiations underway, we can look back on what was said and compare it with reality. There is quite a difference in many cases.

WHAT VOTE LEAVE SAID - About our credit rating

The CEO of Vote Leave, Matthew Elliot, produced a huge 1000 page tome in 2015 while working for the pro-Brexit lobby group Change or Go. It was a considerable work with a lot of contributors and I tend to think of it as the Leave campaign's bible. Masochists among you can see it HERE. At the end (starting on page 944) there was a helpful Q & A section and now, two years on, with the vote in the bag and negotiations underway, we can look back on what was said and compare it with reality.

VOTE LEAVE'S MISLEADING BIBLE

Matthew Elliot was the CEO of the Vote Leave campaign, the official one that received government funding. Before that he ran another pro Brexit group Business for Britain, where in 2015, he produced a very long, comprehensive and professional looking tome called Change or Go, amounting to more than a thousand pages setting out what was wrong with the EU and why we should leave. It also painted a bright if rather misleading picture of Britain's post Brexit future.
