As often written in the notes to this petition, the influential Red Bus that led to the disastrous 'Leave' vote and its lie of how much it would save the UK if it left the EU has been exposed yet again. The analysis, sadly lacking among so-called Leavers, took a major turn today as the Financial Times reported that 'the value of Britain’s output is now around 0.9 per cent lower than was possible if the country had voted to stay in the EU. That equates to almost exactly £350m a week lost to the British economy — an irony that will not be lost on those who may have backed Leave because of the claim made on the side of the bus.' The FT article continued: 'In the referendum campaign the big red bus was making a different comparison, an incorrect one, about the budgetary costs of the EU to Britain. It suggested Britain contributes almost £18bn a year to the budget, when the net cost in 2016 was calculated by the Treasury to be £8.6bn. And this leaves one last comparison that it is possible to make.' Paul Johnson, director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, says that “for every 1 per cent of GDP you lose, that’s getting on for £10bn a year of foregone tax revenues”. If 0.9 per cent of GDP has been lost over the five quarters for which data exists, there has already been a £9bn hit to the public finances. So even before the UK has left the EU, the referendum result is costing the UK government more than can possibly be recovered by ending net contributions to Brussels. And what does the UK Government do? Appoint Johnson as Foreign Minister..clearly he should be sacked for lying now! Or does the UK follow the USA where lies are an acceptable part of the Trump package? Let's get our country back and get rid of Article 50 and STOP Brexit now!
