I knew it was non binding because many sources told me it was so. I then read the legislation that was open, free and available to everyone and confirmed it was an advisory referendum only. I have known from day 1 that it was so and I am surprised that anyone thought otherwise. If any MPs thought it was legally binding then they are fools. I suspect that, like many other politicians, they are not fools but are lying. Although that is merely my opinion but born out of experience.

I am not talking about campaign slogans when I speak of promises. I am talking about what politicians said. Or lied about. They said they would stop immigration. They said they would spend our EU contribution on the NHS. They said they would abide by the results of the referendum. Which of these lies anyone believes is their own business. From my point of view, I believe none.

If anyone believes one and not the others, I am suspicious of their reasoning.
