Subject: RE: BS: A new political low take 2
DMcG and Raggtytash are both absolutely right. I care not a jot who coined the £350 million per week bus slogan or the suggestion that the money could or should go to the NHS. Farage and his party were more than happy to be associated with those lies. There was no retraction, apart from wriggling when pressed, until after the vote was in the bag. Whether the slogan was initially uttered by Farage is completely irrelevant. What is relevant is that he has a very big mouth and was more than capable of dismissing the slogan as lies. Which he didn't. The perpetuation of the lie was right up his street.
