You haven't seen the leaflet, Nigel? Not even when I have invited you by name to look at it several times in this thread? Oh dear.

Never mind, here it is again

Now I freely admit, and did so when I first posted this, that the reverse is much more nuanced. But it is the big print headline occupying the whole of one side that contains the claim.

Now I don't know if you will accept this as a claim - you might think it a fake by someone, perhaps. But if you do accept it, then it follows the only response to comments on the bus that is "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth" is to say "Yes, the Leave campaign did promise to give £350 million a week to the NHS, but not on the bus". Anything else would be saying "The bus didn't claim it" and hoping people assume what you mean is "The Leave campaign didn't claim it" which would be pretty deceitful.

And if the listener didn't know that - you would.
