"It must therefore follow that the leave campaign was better at lying"

Well they were as bad as each other, and it sticks in the craw to think that bloody Osborne was both a leading light and the biggest liar on our side. The leave side, not through any particular talent, had all the best slogans, the sort of stuff parroted out that appealed to the lowest common denominator, things like take back control, unelected bureaucrats in Brussels, ever-closer union, United States of Europe, immigrants driving down our wages, immigrants putting strain on the NHS, immigration out of control, give sovereignty back to parliament, that sort of thing. They didn't even have to rely on the straightness of cucumbers or the size of duck eggs but I bet they were bloody tempted. In any second referendum they'd still have all those but they'd also have the additional one, the clincher, that remoaners are undemocratic and want to keep having referendums until they get the result they want.
