" People can't have been influenced by these quotes in their referendum decisions"
THey refer to specific promises Nigel - you know that as you have described them as "aspirations"
Basically, Brexit was sold on the basis of stopping immigration - that's what won it, economic and social warnings were largely ignored
The overall promise was that by coming out, Britain would be better off
All this quibbling is basically about the fact that that was an "aspiration" and it is fairly obvious that Britain most certainly will not be better off
