THEY LIED TO YOU ABOUT BREXIT. HERE IS THE TRUTH.
For years they told you leaving the EU wrecked this country. Labour said it. The Conservatives said it. Project Fear never switched off.
Economist Julian Jessop has gone through the figures. The scare does not survive scrutiny.
The Office for Budget Responsibility predicted a 15% hit to Britain’s trade. It did not happen.
They brandished studies saying Brexit slashed GDP per head by 8%. Jessop says those studies lump Brexit in with Covid and the energy crisis and call the lot “leaving Europe”. Compare us with France and Germany, and Britain has kept pace, as dire as that may be.
His verdict: in macroeconomic terms, Brexit has been a non-event. Relatively little actually changed. The damage they described is not in the data.
“Austerity and Brexit have become convenient scapegoats.”

Project Fear ran for a decade but it was all a lie.
Our economy is not dying because we left the EU. That was the story they needed. They have been gaslighting you, pointing at Brexit so you would not look at the thing you never voted for. Britain and Europe have been changed by mass immigration on a scale no manifesto put to the country. Wages, housing, the NHS, the schools: that is where the pressure is. Not in a trade graph from 2016.
They blamed the vote. They opened the door.
Has mass immigration made your town better, or have you been told to call the damage “diversity” and keep quiet?
PLEASE SHARE, Britain must know the truth.
