The Out campaign are going to distort, mislead and lie to get Britain out of the EU. That behavior won't just been seen by the In campaign.
True.

It's equally true that those wishing to keep us in have the benefit of far greater power, influence and resources than their opponents both within the UK and in the EU. As a net contributor with a sizeable trade deficit with the EU, they have plenty of '£' shaped reasons for wanting to keep us in whatever it takes. The Eurocrats would also see it as a huge slap in the face if the UK were to leave so there's yet more reasons to do what it takes to keep us in. The same is not true of the other side.
