It was the most blatant exercise in propaganda I think I can ever recall. A truly shocking attempt to scare the public and influence the referendum perpetrated by our own government. Appalling.
I think it could well have been Obama's intervention which swung the vote so I suppose we ought to be grateful to those responsible for underestimating the will of the British people and their refusal to be bullied by smooth talking suits from over there.
If you look at what Osborne is doing now, it's perfectly obvious what his intentions were in the run up to the vote and that was to scare the public into remaining in the EU despite the abject lack of concessions made by them.
