But I don't agree it applied to the 'suggestion' Boris and Gove made.
Nor do I agree with Lord Sugar's assertion that criminal records have to issued. It's remainers desperation and clutching at straws because they struggle to accept, they lost.

The obvious lie resides in the first sentence. It was a lie to say we send £350m a week to the EU when the true figure is £250m or less. This was exasperated by their not correcting it when told. You accept that £350m was wrong "I'm well aware of the true figure" which implies you accept the £350m was a lie.
As to the suggestion that it go instead t the NHS, some marketing materials painted this as a suggestion, some painted it as an explicit promise. The more centrally-controlled the promotional materials, the vaguer the promise!
