You are conflating the situation. Your comment assumes that people take notice of the stuff they read on social media and what they see in advertisements.

I, for one, take no notice at all. People have their opinions on things and advertisements are highly unlikely to sway most individuals.

Again, you cannot have a customs union AND negotiate trade deals. If we cannot do trade deals, it is not Brexit, and not what the majority voted for.

Whether there is scope to agree with Labour a trading arrangement which still allows us to have an independent trade policy remains to be seen.

You have failed to understand my posts.

You can have a customs union for goods and still strike trade deals in services. You are confusing “a” customs union with “the” customs union.

Again, you can’t possibly know what 17.4 million people voted for that wasn’t specified on the ballot paper.

Whether an opinion or expression of FACT is allowed, shouldn't depend on its source.

Literally all around you in life. On the side of buses, taxis, billboards, train stations, newspapers, magazines, televisions and probably the vast majority of websites the average user accesses is the proof.

If advertising doesn’t work why is so much money spent on it at all?
