It's even simple. A public servant was told repeatedly by the Office of National Statistics to stop using incorrect information. He didn't.

“Having considered all the relevant factors, I am satisfied that this is a proper case to issue the summons as requested for the three offenses as drafted,” Judge Coleman said. “This means the proposed defendant will be required to attend this court for a preliminary hearing, and the case will then be sent to the Crown Court for trial.”

What I think has really triggered the hard remainers of the (mostly) liberal, metropolitan left, is that the Leave campaign had the sheer nerve to invoke the sacred name of the NHS on the side of the bus. The NHS, as we know, is a sacred cow, that must not be used to try to persuade voters about anything, except of course if you’re a Labour politician trying to persuade people how nasty Tories are, in which case it’s fair game.

It was a clever ploy which I'm sure you're aware of, Chris. Create a false figure for the contributions higher than we send. Remainers complain about this and all the debate focuses on the contributions we send the EU and not the value and higher GDP we get from being a member.
The NHS was a clever ploy too - use the logo without permission and make it apper that it was being endorsed by the NHS.
