One was a claim lie made on the side of a bus during the 2016 EU referendum campaign and the other is something Trump came out with yesterday at the press conference and then rowed back on later in an interview.

Corrected it for you

The £350 million issue is a dispute between gross and net figures isn't it?. Approx £350 million is the 'bill', but it's reduced to around £250 million after rebates?.
However many lies did Project Fear tell during the referendum campaign?. We were led to believe everything bar the sky collapsing in was going to befall us if Leave won :lol

[/quote]No No the sky collapsing was also included.
The bus - anyone can understand what was being said and only a person with Asperger syndrome would read it as being "lets give the NHS £350m a week". Yes we get a rebate and it was cheeky counting to include the rebate in the total figure but this was a dirty campaign - after all they were all politicians what do you expect. But the premise is correct we send £250m a week to the EU and THEY then divi it out to who THEY decide to, yes we get some back in the form of grants etc but we have NO CONTROL as to where it goes. All these idiots who say we get money from the EU ----- ITS OUR MONEY WE SENT THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE, so as the bus said - "lets take back control "
