May takes credit for EU directive on card charges – another ‘Leave’ lie?

Facepalm: Theresa May is a victim of her own stupidity – she still hasn’t realised that we can tell when she’s lying.

This is just a flat-out lie from the Conservative government.

They would not have banned credit card charges today (January 13) if not for an EU directive which comes into effect today. See for yourself:

All the Conservative government has done is ratify the EU law, so it applies here in the UK.

And here’s a question: When (if?) Brexit comes into effect on March 29, 2019, will the Tories cancel this law, pushing the cost back onto the consumer?

Of course, hawks on the social media weren’t going to let Mrs May get away with it:

But here’s an interesting comment:

Is this announcement simply an attempt to justify Brexit?

Is Theresa May trying to use ‘nudge’ technique to make us think the UK government is helping people rather than the EU?

And is she doing this to make fools of us – using a lie to convince us that leaving the EU is a good idea?

It could be argued that a single example of this behaviour is not indicative; that more evidence is needed. So…

This one:

QED?

    What else would you expect from a remainer they have done nothing but lie, and May is most certainly a remainer.

      Mrs May is in the process of taking us out of the EU, Barry.
      You’ve got yourself backwards again.
      It’s the Leave camp that lies, and Mrs May is a member of that group (at the moment, at least).
