New campaign will showcase politicians’ ‘honest’ Brexit statements
Telling: Is the possibility of increased ‘serious organised crime’ post-Brexit the real reason Boris Johnson’s government is boosting (albeit feebly) crimefighting measures?
“Honest” ‘no deal’ Brexit adverts are coming to our billboards courtesy of campaigners Led by Donkeys, to counteract a £100 million “public information campaign” by Boris Johnson.
Critics have labelled BoJob’s plan a propaganda campaign to mislead the public and normalise a chaotic exit from the European Union.
Led By Donkeys have therefore set up their own adverts featuring warnings given by Johnson’s cabinet ministers over the past three years.
Take a look:
Hi @BorisJohnson & @MichaelGove, we heard about your plan to spend £100m on a No Deal advertising campaign. The thing is you're both liars who can’t be trusted to tell the public the truth. So we're doing it for you. More details at https://t.co/GyH03Oa075 (location: Salisbury) pic.twitter.com/P1CF7YrZ9I

Hey Health Secretary @MattHancock, will the govt's £100m No Deal Brexit propaganda blitz include this warning from you? (visit https://t.co/GyH03Oa075 to get these up across the country – this one's in Birmingham) pic.twitter.com/IbVUGXAvkw

Hey @BorisJohnson, just wondering if your £100m No Deal Brexit advertising campaign will include your own government's leaked internal analysis? Asking for a country. (Visit https://t.co/GyH03Oa075 to chip in for more posters – this one's in Cardiff) pic.twitter.com/gXCYFcjgzQ

The lies and corruption just get worse and worse…
So the project fear propaganda campaign rolls endlessly on
Almost everybody who voted to leave, whom I’ve seen in interview, acknowledges and accepts that it will not be plain sailing, that there will be disruption, pain, call it what you will but they all believe it a price worth paying. I’m not sure that such a campaign will change the minds of these people, it will be like preaching to the choir.
I have always said that fear is good, it is sensible but one should not be mastered by it.
