IT’S easy to criticise lying, but it’s a vital part of Brexit. Here’s six reasons why people shouldn’t get their knickers in a twist about a few blatant untruths.

Brexiters enjoy believing lies

The best bit of Brexit is pretending you’re a plucky Brit standing up to the EU thugs bullying us. That’s a gross distortion of reality, but it’s made a lot of gammons and pensioners happy. Do you want to ruin their fun? Typical selfish Remainer.

It’s not a lie if you cross your fingers

Even a child knows this. So if Boris Johnson had his fingers crossed whenever he said we were sending £350 million a week to the EU then he’s completely in the clear.

Lies are more fun than facts

If I say “In the modern world, lots of people work in other countries” it’s true but boring. Whereas if I say “Do you want to get conscripted into the EU army?” it’s scary and exciting. Remainers need to stop being so prejudiced against lies.

Remain told lies too

Any warning about the bad effects of Brexit that did not happen immediately is clearly a filthy lie. And lies cancel out other lies. That’s just logic, even if Leave’s lies were constant enormous whoppers like ‘Turkey is coming to live here’.

Lying means you’re not a bigot

Believing that the wicked EU makes Britain run a huge trade deficit and strangles small businesses with red tape avoids you having to admit you just dislike foreigners. So lying is actually helping to fight prejudice.

Lies are a magical journey into a world of pure imagination

Money-obsessed Remainers just talk about ‘wrecking the economy’, but we Brexiters prefer to imagine wonderfully creative scenarios like living in a 1950s-style Brexit utopia. A utopia with hanging.
