"better" in notchspeak meaning "full of lies and deceit"
And now the Brexit Omnishambles is unravelling like the lies of a window salesman.
You can fool 52% of the people 52% of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.

I am not suggesting anything. I don't know why you are so fond of trying to put words in my mouth.
I wonder where the remain camp were with their "Under EU rules, EU citizens have the right etc" posters to counteract the lies were.
Don't get me wrong, this is an interesting post, it's shocking what went on. I just wish you didn't bang on about racists for people who have, rightly or wrongly, concerns about immigration. Perhaps had they been better informed from the start, the type of lies told in those posters wouldn't have worked so well.
There is an element of truth in this imo.
Some of the people who voted for Brexit were racists.
Some of the anti-immigrant people are racists.
Does that surprise you?
Do you want to deny it?
Who do you think the Leave campaign were trying to attract with this lying advert?

I have not denied it.
I have not claimed that all Quitters are Racists.
I can, however, say that I have not yet come across a racist who is not a Quitter.

According to you, racists.
According to many other, more level-headed people, anyone who was concerned about immigration.

It was still trying to scare them into more intense anti-immigrant, anti-foreigner sentiments. And it obviously worked.
In which case, if they are so gullible, they can hardly be called "level headed".
Not to mention the other lies.
I am not suggesting anything. I don't know why you are so fond of trying to put words in my mouth. What a coincidence that they didn't mention the 81million people in Germany, which, unlike Turkey, actually IS a member of the EU. There must be something about Turkey that makes it more frightening to Quitters than Germany. So much so that it outweighs the fact that Turkey has a smaller population; and is not a member of the EU; and any existing member of the EU (such as the UK, or any of the others) can veto its application, if, in some far-distant days, it becomes a country that meets the EU eligibility standards.
Why do YOU think that the Leave advert homed in on Turkey?
I expect they raised awareness of a country with a terrible human rights record were trying to join the EU.
