How is that a "blatant lie"?
Does that money go to the EU? Yes.
Would that money be freed up for other uses? Yes.
Would some of it end up being reallocated to the NHS? Very likely, given the politics of the UK.
If you'd said ALL of it WILL go on the NHS then you'd be right, but you aren't arguing with that statement.

- DanBC 10y agoBorris and Farage said that £350m will go to the NHS. https://twitter.com/mgtmccartney/status/746245181532418048 https://twitter.com/mgtmccartney/status/746245181532418048 "Let's give our NHS the £350 million the EU takes every week" https://twitter.com/mgtmccartney/status/746245181532418048 https://twitter.com/mgtmccartney/status/746245181532418048 "We send the EU £350 million a week Let's fund our NHS instead" The clear implication is that £350m per week is available, and that it will be spent on the NHS. £350m is the gross figure, it ignores the > £200m per week we get back. There is not going to be any increase in NHS funding. Anyone who voted leave because they thought there would be an increase in NHS funding hasn't been paying attention - the NHS has seen deep cuts in recent years and those are only going to get worse after Brexit.
