What prominent lies from Remain? There was a lot of what people were calling scaremongering, but if you look at the markets it looks like it was pretty accurate. I've seen thorough takedowns of blatant lies from Leave, but haven't seen anything similar for Remain.

An hour after the referendum he went on TV claiming that his adverts aren't what he said. This is just the most recent, flaming pile of noxious vomit to come from him but not the only one. EDIT: I completely misread the parent post. My bad! :)

  "What prominent lies from Remain?" Farage was campaigning to leave.

    Yeah I completely misread the parent comment. My only defense is that because of the time difference I was up very late last night watching coverage of this, so I probably need some coffee XD

  GP was asking about lies from Remain's side. Most of the filth and bilge we've been seeing has been racist, xenophobic bigotry from the organisers of the Leave campaign, speaking to populist fears and dreams. Reminds me a lot of Trump's campaign here in the US.

The markets are in panic mode for the moment, but it will recover, it always does.

  UK or US markets? The S&P 500 is down 3% at the moment, that's not panic. Panic is more like 10 - 20% in a day (UK was down 9% at one point), or 5% every day for a week like in 2008.
