This isn't true either. Nigel Farage likely wins that unenviable title.

That doesn't necessarily follow. His reasons for supporting / promoting Brexit have been shown to be based on falsehoods.

I appreciate your optimism that there remains any doubt about which of those it will be.
It's clear that this guy - Boris, Johnson, or Boris Johnson if you prefer - has not and will not take responsibility for his actions.
Claims of 'Brexit == democracy at its best' are massively misguided - they presuppose that the voters were not outright lied to (they were).
