The lie is almost 40 years old. It's done a lot of damage in that time. It's time to stop wasting time pretending the other side are open to discussion, compromise or persuasion. Even pointing out the falsehoods in these lies actually makes people more likely to believe them. You saw this with the "350m pounds a week for the nhs" lie in the Brexit campaign. Even after it was revealed and admitted to be untrue, the more it was mentioned the more people believed it. So stop acting shocked and talk about how we need a trickle up program.
