Curiously, in this case the people of the UK actually wanted to be lied to in order to 'get Brexit done'. The previous prime minister (Theresa May) was honest about Brexit, saying that it would involve putting a customs border down the Irish Sea, cutting off Northern Ireland. She was removed for voicing this inconvenient truth and replaced by Johnson, who said that he would 'get Brexit done' without any border. Hence his famous, 'we'll have our cake and eat it' comment. So the upshot is that the UK purposely voted for a shifty character, and that's what they got!
