Lying About Brexit
Politicians stretch the truth all the time. Sometimes they out-and-out lie...repeating the lie over and over. What if we could really hold them accountable, especially when their lies lead to dire consequences?
A private prosecutor in Great Britain is accusing Boris Johnson of lying in the run-up to the Brexit vote. Apparently it was a whopper. Johnson has repeatedly claimed that Britain paid £350 million a week to be in the European Union. A claim that was rebuked by the head UK's Statistics Authority, calling it a clear misuse of official statistics.
Johnson, who is running to replace Theresa May, must now face charges of misconduct in public office.
