Change the misleading Brexit Battle Bus
To change the misleading statistics on the side of the Brexit Battle Bus.
Why is this important?
The £350 million a week going to the EU statistic on the side of Boris Johnson's Brexit Battle Bus is intentionally misleading the British public on an incredibly important issue. This is clearly intentional as the UK Statistics Authority has already warned the leave campaign that the claim is "potentially misleading". The figure does not include the UK's rebate and does not include any of the cash transfers back into the UK. This is a gross figure and not a net figure as it is being portrayed. If the leave campaign wishes to continue using this statistic they should properly set out what it actually includes and does not include as well as putting it into context.
It is difficult to see this as anything other than a wilful attempt to mislead the public and this is unacceptable given the gravity of the decision about to be made.
