On 5 June 2016, just three weeks before the EU referendum, former Prime Minister, Sir John Major warned that the Leave campaign was “fundamentally dishonest” and “verging on the squalid.”
On the BBC Andrew Marr Show, Sir John accused Brexit campaigners of feeding to the British people “a whole galaxy of inaccurate and frankly untrue information.”
“And what they have NOT done,” he added, “is to tell us what would be the position if we were to vote to leave.”
Sir John said of Brexit, “I think it would be chaotic and damaging and I think the people who would suffer most would be the everyday man and woman in the street.”
Andrew Marr put it to Sir John that Leave campaigners claimed Brexit would create an extra 300,000 jobs, “because we would be free to strike our own trade deals with America and Australia and China and other countries.”
“Well, it’s fantasy,” responded Sir John. “We would lose a huge amount in terms of national income through trade,” he said, pointing out that businesses would sell less to the #SingleMarket if we left the EU.
He added, “I am angry at the way the British people are being misled.”
The former Prime Minister was right, wasn’t he? What a shame his warnings were not heeded.
