As a 70 year old, I remember the UK _before_ the first referendum which was all about joining the Common Market, NOT about giving up sovereignty as joining a supranational state run by unelected commisars who cannot be removed by popular vote. Even though Ted Heath new that loss of sovereignty. In 1971 the Foreign [and Commonwealth) Office warned in their FCO 30/1048 memo, detailing how the UK would surrender sovereignty if it were to join. This memo was kept secret until 2002.
A lie by omission is still a lie. It was known all that time that we would be expected to become a federal state under EU law. If the people of my generation were given the honest facts, we would never have joined in the first place. We were far more patriotic and mistrusting of the Europeans then than the brainwashed generations of today.
So, when hypocrites like Al Campbell accuse the referendum of being based on lies, keep that in mind (and also that he was the spin doctor for the Iraq war)
This is just a production by and for leftists who _never_ respect democracy if it doesn't go their way.
