What is not is that the "total lies" or whatever that get trotted out when referring to the £350m side of bus claim. I mean come on, whether its 250 or 350 they are both the same order of magnitude. I suspect the Leave campaign made a tactical error by exaggerating as if they left it at 250, nobody would be able to argue about it. It's interesting how we view things differently . I see that £350 million as evidence of bernythedolt's "brilliant strategic mind at work". £250 million? Not enough to worry anybody. £450 million? We'll never get anybody to believe it. £350 million? Well, you never know, enough people might believe it, and be outraged enough about it, to vote the way we want them to... err, bernythedolt, casting no aspersions your way. I'm sure you have a brilliant strategic mind, but I'm not accusing you of being Dominic Cummings .

I'm sure you have a brilliant strategic mind, but I'm not accusing you of being Dominic Cummings . I've never been near Barnard Castle, honest guv! I agree entirely with michaelc above... 250, 350 or 450m makes no material difference, all are the same order of magnitude, so they made a tactical error painting 350 on the bus rather than a more easily demonstrable 250. I prefer cock-up over conspiracy though - painting 250m a week would have outraged the exact same people by the exact same amount. I've no doubt Vote Leave probably kicked themselves afterwards for this silly slip-up, having gifted the opposition a stick to beat them with, in return for no material gain.
