wednesday 23 november 2016 brexiter refusing to believe government finances now <u+00a3>122bn worse off until it<u+2019>s written on a bus 




brexiter simon williams has insisted the chancellor<u+2019>s claim that government finances are <u+00a3>122bn worse off post-brexit is pure scaremongering, and will continue to believe that is the case until he sees it written on a bus. 




williams said that today<u+2019>s autumn statement by chancellor philip hammond, which highlighted the <u+00a3>122bn figure, is based on nothing more than research and expert opinion, and as such should be discarded without a moment<u+2019>s thought. 




he went on, <u+201c>everyone knows that financial facts are written on buses, it<u+2019>s the british way. 




<u+201c>you can say whatever you like with your reports, analysis and experts <u+2013> until i see it driving down the motorway in two foot high letters i won<u+2019>t believe a word of it. you can make up a report; you can<u+2019>t make up an entire bus! 




<u+201c>if the <u+00a3>122bn figure was true, they would have put it on a bus, of course they would. it<u+2019>s how the british electorate expects to be told about the economy, dumbass. 




<u+201c>show me a bus that says the country<u+2019>s finances are <u+00a3>122bn worse off after voting for brexit, and then we<u+2019>ll talk <u+2013> but until then, you can piss off.<u+201d> 




williams went on to explain that brexit is the best thing that has ever happened to the country, before heading to the post office to buy some euros for a stag do he<u+2019>s about to attend.
