Try Googling 'Mark Carney's apology for referendum forecasts'. There are plenty of entries to choose from. If you have any difficulties there must be a pensioner living somewhere close who can give you a hand.
By coincidence, there was an article in the Telegraph business today about another apology from the Bank of England. Carney must be getting so embarrassed now that this time he left it to a deputy governor. At the time of the referendum they forecast that 5,000 to 10,000 jobs would be relocated from London to Europe.
They are now saying, and I quote: 'I think it will be at the bottom end of that range. If anything, it might be slightly below that'.

52% did because the vast majority bought in to the lies that the leave campaign fed them and continue to feed them.

The leave campaign were amateurs compared with remain pro's. From the governments 'vote remain' leaflet to all the project fear crap (most of which has been proved to be crap and the governor of the B of E has had the honesty to apologise for his) and leave still won. Without project fear, I reckon the leave vote would have been over 60%.

Yes and Remain never told any whoppers did they - you and them are still out on the campaign of the referendum that was lost......

Remain weren’t trying to sell an alternative, they were campaigning for things to stay the same i.e. in the EU. We knew what that looked like.

Leave told a pack of lies as to why we should leave the EU and what was supposedly going to happen if we didn’t e.g. millions of Turks rocking up. Their entire campaigns were based on either emotive tripe or factless scaremongering. It’s absolutely laughable that Leavers still parrot the ‘project fear’ mantra that was the narrative of the right wing press, when Leaves entire campaign was based on fear - fear of migrants mostly - with various different angles spun around the same subject, like that disgraceful Dr’s waiting room broadcast.

Going by the cover stories of some of the rags there you'd have thought the UK had turned into a bad day in Syria.

Which didn’t happen, hence the reason you can’t provide a link for it. You’ve swallowed a right wing rags headline and run with it.

Absolutely nothing to do with my actual post, but seeing as you’ve brought it up.

I was against a second referendum until recently. However, I’m now fully supportive of the people’s vote idea, as I’m sick to the back teeth of seeing lying charlatans like Mogg pushing for a no deal Brexit. People didn’t vote for that, they were told it’d be the easiest deal in human history. So if Parliament reaches deadlock with no deal or no Brexit the only choices remaining, then it should rightly be put back to the vote.

Mate, if you are going to be that condescending in tone, you at least have to be correct.

Just googled that exact phrase and no such article or apology exists.

But I have a feeling you already know that.

Still cant quite understand why some hate the EU more than they care about the UK and its future generations.

Cos scratch the itch, and thats the route cause. Shame.

It’d make more sense if the hatred had any real tangible reasons behind it that they could actually explain.
 
Anyway, I see that Gary Lineker is now telling us that Brexit is more important than football. I’m glad he has finally awoken and joined the rest of the U.K.. but what I can’t understand is why exactly he believes that his opinion is of any value, seeing as most of the crap he comes out with isn’t........

His opinion is as valid as anyone’s else’s, only he’s dared to suggest that Brexit looks a bit of a lemon and has backed the people’s vote. So obviously he’s been completely lambasted by the right wing rags and numerous gammons, for going against the ‘will of the people’ for suggesting that the ‘will of the people’ should checked when the final deal is on the table. What an enemy of democracy.
