Nigel Farage admits that the Leave campaign's pledge that £350 million a week will go to the NHS is not guaranteed and it was a "mistake" to make that promise. I have to wonder how many people were persuaded to vote leave because they thought the NHS would be injected with a solid supply of funding.

These are the actual grounds, included in the Directive, for the ban ....

"Therefore, it is necessary to approximate the national provisions on advertising and sponsorship of those
products having cross-border effects, taking as a base a high level of protection of human health. Electronic
cigarettes can develop into a gateway to nicotine addiction and ultimately traditional tobacco consumption, as they mimic and normalize the action of smoking. For this reason, it is appropriate to adopt a restrictive approach to advertising electronic cigarettes and refill containers."

Even those that were originally hostile such as Ash and many national health services, including the NHS have since refuted this and given substantial evidence that it is rare for none smokers to take up vaping ....

At the time the EU made the claim to warrant the exception to Art,10 there wasn't any figures, so even if later figures had have supported the EU, which they don't, they still breached Art.10 as the grounds were not "Established" when they made the directive ...

Depends on the person but if you think there are no people who hate immigrants and/or voted based on racism, you're wrong. Hang out on social media and you'll find there are tons of people who will gladly tell you they voted because they hate those filthy immigrants and they want to keep Britain British and other things that jerkoffs love to say. Maybe they're the minority but they definitely exist.

I never said they didn't exist, but a few users on this forum seem to jump straight to the race card when people advocate stricter border control. It's annoying.

They're a minority.
