The idea that the public went to the polls wholly believing there was such a sum immediately available for the NHS is elitist hogwash. There was debate about the figure. It was explained it was a gross figure including the rebate - but,then, the rebate is not sacrosanct. There was plenty of back and forth over it at the time. It was a stupid thing to put on a bus and I think most people voting Brexit knew that and thought that, although they agreed with the sentiment, if not the precise figure.
