Read my reply to someone else who misinterpreted my original post. I am NOT saying that people who disagree with me are not intelligent. I am saying that some of the comments from the goggleboxers last night were stupid. I would definitely say that somebody who thinks that the currency of Spain is the peseta is not intelligent. That is what I was saying.
It seems to me that it was only the remainers who believed the £350 million would be ploughed into the NHS. It was them who reacted with horror over Nigel Farage saying he couldn't guarantee it would be spent on the NHS. He couldn't guarantee it because he is not in government and he never made that claim in the first place. He was not part of the campaign that made that claim and whenever he was asked about it he always refuted it.
I know plenty of people who voted to leave and not one of them believed The NHS claim. You are making assumptions about why people voted to leave. There might have been some people who believed it but I've not encountered any. I've also not met one single person who regretted their vote to leave.
