AS A 17-year-old, I may not be entitled to vote but when I read some of the letters submitted to this newspaper I start to despair of the voting public.

In Roger Gough’s letter ‘Brexit Rants’ (30/08/17), he states that Brexiteers said ‘no such thing’, in regards to the supposed promise to give the NHS the £350 million currently being paid to the EU each week, which is not a net amount anyway.

A simple Google search will throw up a picture of Mr Boris Johnson in front of a poster that states ‘Let’s give our NHS the £350 million the EU takes every week’.

The Vote Leave campaign released a tweet with this statement on May 19, 2016.

In addition, in an interview on the Today programme (15/04/16), Gisela Stuart MP (co-chairman of Vote Leave) said that if she had the money she ‘would spend it on the NHS’.

The Leave campaign may not have ‘promised’ but what they said in their campaign amounts to it.

They led people to believe in something that (according to Mr Gough) they themselves did not believe in, which to me is just blatant misconduct, or put plainly, lying.
