What the petition asks
The Brexit debate has frustrated people on both sides. There have been many opinions put forward as facts but there have also been outright lies and some people believed them and are now annoyed. If a citizen said some of these things they would be sued but it seems OK if a politician says them.
£350 million pounds a week will be diverted from the EU to the NHS. 75 million Turks are on their way to Britain.
