Demand accountability for lies told in 2016 referendum campaign to leave EU

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

The leave campaign have admitted they told lies in the run up to the 2016 EU referendum. This includes the infamous ‘£350 million for the NHS’ statement on the side of a bus.
No one has been held accountable.
A leading figure in this campaign was Boris Johnson. A man who could soon become the unelected prime minister and allow the UK to crash out of the EU with no deal.
This is unacceptable. Demand accountability.
