Gullible voters fell for Leave ‘promises’

VOTERS lied to during EU referendum, says Tory MP Sarah Wollaston (Herald Express, August 22).

Well of course they were lied to, because the English largely are the least overall politically educated in the Western world, so the Leave campaigners took advantage.

While Britain remains a member of the European Union, we enjoy the benefits of the easy transit of goods across national borders. If the UK leaves the Customs Union, as the
