Re: Welcome to Trump.UK
Unlike the Trump campaign though it has been the "popular press" propagating lies about the EU for decades which did the damage. If you ask the average "man in the street" about any of the topics to be found on this list http://blogs.ec.europa.eu/ECintheUK/euromyths-a-z-index/ they will believe the myths to be true.
The owners of the Mail, Express and Sun are vehemently anti-Europe and have pushed the agenda for years with a steady drip-feed of front page lies (many of which have to be withdrawn and apologised for afterwards but the damage is already done).
