Who said that? “I am firmly of the opinion that it is in our national interest to remain a member of the European Union.” Now – it is Theresa May was , in April 2016, two months before the EU-Referendum in the United Kingdom.

a Few weeks later, when they were in Downing Street moved in, had forgotten the new Prime Minister their “firm Conviction”. Since then, is in the “national interest” that the UK decoupled from the EU’s radical, all-free influx from the continent ends and the neighbors to the back.

And who said these words: “I would vote that we stay in the single market. I am in favour of the European single market.” That was Boris Johnson , a few years ago. Today, a fate would be in the single market is a “Boris” almost a crime. In the Atlantic it’s supposed to go. Just move away from the EU.

Strange how fast opinions that apply to you in a day than moved, and the next day no longer. How quickly Forgotten, what someone such as Johnson is one of the Nation once swore.

overboard thrown verbal Ballast

to lift The found, most recently, four friends from London and Bristol, took on a joint Pub night with the Plan, quickly overboard thrown verbal Ballast of this type again see the light of day. The revamped round was “the hypocrisy so sorry” that she decided to do something about it.

once the four semi-forgotten Brexiteer collected-quotes. Then you had a couple of large wall posters print, bought Wallpaper paste, a brush and a ladder and pasted, initially without permission, “the largest Brexit-lies” at dawn on billboards here and there in the country.

Suddenly, surprised time were enjoyed instead of the usual lingerie ads on the walls of all this, what had made your politicians you once know. For example, the conservative MEP Daniel Hannan, one of the fiercest opponents of the EU had insisted, in the year before the Referendum: “Absolutely no one speaks to the fact that our place is to be at risk in the internal market.”

Michael Gove, along with Johnson at the time the referendum-chief strategist, and today Minister of the environment, with hope on the May successor, said in April 2016: “On the day, after we have voted for the exit, we hold all the cards in the Hand and can choose any path we like.”

David Davis, a very light head, May at the Brexit-the Minister appointed, the insured, in the autumn, after the Referendum: “When Brexit there is no dark side, only Positive.”

His colleague for foreign trade, Liam Fox, had no doubt: “The free trade agreement, we will agree with the EU, is one of the most easily be determined, of the whole of humanity be history.”

That Brussels would oppose, was not provided.

The “Deal” that they wanted, planned for, and the Brexiteers the EU to dictate. That Brussels would put up some resistance, was not provided. As foreign Minister, Boris Johnson, said in the summer of 2017, plans for a “No Deal”-the Brexit to be quite superfluous, “because we will achieve a fantastic Deal”. A year later, he stormed out of the Cabinet, because of the real Deal seemed to him “like a pile of dog shit”.

Today, Johnson, in the past were not without the EU internal market, believed life, be sure that “No Deal will”exit from the force, in the planning, he included at the time not considered – and for the Kingdom, not sufficiently prepared.

attention, acclaim, and financial support

The more quotes of this type, the Billboard group dug up and re-into the public consciousness became, the more attention and applause it got – at least in the case of Brexit opponents. For some weeks now to flow with the creators of the action through Crowdfunding funds, which now allows you a legal use of billboards.

Nevertheless, they have retained their identity, Banksy-style, always dear. Is known of them only that they are at the end of thirty to mid-forty and all of them fathers of small children, whom you would spare the Brexit. And that you are in “real life” for charitable organizations.

“We are not so conceited to believe that four fathers can run with a head in the Brexit tide”, they have entrusted the London “Guardian” recently. “But when we come to these people – always with the same lying crap, because they believe that nobody notices – the thing just a little bit harder can make, then that is already a success.”

Led By Donkeys led by donkeys, have you baptized your action, in memory of the British soldiers of the First world war, led by their generals “to Ruin”, “lions by donkeys”. A Parallel for you: “We’re moving on to this abyss, and no one says, wait a minute, what’s going on here? What’s going on?”

finally, you have accepted the vast Brexiteer-outrage over the proposal for a new referendum. Some of the hardliners, the cry of “treason”, have also argued this point differently in the past.

Nigel Farage, the former Ukip leader, had declared immediately before the Referendum in 2016, that “the thing with a 52-to-48-percent-result not checked”, but perhaps “a second Referendum” may be necessary. The Farage said, as long as he saw himself on the losing side.

Jacob Rees-Mogg, a leader of the right-of Tory backbenchers, had muses before the tender of the original referendum: “We could have two referendums. In fact, it would make more sense, a second Referendum once the negotiations are completed.”

And David Davis had proclaimed loudly: “If a democracy does not reflect new, it can change your mind, then you cease to be a democracy.” The fact that he has said it once, will Davis, not be reminded of it dear. Certainly not billboards anywhere in the country.
