SIR How many billions of our hard-earned money has been spent by this Government’s recent Brexit advertising campaign?
I even noticed a full page spread in last week’s Advertiser.
I find it utterly galling that with County cuts looming, money seems available to spend on such aggressive advertising. For any reader wanting a breakdown of their spending, a simple Google search reveals the millions of pounds which have been wasted by this Government on Brexit so far. And for those still believing in those ‘sunlit uplands’ we were promised, a reminder that the Confederation of British Industry estimated that EU membership is worth £3000 a year to every British family — a return of nearly £10 for each £1 we pay in. Surely nobody voted to be poorer and for this Government to be given a blank cheque, but at the expense of everything else?
Yours,
