Facts4EU reports on what the BBC won’t tell you, and compares with the threats of Project Fear
More Brexit good news : The latest figures from HMRC and the ONS released yesterday (18 Jul 2024) show that the increase in the number of payrolled employees in the UK since the EU Referendum passed the 2.5 million mark in June. Since the first month of Brexit itself the number has increased by over 1.4 million – despite Covid.
That’s over 2.5 million more people in payrolled employment since the British people voted to leave the European Union in June 2016. Given all that has happened in the eight years between then and now, this is an astonishing achievement for the United Kingdom.

The fact that the increase in payrolled employment since the month of the Referendum has just passed the 2.5 million mark was not mentioned by HMRC nor by the ONS. We are pleased to bring this exclusively to Facts4EU’s readers by virtue of looking into the raw data. We believe it was worth the effort.

Lies, damn lies, and Remainer statistics
In May 2016 – one month before the EU Referendum – the then Chancellor, George Osborne, presented to Parliament a 90-page report by HM Treasury entitled “The immediate economic impact of leaving the EU”. In it, they solemnly stated the following :-
“The analysis in this document comes to a clear central conclusion: a vote to leave would represent an immediate and profound shock to our economy. That shock would push our economy into a recession and lead to an increase in unemployment of around 500,000, GDP would be 3.6% smaller, average real wages would be lower, inflation higher, sterling weaker, house prices would be hit and public borrowing would rise compared with a vote to remain.”
The deliberate deception of the British public by politicians and the Civil Service
The 90-page document presented by George Osborne to Parliament in May 2016 must rank as one of the most grievous sets of lies to the British public since former Prime Minister Ted Heath told Parliament and the people in 1973 that :
“There are some in this country who fear that in going into Europe we shall in some way sacrifice independence and sovereignty.
“These fears, I need hardly say, are completely unjustified.”
Prime Minister Edward Heath, BBC broadcast to the nation, Jan 1973
Following the release of secret cabinet papers under the 30-year rule, we now know that he knowingly lied – both to Parliament and to the people on television. In various briefing notes his civil servants made it absolutely clear that joining the Common Market would indeed involve a loss of sovereignty.
Prime Minister Heath was told unequivocally that it would lead to :
“the ultimate creation of a European federal state, with a single currency. All the basic instruments of national economic management (fiscal, monetary, incomes and regional policies) would ultimately be handed over to the central federal authorities. The Werner report suggests that this radical transformation of present Communities should be accomplished within a decade.”

Observations
Every time we publish a piece of good Brexit news – which we are able to do on a regular basis as there has been so much of it – those who never accepted the democratic will of the British people, expressed in the largest democratic vote in British history, simply cannot rebut it.
Instead the Remainer-Rejoiners will ignore it and try to deflect onto other subjects. For example: “Ah, but the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) has said UK GDP will fall by 4%”. Did the OBR say that? No. They produced a 15-year forecast predicting that in 15 years’ time the UK’s economy will be 4% smaller than it would have been had we stayed in the EU.
Given that the OBR can barely forecast correctly for next month, let alone for an imagined outcome in 15 years’ time, their forecast is not worth the paper it’s written on. In any event, GDP is not the subject of this exclusive report. This is about payrolled employment – and Remainer-Rejoiners must try to explain this.
The good news is that this is now up by 2.5 million since we voted to leave the EU. In subsequent reports we will look at the changes in other metrics since the Referendum vote.
NOTICE : Facts4EU will scale back to publishing 5 days-a-week
For over eight years we have worked seven days-a-week. As far as we are aware we are the only organisation of our type to have done this. We are grateful to those of our readers who have made donations but sadly the level of our funding is now such that we must make it stretch for as long as we can. This means team members taking other paid work and reducing our output to five days-a-week.
Please, please help us to carry on our vital work in defence of independence, sovereignty, democracy and freedom by donating today. Thank you.
