    The Boris Bus...High court judge says it was correct.

    “The alleged offence set out in the Application for Summons is that the Claimant “repeatedly made and endorsed false and misleading statements concerning the cost of the United Kingdom’s membership of the European Union”. It appears that if the Claimant had said/endorsed a figure of £350m per week gross, or £250m per week net, there would have been no complaint.”


    £350m a week, just like the bus said, and as Boris pointed out on numerous occasions, this was the gross figure.

    Not so Sinkov.

    He told us that £350K PW would be available to spend on stuff like the NHS.

    So that would mean £350K PW net.

    Not me saying he was right 59, it's a High Court judge, I defer to the wisdom of the judiciary, the judge says Boris was justified in his claim, I accept his verdict as I accept the decision of the British people in the referendum. But you don't think so, 17.4 million people plus one High Court judge are all wrong now ? You really are starting to give the impression of a bad loser 59, just take your medicine.

    Boris even models his cardboard buses on the original offending one...

    Apologies, it seems I was wrong, it wasn't a High Court judge who exonerated the Boris Bus, it was two of them, Lady Justice Rafferty and Mr Justice Sapperstone. They say the figures were correct, the only point at issue was that the bus didn't say that the £350k a week was the gross figure and £250k was the net figure. But as the entire Remain media, and Boris himself, has been pointing this out every day since, no one could possibly have been misled, unless they deliberately wanted to be of course. Which is why the judges said the case was vexatious, politically motivated and gave a tongue lashing to the District Court judge who should have thrown the case out at that level, it should never have even got to the High Court.

    Our High Court judges are serious people, they're not amused by immature Remain bad losers wasting their time playing fatuous political games. And neither are 17.4 million people still waiting for us to leave the EU.

    I've appeared before High Court Judges on three separate occasions sinkov. Their intellect actually intimidates the shoite out of you, but I found them to be incredibly fair in their decision making. I won two and lost one and never had any reason to complain, because the process was transparent and understandable.

    Nothing like Brexit at all.

    You have to wonder about the District Court judge though BT, the High Court judges seemed incredulous that this case had been allowed to progress so far, I suspect BDS might have had something to do with it, but of course our learned friends couldn't possibly insinuate that about one of their colleagues.

    Absolutely brilliant that, bet he doesn’t get the exposure the same as when they accused him of it

    A lot of disappointed people today I imagine , anyway they’ll soon be back to slagging his marriage off and saying he’s not fit for prime minister, you never know he might just shock a few Boris going forward.

    Good for him I say - all those apologies and wasted tax payers money - is it slanderous I wander ?
