REMAIN voters have accused the Leave campaign of “breaking promises” following the country’s decision to exit the European Union.

The Daily Echo spoke to people in Bournemouth Square yesterday, many of whom claimed they had been left angered by apparent U-turns made by senior figures in the Leave camp.

These include UKIP leader Nigel Farage’s comment that it had been a “mistake” for the Leave campaign to pledge that the £350million-a-week sent to the EU would instead go to the NHS.

That was repeated by Iain Duncan Smith, who yesterday said the £350m a week had been an 'extrapolation' and that he had never said it would be spent on the NHS.

Conservative MEP Daniel Hannan told BBC’s Newsnight programme that EU immigration would continue if the UK wanted to retain its place in the single market.

He said: “Frankly, if people think... there is now going to be zero immigration from the EU, they are going to be disappointed.”

And former Defence Secretary Liam Fox said the Leave camp would have to “think again” about some of the things said during the campaign, including invoking Article 50.

“I think that it doesn’t make any sense to trigger article 50 without having a period of reflection first, for the cabinet to determine exactly what it is that we’re going to be seeking and in what timescale," he said.

Lisa Morgan, 48, said: “Leave have broken so many promises, and I’m scared about what will happen – especially for my four-year-old grandson and his future.

“They have lied about the NHS and they had no idea how bad this was going to be for the economy.

"We should have another referendum, because something needs to be done to stop this mess.”

Val Richardson, 62, said she voted Remain and feels a large portion of the electorate were “duped”.

“I voted Remain because I think getting out is going to damage the economy, which it already has,” she said. “But I have been concerned about immigration, and now they’re saying we’re not even going to be able stop that.”

Jamie Smith, 38, said: “I am so angry, and I don’t want them to get away with it. The people who voted Leave have bought a pack of lies.

“We should have another referendum, but this time with the proper facts.”

But 25-year-old Chris Shirley said: “I think there was a lot of dodgy information on both sides – where’s George Osborne’s emergency budget for example?”

And Bournemouth West MP Conor Burns told the Echo: “I hope we can very quickly move beyond Remain camps and Leave camps and accept this was a democratic referendum. We are now leaving the European Union and that is the clear instruction from the British people.”

He added that the Remain supporting government had organised the referendum and distributed pro-Remain literature funded by the taxpayer.

“They had the whole might of the domestic and international establishment on their side, the machinery of government on their side – and people stood up to that,” he said.

South Dorset MP Richard Drax said he is “not going to dwell on the muck-racking” and criticised sections of the media for “irresponsibly spreading the claims of misery” made by the Remain camp.

“The decision is done and we have now go to get on with it,” he said. “There is a lot to look forward to, huge optimism and I am absolutely convinced that our country will thrive and prosper in the future.

“What we now need is a leader full of optimism, to gather our country together and take us forward.”
