Surely the most meaningless recent news story that has received significant coverage

[Burney]

Not according to the electoral commission which states that Leave just outspent remain. Funnily enough, the spendingcorrelates almost eaxactly with the outcome

Does that include the £9m spent by the government on those leaflets? I bet it doesn't.

Add to that the unquantifiable value of having the PM, the Governor of the BoE, the Chancellor, all major parties, Barack Obama and every other bugger queuing up to tell people to vote Remain and you have to conclude that spending is a very poor benchmark of how such campaigns work. Let's not pretend this was ever a level playing field. It was a rigged game that the mark somehow managed to win.
