So serious journalists sort through contradictory Google search results. Many, on short deadlines, go down the ill-advised democratic route, by picking whatever answer seems to have the most independent citations. How can this be? So, an article with erroneous accounts gets published. More articles are published based on these incorrect facts.
This gets more citations in Google, adding undeserved credibility. Popularised by propagandist Joseph Goebbels, you use repetition, to deceive the public. Firstly, it was an analogy, not a pledge. So, the money we get from the EU is actually UK money. All the remaining EU countries, other than France and Germany, take more than they give.
And who wants to read all that. Once opposition is discredited and debate shut down, emotion-led metaphors were introduced.

Geoff Goodfellow came up with the idea of sending electronic mail messages wirelessly to a portable device while working as an assistant computer operator. In , he published his idea on a mailing list called Telecom Digest in a note titled "Electronic Mail for People on the Move.
Goodfellow did not believe in patenting his work, however. The self-styled lone inventor was a pioneer of precisely the spirit of collaboration to which Makkonen and most sane engineers subscribed. The difference is that, for Edison, collaboration finished at the lab door; the plaudits and paydays were for him and him alone. He rightly points to Friedhelm Hillebrand and Bernard Ghillebaert, who developed the character protocol, and to Nokia, who created the first text message-enabled cellphone.
On the few occasions he spoke to the press, Makkonen consistently deflected attention away from himself and onto the wider mobile industry. For that, we salute him. We can only hope history puts him on a higher pedestal than he would have countenanced — but it seems unlikely.
This technology made it quite a bit easier to send text messages using a digit keypad. Before , you could only message people who shared the same service provider.
