Within no time, the media helped encourage people to blame immigrants, benefit cheats and Labour overspending on the state of the economy. The interesting part of this is that not one single independant fiscal organisation (OBR, IFS, BoE, etc) agreed with any of this. People seem to forget it was all about the banks. It's been one of the greatest manoeuvers in blame in history. We've been told the economy has been in a dreadful state for years. It's been so dire, to the point where the deficit has never even really been brought under control, that we're now going to be spending money like confetti, presumably all borrowed - a situation that all leading economists and financial institutions suggest will get significantly worse when we leave the EU.

I can only presume that the debt isn't as dreadful as we are led to believe and austerity was all about an attack on the worst off in society.
The media who are saying this don't want us to leave the EU. It's all smoke and mirrors. What we do know is the majority of British people voted to leave the EU. This majority need to organise and do what's best for Britain, with no more labour v tory distractions. So yeah, you are right about the media, but I'm not sure how you are going to convince everybody else regarding your insight.
