Government to correct errors in the Brexit White Paper

Petition Details

The Brexit White paper contained a number of "Alt Facts". It is important that matters of such importance are worded correctly and these must be corrected. Some details below but a thorough fact check must be done

Additional Information

1. 65 million people are not willing this to happen. At best it may be 17.4 million. Accurate figures needed.
2. The statement "the country is coming together" is a "nominalisation" in linguistic terms. Please expand as it appears to have been extracted from a song by The Beatles
3. The first statement is negative. It must be more positive e.g. "The negotiations will be a great success".
4. The 14 week holiday promise must be paid holiday as is implied by the promise but not stated.
