Let's start on a positive note - I agree on the bit in bold!
I'm discussing 2017 not 2016 and I've responded previously to all these points last year. You will find that I am keener on impartial fact-checking sources and less so opinion pieces in the billionaire-owned Brexit press. Damien does a great job on evaluating sources and we can all learn from him.
It was a positive thing for democracy in this country that Sir David Norgrove, the Statistics Regulator, corrected the claims that Boris made this year and a pity Boris still hasn't learnt from 2016.
However, when a pro-Brexit source was turfed up to discredit Norgrove, I only felt it fair to state what the independent fact-checking source said. Not The Guardian or The Mirror but an independent fact-checking site. I feel that's a constructive thing to do but obviously some people don't.
