It's unusual for the lie to be so blatant, repeated so often, so obviously wrong, and retracted immediately after the polls close.

Here's a picture of Boris by a sign created for the Leave campaign. It says "Let's give our NHS the £350 million the EU takes every week"

Here's a picture of their campaign bus. That says "We send the EU £350 million a week. Let's fund our NHS instead"

There's a bunch of interviews with Leave campaigners saying this money would go to the NHS. (And also being challenged on it).

Here's Farage, on the morning of the results, explaining that saying it was a "mistake" to say the £350m per week would go to the NHS.
