I have only just got my Gov propaganda bumf re referendum today along with
Grassroots OUT leaflet.

They don't really listen. They go through the motions.

Bit late for the first one ... we have already paid for it's production, imagined the number of trees destroyed, paid for it to be delivered and paid for the refuse collection operatives to remove it.... we will no doubt pay for the inevitable destruction of said piece of literature.... sigh!

Are they really going to debate the proposal to stop the spend on these leaflets a month after the leaflets were sent?

Outstanding.

[Baldric]

SP, should I really have put "(sarcasm)" after 'so reassuring' to aid your understanding?

The Electoral Commission has announced that Vote Leave has been designated as the official lead campaign urging Britain to leave the European Union, in the run-up to the June referendum.

The decision will allow the group to spend up to £7m it has raised itself; and it will also be given public funding to send one mailshot to every household in the UK.

Vote Leave, which has the support of cabinet ministers including Michael Gove, Boris Johnson and Chris Grayling, and is chaired by the Labour MP Gisela Stuart, had been widely expected to be anointed.

The decision may be contested by Leave.EU, the group funded by the businessman Arron Banks, in which the UK Independence party leader, Nigel Farage, plays a prominent role.

I'm not sure what 'Vote Leave' has to do with either petition mentioned, but never mind.
