14 page EU "pro" leaflet to be posted to every single home
...at a cost of £9mil. Pretty biased if you ask me! Will they be giving an extra £9mil to the campaigners that want out to allow them to put their points across? Doubt it

the government say
1. staying in is the OFFICIAL government position
2. producing leaflets (in a referendum) to state the official government position is not something new or unheard of

It'll go straight in the recycling bin as soon as it arrives. Waste of trees, ink, potage etc.

I looked at that two minutes ago, checked back and it had already gone up by over 250 signatures. Now it's going up by about 25 every few seconds. Astonishing.

Then dropping it back in the local postbox!

Hi,
The out campaign suggest re-addressing them to 10 Downing St. and putting them in a post box!
Seems a great idea!
Cheers

No, the civil service deal with it. Better to send it to Camerons constituency office...

Yeah! Let's complain about the spending by making it cost more.

So will mine because it won't be anything other than biased propaganda. If a leaflet was sent out by a neutral 3rd party detailing the real issues for both arguments then i'd read it.

To add insult to injury - the £9.3 million was spent at a German printing office.... They do loads of stuff for the EU from Brussels!

I had a quick look at mine, which arrived today. I love the statement "A vote to leave could mean a decade or more of uncertainty."
Then again, it might not. No one knows, and to say anything 'could mean... ' is plain daft.
Do they really think we're that stupid?
If the government want us to stay in, just like Mr Blair does, then it MUST be better to get out.
