You might have wanted to pass yours to people like the OP, rather than self-fulfillingly contribute to the 'waste' which you all no doubt complained about?

Ummmm....Who on earth would I have given it to?...Waited for this thread to appear and say, "I've got one you can have"?

 

Advertised it in the Free/Swap section on here?....I'd have been a laughing stock!

News reports were all about the 9 million it cost to print and send these but what hasn't been covered are the costs of all the social media/internet advertising they're paying for to push out this propaganda. That in itself will be 100s of 000s.

 

But what of the Leave campaign, surely if the Stay campaign are allowed to access public funds then the Leave campaign should have equal access? (Not that I want more wasted public money)

Anyone you'd run into who hasn't got one, until at least referendum day?

 

That's only suggesting that recipients of either side of the argument show a bit of civic initiative, so was I wrong to infer that Brexiters could show a bit of civism?

 

Or is it a case of, like their UKIP forefathers, they'd sooner compound the waste of taxpayer money for self-serving ideological reasons?

 

Perish the thought

This started off as a perfectly reasonable question to see if people had received said brochure and not to turn the thread into a political argument on whether we should or should not remain in the EU. All it required was a simple answer of 'yes' or 'no'!

 

P.S, Yes I got mine weeks ago in S5.

Black wheelie bin for me without reading it … along with all the other political voting garbage I didn't ask for that's come through the letterbox of late. If anyone wants it, go to the tip.

The two designated campaigns for "in" and "out" are both entitled to one free distribution of information to voters, campaign broadcasts, a higher spending limit that undesignated campaigns, and a £600K grant.

 

Government funded information is treated entirely separately.
