Calls start coming in...from Conservatives

We have received the sixth call in two days from Conservative branch 'grass roots' activists worried that NESNO has been deliberately set up to lose the referendum.

They have had sight of NESNO's leaflet and have said it is 'atrocious.' As it stands at the minute we at the No Campaign, have not been given a copy so we will reserve judgment.

However, grassroots Tories are wishing to be supplied with North East No Campaign leaflets.

Another call has just come in asking if the People's Campaign can stand a candidate against Conservative MP, Peter Atkinson in Hexham in the next General Election because they are disgusted at the way the Conservative NESNO campaign has behaved. If anyone wishes to look at the only North East Tory MP's marginal seat click here.

With only one MP and one MEP in the North East surely the Conservatives would not wish to deliberately sabotage the No campaign in order to end up with a new political institution where they would have greater representation.

The answer is yes. However, your belated anti-Toryism belies your close relationship with John Elliot, Tory member and donor, who you had earmarked as Chairman of your campaign. He then did the dirty on you and jumped ship. Never trust a Tory , Neil!
