In a telephone call to the North East No Campaign at 2.30pm today the House of Commons Library was enquiring about the written evidence put to the Select Committee on the Regional Assemblies Draft Preparations Bill by the North East Says No Campaign
This may puzzle some people that they came to us. They did not have NESNO's telephone number.
It may also puzzle some people that NESNO were listed as the No Campaign on the ODPM agenda for the Select Committee produced on 9th September for a meeting that was scheduled for the 15th. Click here for the agenda.
Puzzling because the Electoral Commission did not designate the official No campaign until 14th September.
Puzzling because the North East No Campaign was not invited to present evidence despite the fact that everyone comes to us, even when trying to contact NESNO.
Puzzling as to how NESNO were contacted by the Select Committee when even the House of Commons Library doesn't appear to have their number. Had the 'establishment' already made the decision?
Puzzling as to why the Electoral Commission, were still giving out our telephone number as the ' No Campaign' after designation.
The mess is gradually unravelling and more and more evidence of an establishment stitch-up of the People's No Campaign by the ODPM and the Electoral Commission is becoming apparent.
When Colin Moran of the No Campaign stated to Sam Younger, Chairman of the Electoral Commission, at an arranged meeting (Thursday 23rdSeptember) at Trevelyan House, that weeks ago Professor Tomaney of the Yes Campaign had stated, "you lot (No Campaign) will not get the money because you are not part of the 'establishment'," Sam Younger said nothing. He broke eye contact and did not refute or challenge the statement.
More will be revealed about this meeting in the coming days, but if you wish to read what Sam Younger said in a letter to the Sunday Telegraph about the decision of the Commission, please click here
What we find staggering is that the decision to hand over £100k of public money to NESNO (or even to us for that matter) was made without a telephone call to us or them (we can confirm we did not receive one) to see if we actually existed.
