NESNO Score points as Yes Stunt backfires

The Yes Campaign's tactics are now failing miserably as they continually attack the NESNO campaign instead of concentrating on winning the arguments about the issue.
The 'Tory Boys' line is now old hat and the more coverage the People's No Campaign with its grassroots perspective and spokesmen gets then the more foolish 'Yes' becomes.

Both No Campaigns are showing a united front and are co-ordinating stunts and strategies, with the occasional light-hearted dig, and it is working well with both getting coverage.

You only get one Yes Campaign but you can 'pick your Noes' is the line we are taking.

Dressing up campaign issues

The row over the use of southern-based workers in the referendum campaign erupted again yesterday in the wake of the latest pro-devolution stunt.
Labour backers of a `yes' vote yesterday brought out `Tory Boy' - a man sporting a blue rosette and a Michael Howard mask - to run a mock campaign against the assembly.
It is hoped the figure will help exploit the Conservatives' lack of popularity in the region and garner support for an assembly. But on the same day, it emerged that the volunteer who tried to exploit the role of London-based staff in the North East Says No campaign was himself a former London public schoolboy.
He delivered a train ticket back to London to the North East Says No office, wearing a giant rat fancy dress costume and a sign saying "Rather Arrogant Toff Southerners".
The `no' campaign says only its Press officer, who works for think tank New Frontiers, is based in London. And a student newspaper named the rat as Jack Holborn, a Durham University student, who attended the £15,000-a-year Westminster School.
