OT:

According to a comment http://umbrellog.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1000250&p=83486#p83486 at eureferendum.com, Labour MEP has Richard Corbett
made the following request, which reads in part :

... I am therefore writing to ask if you could help in a simple but potentially effective way: simply to remind everyone on your personal email mailing list, and if possible your work email mailing list, to urge them to use their right to vote.

I am therefore suggesting that you might consider something along the following lines which you can cut and paste and adapt to send to as many people as you feel appropriate:



Dear XXXX

I am sending this round-robin to urge you to vote in the European elections later this week –Thursday 4th June.

Many people think that European elections don’t matter. They do. ...

In addition there is a real threat, under this proportional representation election, that the BNP might win a seat and gain the platform and legitimacy of being among Britain’s elected representatives in the European Parliament. In Yorkshire & Humber, they will take a seat off Labour if they get more than half of Labour’s share of the vote. That seat is held by Richard Corbett, one of the most hard working and committed MEPs.[emphasis added] The thought of him being replaced by Andrew Brons, a former leader of the National Front and an open admirer of Hitler, is truly appalling.

I would urge you to vote and to pass on this message to family. Friends, neighbours and colleagues at work, urging them to do likewise, either by word of mouth, or by forwarding this message to them by email.

Best wishes.

XXXXXXX

If you feel able to do this, I would be most grateful. Please do not hesitate to give me a call if you want to discuss it and please feel free to adapt the text as you feel necessary.

Best wishes,

Richard Corbett
Labour Member of the European Parliament for Yorkshire & Humber"

All dailies down - interwesting, mwah ha ha.

Can we have some Gio news?

It doesn't add up... said...

Some curious omissions from your lists... Does no-one read the FT anymore, or watch C4 news for example? You might also find it informative to have a category for "none". I virtually never watch any TV news (and usually if I do it is involuntary, being in someone else's house when it happens).

Oh Lord, the only paper showing an increase is the Mail. How depressing.

I assume read means via any media? Does anyone still buy the paper versions any more

How come the FT was not included in your survey? That's the paper I normally read.
