Just causing Royal Mail time and expense, not the Tories...

Well it's hardly likely to be classed as rubbish.

it wasn't rubbish coming through my letterbox.

You didn't have 10,000 turn up at once...

I think I'll send mine to Jeremy Corbyn since he doesn't seem to be too sure.

Eurosceptics liken PM to Mugabe over EU leaflets:

FURIOUS MPs last night accused the Government of squandering taxpayers' cash and breaching pledges to play fair in the European Union referendum campaign by producing a pro-EU leaflet to send every household in the UK

http://www.express.co.uk/news/politi...ney-MPs-Brexit

Nothing like a totally invalid comparison to convince people...

An angry Mr Lidington reminded him that campaigns in Zimbabwe involved ‘murder, maiming and intimidation of voters’ – suggesting Mr Evans’ outburst ‘was not his finest moment in the House’.

This sort of outrageous and extreme exaggeration really is getting very tiresome. Whether it's ridiculous comparisons with despots and mass murderers, the most vile personal abuse/attacks or even death threats, it's certainly not solely a product of the social media age but there's no doubt in my mind that it's becoming more common as people seek to demonise and intimidate anyone who has a different view. The fact that it's so often done supposedly in the pursuit of a better, fairer, more tolerant society only adds to the irony and hypocrisy.

Wow that leaflet is overall extremely dubious; ranging from at best sewing seeds of, and capitalising on, doubt and at worst out and out bovine excrement.

There is absolutely nothing in there I saw from my quick flick through and benefits of remaining in the EU and the improvements it may make to our lives going forward apart from a reference to mobile roaming charges.

If that's the best the government can do the decision is simple.

Thanks for that post. Just received my copy this morning, it's gone straight back in an envelope to that address with the appropriate "Junk Mail" written on it. Let's hope they receive a lot of the leaflets back, it's been a colossal waste of taxpayers money.

Done ours. Worth an envelope just to think of the revenge factor.

This leaflet, haven't got mine yet, seems to have caused a lot of outrage. Not, I think, because of it's content but because of it's being funded by the taxpayer. Someone mentioned Mobile Roaming Rates. WOW! What a great reason to stay in the EU. NOT!

I see the IMF are saying what might happen should we leave the EU but as we know they are so full of **** as we all know. I seem to remember them saying if we didn't join the Eure all this crap would happen. If things are going to be so bad if we leave the EU, why are the Germans interested in buying the London Stock Exchange? I think that the trade deals with the EU won't take as long as the Remainers say. I think that the EU will want to get things rapped up as quick as possible. Anyway, don't we have 2 years where nothing will change after an OUT vote? Plenty time to renegotiate.

Still I suppose I can use the leaflet as extra toilet paper when it arrives.

We must have had 101 suggestions of what to do with this leaflet. Love the FREEPOST suggestion (full address is : - FREEPOST RSBB-XRZT-ZTXE, The Conservative Party Foundation, 30, Millbank, London, SW1P 4DP).

As has been previously stated, doing that will just cost the Royal Mail time and money, as they go to a Royal Mail PO Box to be sorted first, and junk mail is taken out...

Plus, as quite possibly a majority of conservative grass roots are Brexit-inclined, you will end up wasting the time and money of those who are on your side.

You're much better off sending them to 10 Downing Street.

Who said I'm on the Brexit side Just don't agree with the public money being used to present one side of the argument.
