There was outrage from the Scottish Indy lot.

re: [Update] The UK votes to leave the EU
The great and good urging us to vote ‘in’ have been bought off by Brussels

Those who want out of the EU sometimes fret that Brussels might firehose money at Britain’s pro-EU campaign, but it doesn’t need to, not directly. Eurocrats are savvy enough to realise that British voters would bridle at having their own taxes spent on telling them how to vote. So, in general, they prefer to launder sponsorship through supposedly independent third parties.

Sorry, I meant from all the non-Scottish politicians, etc., who are now bloviating about it.

The Electoral Commission is not impressed:

Yeah, people only see it as wrong when it affects their side.

Signed. over 117,000 now. 
Funny how they always use that picture of Cameron that looks like he's straining on a very big log.

Signed it as well as there should be fairness on both sides of the divide.

re: [Update] The UK votes to leave the EU
Won't be getting mine hopefully. I opt out of RM door to door (you can do it here:- https://personal.help.royalmail.com/...etail/a_id/293), although probably too late for this piece of propaganda, and my postie usually ignores my opt out anyway 
Although I'm a 'Inner', it's outrageous public money is being used just to present one side of the argument. Can't believe the Electoral Commission is allowing it.

re: [Update] The UK votes to leave the EU
I opted out of the RM junk mail and it stopped for a while but now it's as bad as ever. The propaganda can join the hate letters from TVL making compost.

As far as i'm concerned the government can spend what the electoral commission say they can ,what Camerons done is rush through an extra piece of campaigning to back his view before the proper campaigning period begins .The electoral commission should stop any more public money being used by the in campaign because they have already spent 2.5m of public money more than the commission said they could

re: [Update] The UK votes to leave the EU
Surely HMG can defend its position without trying to give the impression that the only risks arise from leaving the EU. It'll be interesting to see whether this 'information' makes any attempt whatsoever to present the problems of staying in.

This will be a singularly biased bit of scaremongering. If the electoral commission deem that the stay campaign have now shot their bolt, financially, then Brexit is home and dry.
