Suffice to say that the `Out` campaign is outraged by this misuse of government funds and blatant bias to promote their own agenda, money that could quite easily have been directed elsewhere for good purposes.

Can we assume that the Out campaign will receive the same amount of public funds to present their case? Can we hell.

I think the "stay in" lot may have scored a home run and shot themselves in the foot. More likely to make people vote out than before

In addition, UKIP is allowed to spend £4 million on the Out Campaign.

That article (dated Thursday 8 October 2015) doesn't mention UKIP's £4 million or its' source(s) .....

According to the article, £7 million is the amount that the cross-party "Leave" campaign will be allowed to spend during the official campaign period and, apparently, is not sourced by the government but by private donations, which could well exceed that figure.

I don't think I've spoken to one single person as yet that wants to stay in.

Re: Blatant EU bias

I have already had a leaflet from one of the 'Leave ' groups a couple of weeks ago , I can't remember who is was now

but it made a lot of sense.

I read it and binned it , don't know who funded that.

Re: Blatant EU bias

When I get this wonderful leaflet about staying in , I fully intend doing, as some-one suggested, sending it back to Downing Street.
It is a scandal that K9 has been spent on it , how much good that would have done for the NHS.
