The Desperate EU Yes Men

“TV Agony Aunt, Denise Robertson has slammed the Yes Campaign for attributing misleading quotes to her.
Denise has always been a supporter of a Yes vote, but was very concerned that it might lead to the break up of the country.

It now appears that she and her name has been well and truly used by the Yes Campaign who have now been forced to apologise. To read the story please click here Neil Herron: Sunderland born Yes ‘Celebrity’ furious about Yes Campaign Leaflet:

A little window of the thinking behind the Yes campaign run by the EU backed Professor John Tomaney. Whether by accident or by design the Electorial Commision has given the professor’s campaign a boost by designating the Tory baked no campaign as official opposition. As the Tories are not liked in the North East, this has allowed the Yes campaign to use the Electorial Commissions inexplicable choice, as a big stick to use against anyone who opposes their plans to breaks up Britain into smaller units.

TV agony aunt Denise Robertson, a backer of Yes4theNorthEast, was outraged at remarks on a Yes4theNorthEast mailshot. Mrs Robertson, whose husband and son both support a no vote, was quoted as saying: “Most people who are against us are from London.” But yesterday she said: “I didn’t say that, nor do I believe it. I’m ashamed of being associated with that. “It’s entirely contrary to my beliefs. I can only apologise that my name is linked with this rubbish.

Yes it is rubbish, put out amongst the other lies the yes campaign have issued over that past month or so. But it clearly shows the paucity of Professor Tomaney campaign when they have to resort to these tactics in their desperate attempt to get this first referendum under their belts before embarking on the next bite of the cherry.

We should all be watching these machinations of the Yes campaign with concern, if these people find these tactics successful in the North East, we can expect a repeat in the rest of the country. This is also likely to be the proving ground for the EU Constitution Referendum this is just a foretaste of what we can expect from this government and their EU backed henchmen.
