    New Coir posters - Admission of guilt on €1.84 claim?

    COIR have new posters up around Dublin city centre. Tagged "Kiss your freedom goodbye", the posters are pink and heart-shaped, with slogans like "The eu loves low wages" and "The eu loves control" (see new "Round 2" posters at http://www.coircampaign.org/index.ph...uments/posters).

    Are COIR finally admitting they were badly wrong with their "€1.84?" posters? Is changing tack in mid-stream a sign of panic? In this regard, you might be interested to read Tommy O'Brien's excellent post on the typical roll-out of a campaign, especially on the importance of sticking to your original message: http://www.politics.ie/2065175-post162.html.

    All politicians lie. So using the "OMG YOU LIE SO WE SHOULD VOTE AGAINST YOU" argument is quite poor.

    Granted, they aren't politicians - but policitians calling them out on lying is highly hypocritical.

    How is that changing the message they originally conveyed?

    No. A No vote will mean higher borrowing costs for the state which will translate into a slower recovery and fewer jobs.

    Please don't attempt to brand me as a simple no follower who loves all the No posters now - I've attacked Coir posters and the lies from both sides several times. I honestly believe these posters will do a LOT better than the last set.
