    Referendum Commission: Subliminal Messaging

    Anyone else get the latest propaganda leaflet from the Referendum Commission in the door?

    The hands make a very definite 'Y' for 'Yes' and it's as if the Lisbon Treaty is to be welcomed with open arms.

    Another fine example of a useless, corrupt quango.

    Nowhere near as "subliminal" as the RC propaganda sheet for Nice 2 which shamelessly and blatently had those open arms gathering in the ten new accession states.

    No actually. Once I get my scanner working, you'll see there are obvious subliminal messaging tactics taking place.

    There are plenty of threads already about why voting 'No' is in the best interests of this independent and free country.

    We're also going to have to ban the Village People until after the vote.

    There is a lot of subliminal messages with the hands on the video for YMCA.

    I would be more concerned about the leaflet content rather than the logo. The Nice2 leaflet logo was blatent propoganda and a lie as enlargment was possible without nice.

    It's a pity the Referndum Commission wouldn't at least update their website seeing as they're getting so much money poured in their direction.

    Are the Village People responsible for relaying impartial information to the population?
