Default Ignoring Yes to Lisbon Leaflet handout people

There have been a lot of Lisbon Yes people handing out leaflets around Dublin over the last couple of days, you have probably seen a few in yellow vomit coloured T-shirts. I stopped to observe them for a while and I was amazed by how many people that were refusing to take their leaflets of lies.

I haven't yet seen any No to Lisbon people handing out leaflets apart from some red neo-communists outside the Dart a couple of weeks ago, where is Libertas, surely you can get a few volunteers to hand out leaflets.

I'd help myself but I know I would blow a fuse with ignorant confrontational Yes people. Is anyone here volunteering, what has been your general experience so far; anger, apathy, or interest?

apathy .... people never take leaflets outside on the street, so that isn't unique to Lisbon Referendum.

Starting to get a lot of Yes and fewer don't know... that wasn't the case a few days ago.

Coir was outside Pearse Station today.

Couple of Black guys up our way this evening shoving De Rossa's drivel through our letter boxes - Ironic he couldn't even find any Irish people to do this for him!

Please tell me your having a laugh Catalpa? The optics of that are unbelieveable! Has anyone in the Labour Party got a functioning brain? The optics of that, immigrants pushing Yes literature, will drive up the No vote turnout in that area.

They're black - doesn't mean they're immigrants.

Anyway, how many leaflets do people get pushed through their letterboxes for all sorts of things without having a clue about the individuals delivering them?

These guys were not Irish - if they were that's fine by me.

They're black - almost everyone is going to assume they are a pair of Nigerians. Whether they are not is immaterial, it's the perception that matters.
