No action will be taken, as they’re on the right side of the establishment. Thwarting Brexit will have serious consequences for our nation and relationships between ourselves for many years. Class system very much alive in UK

Maybe a more impartial comment on this is needed than Guido. Sounds like the regulated period wouldn’t have started in Jan, likely when Purdah starts (15 April). Nice sleight of hand though with the dates

Sounds as though they hope to treat it a bit like the £9million the Govt spent on leaflets before the Referendum & claim it ‘doesn’t count’!

More b*llsh*t. They are not a party. They are not affiliated to a party. And since when was billboards re-stating public quotes by public figures a crime ? Pull the other one with this faux, paint-by-numbers outrage thing.

Assume you’re not a lawyer Temujin, or capable of reading electoral commission guided. Here you go. They are a non-party campaigner. They are publishing electoral materials. They have spending limits. If they exceeed them, they’re brekaing the law.https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/i-am-a/party-or-campaigner/non-party-campaigners …

The claim is including the money spent on 200+ posters that were put up months ago when Britain wasn't supposed to be having an election for the MEPs and which in no way could be reasonably regarded as intended to influence voters for or against any parties or candidates.
-
There won’t be any ‘reasonably regarded’ about it. There is a date. They will be required to provide evidence of the dates of all their publications that are ‘election materials’. If it exceeds the limits they are in breach.
-
The guidelines say "reasonably (key word) regarded as intended to influence voters for/against parties or candidates" They have been putting up tweets and quotes from prominent Brexiteers for months, nothing directly to do with these actual elections. Eg, this one from the PM.pic.twitter.com/2CulI0aBJt
-
There will be no doubt that the poster campaign is intended to deter voters voting for the Brexit Party. Their intent is self admitted. The only issues will be the dates of the publications and the costs.
-
The majority of posters went up before the Brexit party existed. The majority went up when we weren't expected to be having these elections. The majority cannot "reasonably" be deemed to have been placed to influence these elections. If you are a lawyer, you're not very good.

How would you know? I’m not the one making assertions about prospects of defence or of prosecution. I’m merely saying that ‘armchair’ Twitter analysis of what may or may not constitute election material is irrelevant. How many years PQE are you?

I agree. Companies with 50+ staff and +£10m in sales should be funding private healthcare for certain employees I pay £350 a month for my BUPA policy and, at the moment, it’s worth every penny

Except they haven't breached any rules. This desperate claim can easily be debunked within a few minutes.
-
Imbecile. Read the rules on this stuff then retract.
-
Read the rules thanks. The article has fudged the figures to include spending on previous billboards that don't directly have anything to do with this election.

And the NCA investigation of Vote Leave and Arron Banks, Julia? Oh dear?
-
And Peoples Vote funding ?
-
Nobody has ever claimed illegality in PV funding. But plenty have for Vote Leave and for Farage
