As you would expect, running a website called eureferendum.com, we're busier than ever. I have an inbox full of well-wishers and volunteers. I've been down at Harrogate Agenda HQ this week plotting so I'm behind in the admin work but I promise I will get to you.
If you seriously want to help, get yourselves on Twitter and help us push Flexcit. If you don't understand Twitter, don't worry, neither do we. All we know is it gets results and we can drown out the kipppers who are polluting the internet with unfocussed garbage.
We have a team of Tweeters who will pick you up and follow you. We're lucky in that our team need no instructions or leadership. They get on with it. That's what we need more than anything. Self-starters. But as much as owning the message is important and snatching it away from Ukip, we need you to go out and recruit. Building our base is more important than ever. If Ukip makes the running we lose and lose badly.
That said, as readers will know we have irons in the fire behind the scenes. Those forces will soon be in the fight and we'll have something official to say soon. Richard and I are both working full time to bring everything we can to the fight. Some days it's horribly depressing but on other days we feel humbled by the incredible people we have, not least Autonomous Mind and Boiling Frog, Toby Goodman and White Wednesday. With allies like that, we deserve to win.
One thing we do need more than anything is money. There have been moves behind the scenes to silence this blog. We won't say who, but you know us well enough to know that we will never sell out and let the SW1 claque own the message with their half informed bilge. So long as we have an internet connection we will continue to dominate.
Behind the scenes we're improving the website in ways not immediately apparent but critical all the same. We're running a Twitter operation almost 24/7 and work on Flexcit continues. We have a reputation for not suffering fools gladly and while people tell us not to be so harsh on our own side, they go silent when we ask who exactly are we supposed to lavish praise on. Win or lose nobody will be able to say we weren't the most accurate, up to date and hard-working operation.
This is coming at great financial and personal cost. We have asked you before for donations and your response has been humbling, but this time the game is real. The MEP posers have EU pensions to keep them going, but we do what we do with what we've got. What follows is entirely up to you. The hundreds keep the wolf from the door. The thousands means we have game. Richard North won't ask. But I will. You people have had your money's worth over the years. Now it's your turn. We're the only game town who knows what's going on. Cough up. You know where the donate button is.
