Sunday
(0)Those Samizdata readers who like to see Blair attacked, but do not read The Guardian paper edition - which I guess includes most of you - are missing a treat this Monday morning. Have a look at the NO2ID website, and enjoy a very crisp piece of advertising created for the campaign pro bono*. I am glad to say that the Guardian is distributed in bulk to Labour Conference delegates.
* PS - But not, unfortunately, inserted by the Grauniad pro bono. If you want to see more of this sort of thing, then you know the words of St Bob.
Oh the irony of a non national database website that has a data entry field on the front page that allows you to enter your details on their database.

And when we start sending people around to drag your paranoid arse off to jail if you refuse to do so, then and only then, will there be any irony involved.
Or was Guy Herbert standing next to you with a gun to your head when you entered your (phony) details?

I must say, I do like that bit of advertising. Very effective.

The surgical excision of the humour glands seems to have been a success I notice?
In the meantime, trust nobody bearing data entry fields on the internet.

Nice one! More of this please (and ignore the trolls)!

Just to say congratulations Guy on that brilliant poster. Hope to see that all over Manchester this week.

Don't encourage them Perry, we waste enough money sending materials to phony addresses that we can't filter out by inspection, and visually inspecting for people who think they are being clever by typing in rubbish. (Would you believe the predominant form of entry into that form is spam for viagra and the like?)
However it does help us by adding to our supporter-base by a few dozen in an average week. Many more this week, we hope.

Guy,
How I would have loved having No2ID as a client when I was in the ad business. Brilliant work.

Outrage over ads depicting Blair as Hitler

Godwin's Law on a poster :-|
Still, I hope it is effective...
