I can't upload it here but you can read it at http://campaignforlittlebritain.com/blog/ My company's involvement in the campaign is well documented, for instance it is actually on the campaigh web site and it has been written up by other local newspapers. I guess you missed this. Political campaign, spoof or otherwise, employs marketing company? Hardly a revelation. A "figment of our imagination"? No, in the sense of it being something that tangibly exists. Yes, in the sense of our "take" on it. I really hope the repetitive use of my name is just your writing style, I half suspect it's an illustration of what I left England to get away from. Cheers Rupert Pete,

A laser mounted on the roof of the Greenwich observatory will be directed at its replica producing a visually stunning "bridge of Light effect" or b.o.l.e. This beam will act as a guide to pilots of air and sea vessels as they navigate their way across the Atlantic. We intend this "bridge of light" to become an international symbol of the friendship between the UK and the USA. Who's in?

I don't like the idea of a neighborhood being born in this cynical kind of way either. May I change my position please? I just looked at Rupert’s company website and everything you say is correct.

You are also in bed with Amazon who as we all know murder Penguins in Antartica and Azerbaijan. I've got no problems with you contributing indirectly to organised crime - and no doubt narcotics offenses to boot - by spreading online gambling but don't think you can go after this other chap who's name I forget when he is afterall in gainfull employment.
