In the past few days, from time to time – including in an e-mail today, thanks – people have been asking us if we can produce some Stop Boris leaflets to distribute.

We are now looking at the feasibility of providing something a bit more textual than the posters, for people to download, print/photocopy (we could make it black and white to assist!) and distribute, but one thing that has made us not prioritise this too much is the fact that really, fifteen different leaflets are effectively already available: the campaign posters.

These posters don’t contain too much text, so are likely to be read in full (unlike an overly wordy leaflet), but do cut straight to the point of a number of key issues, explaining the reasons why Boris needs to be stopped.

I think perhaps the ‘missing link’ has been that the posters are A4 PDFs, whereas leaflets would usually be A5. While it’s technically possible to print two to a side of A4, thus making them A5, it isn’t always easy to set up your printer or software to sort this out. (If your printer takes A5 paper, though, you can choose to fit the poster to the page size and that should work fine.)

So we’re going to sort out some copies of the posters that are laid out two to a sheet of A4 in the PDF, so you can just print it out and cut it in half. Hopefully that’ll do for now, but we will continue to look at the possibility of more textual leaflets covering more of the issues too.

Will anyone actually want to print and/or distribute any leaflets though?

And if so, would you rather we prepared them in black and white, colour, or a choice of each?
