Facebook reminders
For those just discovering the Stop Boris campaign now, you might not be aware of a couple our Facebook presence, and might want to join in over there:
Earlier this evening the group passed 1500 members, which was quite exciting. Unfortunately when it passed 1200 members Facebook decided it was too big for us to be able to send messages to all members (a ridiculous limitation which I can’t understand the logic of), so that’s a shame, but the group is still a good place to show your support for the campaign and speak to like-minded Londoners.
I’m afraid the group is only open to members of the London network, because that seemed a logical option to pick when setting it up in a fit of Boris-fear last July, and I had no idea that that option would be unchangeable!
The application has about 750 users so far and lets you put a condensed version of your choice of campaign poster onto your profile page, feeding a to-the-point version of its message into your Mini-feed and so hopefully into some of your friends’ News Feeds too. As the election approaches it could be worth changing your chosen poster every few days to increase awareness of the many reasons not to vote for Boris.

I’m on Facebook and I live in London. I wasn’t able to join the Stop Boris group as I’m not part of the London network (it doesn’t seem worth joining). But I’d like you to know both my partner and I will not be voting for Boris and will discourage our friends from voting this buffoon in.
