I received a letter from them about postal voting, rather disturbingly there was an Indyref2 propaganda leaflet from the SNP inside. Anyone have any idea why the LVJB are promoting this stuff?

It can't be from the VJB. Is it not from the SNP? They are sending out letters and forms asking people to register for postal voting.

[Mon Dieu4]

The letter I received about postal voting was from the SNP and enclosed LVJB forms to register for postal voting, dunno why the SNP are promoting the LVJB, I'm a staunch voter in person, I don't need their propaganda about postal voting

The address on the return envelope is to LVJB headquarters 17a South Gyle Crescent.

But I think you're right, it's from the SNP encouraging people to vote by post, also to print forms for family and friends.

As a previous member of the SNP party I used to get all the stuff through the post, I've since changed address so I wonder how the party machine got my new address.

Bloody Government, trying to save money by putting 2 letters in the one envelope.

Is my vaccine appointment in there as well?

I've elevated this to an omnishambles now.

All political parties have access to the voters roll, there is no grand conspiracy

How much money do you think they spent sending every address in Scotland a letter?

[CropleyWasGod]

I wisny being serious :greengrin

The SNP must think it's worth it. It's their money.

Glad to see my membership fees being put to good use. :wink:

They've not sent one to you too, have they? Disgrace of a shambles.

I flagged up a potential GDPR issue to my SNP MP a year or two ago and never heard a peep back. The SNP send out all of their membership information in envelopes plastered with "SNP" and "IMPORTANT MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION CONTAINTED WITHIN"

I argued that the membership of a political party is considered sensitive personal information (there is no argument, it is). They should not be disclosing my political affiliations along with my name and address that can be seen by all.

I don't think they should be encouraging people to print out forms for family and friends either, but hey ho, I'm sure it's all above board.

Why not?

If it encourages more people to vote by post, that has to be a good thing, no?

If you ever get a reply the envelope'll probably have apparent bias in it.

Interesting one this. I often get letters from, say, my mortgage lender with similar words on the envelope. I can understand why they do that, so that I don't just bin it. Would you put those kind of letters in the same "sensitive personal" category?

[ronaldo7]

Those shielding during the Pandemic have been advised to vote by post. A letter was sent out by the SG advising so. Keeping people safe...what next.:greengrin

I don't think it would be as things like political affiliation, membership of a trade union and medical information is all considered to be more sensitive data than a bank statement or mortgage renewal, etc.

Plus you would now that your data had been breached as the envelope would need to be bee opened in order to access the data.

My issue is with the fact that my membership of a political party is out on display, smack bang in the middle of the envelope.

I get you. Have you asked the ICO? I'm sure you're not the only person who has thought about it.

FFS, postal voting propaganda is one thing, but surely it's not Sturgeon's fault you've got bad breath?

That woman! :bitchy:

If the stamp is upside down, it'll be that Krankie's fault....

Halitosis/heilloses I get it, but I must confess to expecting better standards of word play from you. :tsk tsk:

I'll take being associated with frivolity and will endeavour to sink to new levels of mundane moaning, I derive extreme pleasure from it. Normal service will be resumed.

As opposed to the usual hot air.

Looks like they're trying to steal the election to me. Don't count illegal votes!

Donald will keep them straight.

Why would you rather those people found it harder to vote!

[Jack]

My wife and I got the same letters.

Finally after years of nagging my wife to download the forms, get them filled in and send them off its happening. No thanks to her!

The SNP, getting things done ✔



Nicola Sturgeon can I marry you?

Yep. I got more mail from them than I did Christmas cards 😂

That's the first LibDem leaflet through the door. I'm hoping to get my bathroom papered this year.

That's an appalling slur on AC-H, and my constipation.


The leaflet is on recycled paper. When I called them out last time about the waste of resources, their answer was "but it's all done on recycled paper". Seriously. :rolleyes:
