Default Thanks to jim h

So far I have had replies from 4, 2 against a referendum, 1 in favour and the 4th who said he will listen to the debate and then decide".

REPLY: jim h, many thanks for taking this action. Whilst I think we in CREC have written a good letter to each of the Lords (will publish the full text soon - it's going out in the next 7 days), the *volume* of representations to them is what is going to count. The e-mails don't have to be long. The Lords' vote on the referendum could be absolutely critical to the future of this country. It is, arguably, such a watershed moment in our nation's history - just as was 1 January 1973. Thanks again
