    O/T:- Electoral commission

    I read yesterday that the leave campaign (Aaron Banks) was cleared yesterday of breaking the law in the 2016 referendum. According to the police no case to answer.
    Does anyone know if this is true? because the impartial BBC haven't covered the story so I have my doubts.
    After all they did have blanket coverage when they were accused.

    Incorrect. See link in previous post.

    Insufficient evidence, but clearly rules were broken.

    How anyone can think that the BBC isn't impartial and that Father Christmas doesn't exist is beyond me.

    If it's that clear, surely there is evidence and a charge would be forthcoming? As there is no evidence, it obviously isn't that clear?

    Then they can't be guilty of anything then.

    The spokesperson added: "As the Metropolitan Police note, this does not alter the findings of the commission's investigation from May last year, which found Ms Bilney to have committed four offences, including of submitting an inaccurate spending return and of exceeding the spending limit.

    "Leave.EU appealed these findings, but the commission's position was upheld in court."
