SAD NEWS ABOUT EUROFACTS

Keith Carson of Eurofacts selling June Press publications at a UKIP rally.

The sad news has been received that after fourteen years of ceaseless production a decision has been made to end the production of the extremely informative Eurofacts newsletter.

Eurofacts was a fortnightly eight page newsletter which reported on the EU problem, gave quotes from prominent people both in the EU and also the campaign against EU domination. As part of the June Press which sells a whole range of anti-EU books and literature, Eurofacts also gave updates of meeting and events around the country which was an invaluable service for those in the campaign who were organising meetings and events.

In a letter to its readers the Eurofacts editorial team stated: 

"Dear Subscriber,

eurofacts to cease publication

We are writing to let you know that, fourteen years after its founding, eurofacts will shortly cease publication. The last issue will be that dated 19th June 2009 and numbered Vol 14 No 17.

This is a voluntary decision, taken after much deliberation by the management team consisting of the two founders, Ian Milne and Keith Carson, and the editor Gerald Frost. The reason is that, in what is turning out to be a prolonged and deep recession, we are no longer confident in our ability to secure the substantial funding needed to cover the publication’s operating costs.

eurofacts’ unbroken fourteen-year track record comprises 330 issues, twelve pamphlets and fourteen Data & Historical Fact Sheets, with over 660,000 copies delivered to readers.

Recent polls show that British public opinion is more solidly eurosceptic than ever, something to which eurofacts has no doubt contributed.

Few publications are fortunate enough to have readers as intelligent, as faithful, as committed and as active as eurofacts. We are immensely grateful to all of you for your support and interest. The time will come - sooner perhaps than we expect - when our country once again becomes an independent self-governing democracy, and we are confident that eurofacts and its readers will be judged to have played a significant part in bringing that happy state about.

Once again, our sincerest thanks.

Yours sincerely,

Ian Milne Keith Carson Gerald Frost

Chairman Managing Director Editor"

A sad loss to our campaign indeed, we will all miss this important source of information.
