The @telegraph decided not to publish our response to @timothy_stanley 13 September piece (aol.com/articles/people-vote…), in which he called those organising the EU flags at the #lastnightoftheproms “sad sack Remainers”. We believe in open dialogue and free speech, so we’ve published our response here...
