Qualitative comments described how this could include displaying campaign posters, or handing out leaflets close to polling stations. It is important to note that this is often a matter of differences in perception, with what campaigners may see as legitimate campaign efforts seen differently by voters.
Yet, in some instances cars were parked outside polling stations containing the campaign material. One CO said that they had ‘several instances of tellers having to be moved on due to their intimidation of the electorate.’ In another counting area:
We had one incident where a supporter of the exit campaign parked a car and the individual used a speaker to hail abuse at voters entering one polling station at [Location given]. Due to the attitude of the individual campaigning for exit Polling staff were advised to ring the Police but the incident passed before the Police arrived and it was not repeated.
Some COs reported, however, that the actions were often ‘”new” [campaigners] and were not familiar with the 'do's and don'ts'.’
67. When the affiliation of the agents involved in problems was cited by COs, they were all identified as leave campaigners.
As in the instance we are discussing the police were called and talked to the "agents" distributing leaflets then its fair to assume that the incident would have been recorded.

Anyone can make and print flyers
Stating “only use a pencil “
Even me !!!
I do a postal vote ,,, I herd you may have do it online?
Any way back pencilgate you only have to goggle it to find it’s not a one off.
Liverpool echo
Based on the fact it states that pencils are made available within all polling stations to be used.
So of course it's not a one off, every single polling station in the country has pencils for people to make their ballot paper for the reasons that it states in that article.
As moojor says, the article actually works against your argument.
The article also points out what I referred to earlier: you can use whatever implement you like, if you don't want to use the pencil provided in the booth.
It also makes clear the rules around sealing ballot boxes, and how these make fraud extremely difficult.
At the end of day,,, we have a vote.
Like it or not.
We will not be bullied or be bullied into anyone thinking,, With our freedom of speech or retaliation
If you, or anyone, makes a claim, it seems perfectly reasonable for others to ask for clarification regarding sources or evidence.
People are free to think what they like, but facts aren't matters of opinion.
This could be fun...
Just for clarity, I think you are suggesting that around 1m current expats will return permanently to the UK to secure on going access to affordable healthcare.
A totally different picture is painted of Greece by Murdoch and all the other right-wing press, as you are well aware of.
I think many leavers would be surprised to hear your account of the health service there as compared with ours.
My brother, who voted to leave the EU, is moving to Spain with his Remainer girlfriend next month.
The thing which was the "last straw" for him was travelling into London to work on the train and only hearing "other languages".
I know, I know, you couldn't make it up.
I asked him what he plans to do about health insurance.
He replied that Spain is so dependent on Brit tourism that there'd be "no problem". At this point, I gave up.
Brexit, a well thought out idea - not.
You didn't say whether you'll be having a wee dram :biggrin:
