Purdah period set to silence officials on EU referendum from Friday

[TomandJerry]

The flurry of officially backed statements warning about the dangers of Brexit will come to an end on Friday, when Treasury officials enter a four-week “purdah” that prevents any activity that could be perceived as an attempt to sway the outcome of the 23 June vote.

Civil servants will no longer be able to publish reports such as the Treasury analysis on Monday that stated that in the event of a vote to leave the EU, output would fall up to 6%, house prices would tumble and half a million jobs would be lost.

True, us that bitch from the IMF will conveniently issue a report a few days before hand.

Hallelujah !

Though current reports from both sides indicate that we cannot reverse the pending doom that a vote for either option will cause.
