I've had a bit of a play around with it but, just as I’d finished, (see below), I found this on the Facebook Vapersflashmobsuk page:
www.banner-links.com/ImportantEU-A4-v2-plain.doc It’s a link to a plain text word document, that downloads automatically to your computer, for a leaflet to be edited and printed if wanted. It’s probably even better as it’s a really indepth explanation of the situation, so even more educational for the public and vapers who aren't aware. Just needs the location changing to Birmingham. I’d also add family & friends welcome to swell our numbers as we need a really good turnout. More threads:

HELP SAVE ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES
WE URGENTLY NEED YOUR SUPPORT!
11am on 11th January 2014
Outside BBC Studios, in the Mailbox, Birmingham
If you wish to continue vaping, without the proposed EU restrictions, please join us
Ecigs are a proven 99% safer, life changing alternative to smoking cigarettes; already successfully used by approximately 1.3 million in the U.K alone. As a recreational product, they are currently regulated for consumer protection and we welcome further quality control regulations. However, ten years on the market, they are now growing so rapidly, they have become a major threat to pharma and tobacco companies. Due to intense pressure from these industries, the EU are planning to add so many restrictions to Ecigs, we would be left with a choice of poor quality, non refillable, low nicotine cig-a-likes, such as those found in supermarkets and petrol stations, or returning to smoking! Should the EU succeed in their ultimate goal of unnecessarily over regulating and classing them as medicinal devices, because of the massively prohibitive cost of licences and testing that would be required, (only affordable for the pharma and tobacco industries), the result would be an effective ban of the complete diverse and constantly evolving range of products we currently enjoy:
• No DIY mixing due to restrictions on the sale of nicotine.
• No current ready made e-liquids and many flavour restrictions.
• No refillable clearomisers or tanks.
• No Mods
We Vapers need to educate and increase vaping’s profile to prevent it from being silently swept under the carpet by people with not so well hidden agendas.
Peaceful protests, at various media locations worldwide, are being arranged against the outrageous proposed EU ecig ban for 11th January at 11am. In Great Britain they are being held outside BBC television studios with the aim of making our united voice heard.
Please join us and pass this message forward. The support of family and friends is most welcome to swell our ranks and please remember that these events are to raise awareness of vaping by vapers; if you are a vendor, please attend, but in your capacity as a vaper. Dress code: Black if poss.
