CL yes, CARD no. I think CARD jumped on the bandwagon afterwards. One problem we have with Roland is that he sits in his office in Belgium and leaves his minions to take the flak. Taking the fight to nearer home is a good tactic IMO. Mountain & Mohammed etc.
I can confirm that the first trip to Belgium had very little CARD influence (for the leaflets we simply used the CARD ones and changed the words a bit) and the second had none whatsoever.
