Uncle Mort said:And bigotry!
Davidc said:Definitely. Just because Poles are East Europeans she shouldn't have singled them out .....
magnatom said:What is the point in the election lampost poster things that each party put up around about elections time? You know the sort, it simply says Labour, or Conservative, Lib Dem etc. That's it. No message, except maybe the word, 'VOTE'.
Do people look at this bumf and say, hmm, look, labour have put there bumf higher up on the lampost than the Tories. That shows they aim higher, I'll vote for them!
Is this not the biggest waste of money/resources/time/paper ever? Or is that politics in general I am talking about....
theclaud said:I'll remind Badders that I haven't admitted to anything, just made an observation about fitness of purpose. Anyway, theft is not really the term I'd use. I prefer to think of it as a cross between campaigning and the active redistribution of property.
ComedyPilot said:Funny how local businesses have to apply to councils for permission before placing advertising boards at the side of a road.
Politicians can stick their inane, grinning, smirking, cringing, creepy profiles everywhere and not be questioned?
classic33 said:Not strictly true. The same laws apply, no matter what type of advertising is being done.
They should by rights seek planning permission before placing them. This process takes time & effort, two things that they don't want to get involved in. No planning permission makes the sign illegal & the party possible guilty of illegal practices.
Report it to the local council & they are duty bound to remove it.
