wascal Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 I have travelled over 1000 miles this week and have seen numerous defaced conservative posters but no defaced labour ones. Strangely in mainly conservative areas . Why do they think they have the right to damage other people property I may not agree with someone politics and I will argue my point with them but i wouldn't rip down their posters Is it a certain type of person ? I think it's a form of tribalism, a bit like football supporters . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salop Matt Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 wascal, am sure your not the only one who has observed this. It would be unfair of me to tar all Labour voters the same but I cant help up think of a large percentage of them being very similar and exactly the reason I vote Tory !

Newbie to this Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) Extreme Left is dangerous, mainly because they don't see it as extreme. If it was the other way they would all be out condemning it. Double standards, Labour seem to draw 'Activists' as they call themselves.

ditchman Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 there is a thought going round that the defaced posters are been done by their own people to shed a poor light on the oposition...... in the time of fake news ...liars...money...etc ............i would not be surprised......... think upon that one if you will.........

Gunnut Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Who would want to deface a poster of Mr Corbyn, he's ugly enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrowningB525 Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 I have defaced (romoved and took home) a poster in the past (labour). But as a rule, mindless vandalism is a left or far right trait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wascal Posted June 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 there is a thought going round that the defaced posters are been done by their own people to shed a poor light on the oposition...... I think most conservative voters haven't the time ! They are too busy at work . I know this is a sweeping generalisation but " many a true word is spoken in jest" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big bad lindz Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 This happened a lot in the Scottish yes no independence referendum and a very large percentage of the no posters in my area were defaced , taken down or a yes poster put over them. There is a story about a farmer in rural Aberdeenshire who was a very staunch no supporter and he had some signage and posters put up in prominent areas of his farmland near a busy road and these were defaced or taken down every other day so he decided to put his prize bull in the field along with his posters and a big NO white wash painted on the bulls flanks and this put a stop to the posters being defaced.
