Election poster thefts investigated by police (From Daily Echo)

There have been a a fair few election poster thefts in Gosport and Lee on Solent, I think that the local population have got the hots for Caroline Dineage, there are rumoured to be Miss Dineage posters on a lot of the towns bedroom walls now!

Hmmm .... I'm not sure who would want a poster of Sandra Gidley?!

A crusty dusty musty old disenchanted Labour supporter with just the one 78LP playing over and over and over again, who no longer has the hots for Mrs T as she past her sell-by-date????? "

Nice to know the Police are investigating thefts of political posters rather than catching real criminals. I know theft is theft, but even so, it seems like a waste of resources to me.

I don't see the point in declaring one's political intentions by putting up these posters. Some of them are too large and also they are "in your face." They are worse than estate agents signs.

Why would a labor suppoter have the hots for thatcher?

I have managed to resist getting my marker pen out under the cover of darkness and blacking the 2 front teeth in addition to adding a moustache & glasses to the massive Caroline Nokes poster in my village....the thought of it happening gives me a wry smile every time I pass it though!

Glad to see that Police time is being put to good use, NOT!

My Vote Lib Dem poster was ripped down too, and I live in the centre of Southampton.
It happens, it shouldn't but it does.
But for Caroline Noakes to suggest it's a concerted campaign by the Lib Dems is laughable, as if we have the time with our limited resources to go and remove signs! We're too busy trying to win votes by leafletting and talking to people!

Love the blank space where the picture would normally be.

Echo has a sense of humour after all.

A fake, fair weather Pinnoccio Canute-ing Falute-ing Socialist who drools over Tide Tables upside down and who cannot accept an Ice Rink will never be built in this fair city in a gazillion years?

Stockholm Syndrom subjected soul fed intense propaganda who ends up believing the World is flat and communist in colour??

Reverse-logic political perversion?

Someone who knows everything about everything that ever was and ever will be? But who in Truth knows sod all about nothing?

Who knows? The World is a strange place, especially when considering the sanity/authenticity of some political poster pundits . . . say no more, a nod is as good as a wink to a fibbing Southy, Easty, Westy, Up-The Kyber-Pass, I-Left-My-Leftie-Vot
e-In-My-Back-Pocket-

Someone who heated their 78 LP and turned it into a natty flower bowl to house a single but wilting red rose to proudly display on their window-sill, behind faded net curtains?

Who knows?

So many imponderables in Life. ie Who is going to be the next USA lapdog to sit in number 10?

"But who in Truth knows sod all about nothing?"
Surely this sentance indicates that whoever you are referring to is therefore very knowledgable with regard to everything...

I hope the Police are spending an equal or greater amount of time checking that posters have been legally displayed in the first place.

It is, and I know the culprits who tore down conservative posters in my area in 2005. Don't want to provoke slander, but if I did say who is was, you'd be surprised. They even bragged about their achievements in the local hairdressers. At the end of the day, these tired out old parties are as bad as each other in their tit-for-tact attacks on each other, not to mention calling voters bigots.

all it is walter, its because i am a socialist and an atheist and he cant drive me off this web site like he and a few others have done so in the pass with other left wing thinking people. and because they was unable to do that, there are a few more left wing thinking people now starting to hang round and post on here.
the police need to look at that anti-democratic religious lot, there is only a very small number of those crack pots. but they are there.

Those Creationists are a bit of an odd bunch Southy and strangely intolerant also.....

very true, but dont forget those fire and brimstone lot, they are just has bad, another lot that is undemocratic lot

What are you on about? You say that it is religious groups that are doing this, but you haven't got a shread of proof. Want to know something? I unfortunately studied politics as a degree and where I went to study, a lecturer who was a labour supporter was caught trying to hand out false ballot papers. There have been stories of people from all of our tired parties who were found guilty of rigging the postal voting system, two of which were in Havant four years ago. Prominent Lib Dems tore down posters in Chandler's Ford and were seen but they got away with it. I know, becuase I saw it happen! So don't be a chicken and give us your proof, otherwise stop incrimminating yourself.

Put aside the bleeding heart whining persecution complex. It was the early Christians who got persecuted - thought you knew that. But maybe you are a closet Christian and fake Atheist, along with the clutter of all your other folksy fakiness??

A more serious "intimation" of the democratic process is the first past the post electoral system which can result in the losers being the winners and a vast swathe of the electorate being unrepresented in parliament.

To be fair we need to have some from of proportional representation.

Security word: disillusioned

spitting the dummy out yet again. early christians might of got persecuted. less than 2,000 years ago. but not the first lot to be persecuted. and look at all the persecution that the christians have done ever since a mono religion was invented.
religion is an evil to the human race, out of most the wars in the last 2000 years, it been christians behind most of them and starting them. out of all the world religion's christians have been at the root cause of most wars.

are you a member of this anti-democratic religious lot, you sound like one. i not incrimminating myself and theres you who said you studied politics, should know that, so i take it you was't any good at it, mind you thats not an easy one to study you can study politics a whole life time and still only scratch the edge, there is to many veriables in the pass and in the future, your final lesson would off been, whitch type of politics will dominate in the near future (this could mean any where up to the next 200 years to take place) and why and what could happen next, you answer here should of been socialism is the next type of politics, with atheist politics following.

tell me some thing what are the religious lot going to do when mankind comes across and meets up with a superior alien that dont look like man, are they going to change the bible yet again, because its will happen sooner or later, there are way to many stars in the sky with planets for it not to happen, the odds say it will

There you go again . . . rambling as usual and spouting dribbling dreary grey nonsense.

Such myopic defensiveness - it teeters on acutely boring the socks off anyone with more than a mono brain cell.

Nice to see people sticking up for crime! lol. Shows what a great state our country is in...that's exactly what the policy have to do with minimal resources at the moment..."is anyone getting stabbed or shot at this precise moment? No...well it's not in our jurisdiction then"...and whose fault is that? Labour...with all their red tape and administration the police spend more time in an office rather than out catching criminals.

Come on the Tories and the Libs...the top 2 parties in the country!!

Almost intelligible.

Almost lucid.

Almost readable.

Not your usual disjoined pathetic prose.

I guess you got someone to write for you. But a one out of ten literary effort doesn't mask the dumb brain struggling to communicate.

You really don't get it. You get wrapped up in defending your personality. That is not the issue. The issue is your tired, clapped-out 19th century failed ideas and dreary thinking in clumsily and dishonestly promoting them. Thank heavens your ideas will never win the day.

It would be alright if you actually leafletted people with Lib Dem policies, rather than the rubbish being put through my door saying, did you know that in 1972 your Tory rep for Hedge end Botley dropped chewing gum on the floor and laughed.. which is pretty much what you have based your whole campaign. Could I easily list the Tory policies.. yes.. Could I list yours? Absolutely not.. your whole campaign has been why not to vote Tory rather than what you are actually going to do. Your party and their tactics make me sick. I hope you lose!
