Neighbour has put political banner on his fence

Our neighbour’s house has a fence which faces a fairly busy road. He has taken it upon himself to tie a political banner (think ‘vote X’) to that fence.

Before anyone says it, yes I know it’s his property. But said party are divisive and I worry there may be some unwarranted attention as a result.

Do you think we would be unreasonable to politely suggest it is taken down, or to compromise, only put there during election periods?

Yes it’s a Reform banner. Each to their own in terms of politics, but being the first thing you see when turning in to our street is not great. I feel sorry for any residents who are thinking about selling their house soon.

Why does it concern you?

As long as people don't start on him/ throw bricks at his window or worse.. I'd leave it be... but if something does happen like that.. then inform the police.. happened on my friends street.. her neighbour put up a " Reform" banner.. bricks were thrown at the window... that affected her small children.. they became very frightened.

Is it a Reform banner?

"Unwarranted attention"? What do you mean and who from?

Unless he's supporting something illegal then I think you should mind your own business.

Are you serious?

If there is any comeback it’s on him - not the neighbours!

I think you should stay in your lane on this one.
