to be pissed that the Tories just broke my windscreen wiper

I live in a key marginal seat, so getting a lot of crap from the Tories and their propaganda. they felt the need to put the same leaflet through my door and under my windscreen wiper. The wiper was already fragile and had been taped back together but this has messed it up.

Doesn't help that the leaflet was a load of crap, taking about this torie guy a poses fracking even though the party has massively supported it and improving rail even though the nearest train station is 15 miles away!

Bloody hell 5 that's tenuous.

I also blame UKIP for wiping thousands off our house prices because a resident in our street has literally festooned his tree with giant Vote UKIP placards.

I don't know about thousands off house prices TSSNDNCOP but it doesn't set the tone for house prices or neighbourly relations which is what I'd look for.

My mum's neighbour has a Union Flag on a 12ft pole in his front garden. The sign of a bonkers neighbour that says to buyers: 'Step away.'

He and my mum were white. The family on the other side are black. It's provocation and also cowardly.

She's a respectable 40ish single mother with daughters who's an asset to the community. Even if she kept herself to herself, I'd defend her. Why should she bend over backwards to prove herself to be nice?

I suspect if they had a man around, the flag-flying neighbour wouldn't dare and would probably be terrified of the angry black man trope even though I doubt the kind of man my mum's neighbour would be involved with would be the kind of man to go hammering on some saddo's door with his bluds.

There are some, but not many BME people there.

We know who's lowering the tone.

PS it's not the black family. But I guess you knew that Wink

Lim I promise mine was a light-hearted post: he can put what he likes in his tree.

I'm looking out the window though at DS's treehouse which has a giant Union Jack flying on it and worrying if I've inadvertently offended the meighbours.

Oh, no. Please don't think I'm lumping you and your son in with my mum's difficult neighbours.

I always wanted a treehouse. Or at the very least bunkbeds - I'd have to have the top one though.
