Would I be unreasonable to deface this poster

BNP poster attached to railings at intersection - it says:

"People like you vote BNP"

There is just enough room to scrub out 'you' and put Nazis.

I'm seriously considering it - I'm all for democracy and I wouldn't give a rats ass if someone defaced the Tory ones with 'duck pond'.

As far as I'm concerned the leader was/is a Holocaust denier (he says he was but he's come round now) so to scribble NAZI on it is accurate and not a slur.

Actually, do it and maybe they will beep you in support

maristella · 23/04/2010 18:36

just walk past and put a sticker for lib dems (or your preferred alternative) over the bnp.
either way please do something, that poster is an embarassment to your neighbourhood

There was a BNP poster in the bus shelter in our village .

I took it down and ripped it up. DD1 (4) nesrly fell over with shock, saying mummy, you mustn't DO that!

Naturally I explained why.

Do it do it do it!

unfitmother · 23/04/2010 18:39

Do it - please!

BelleDameSansMerci · 23/04/2010 18:40

Oooh, you've inspired me! I'm going to take a black marker pen everywhere I go in the hope of seeing a BNP poster to deface.

Please do it!

choccyp1g · 23/04/2010 18:41

Do it Do it Do it. I would guess people seeing you in cars will be tooting and cheering.

What have they been doing to Labour posters?
It's starting to make Labour supporters look like thugs as the Lib Dems and Conservatives have been targeted.

MumsieNonna · 23/04/2010 19:10

Do it!

Do it!

mountainmonkey · 23/04/2010 19:24

I would!

dawntigga · 23/04/2010 19:28

There's a facebook group dedicated to doing over the Conservative ones - I'd do it if the buggers put one up near me

I went to a BNP stall once for a chat and they had some really good points to make TBH such as stopping the importation of food that our farmers could grow themselves.

I'm going to look them up on line now to find out why they are so hated

I might add that I know nothing of politics; just in case it wasn't obvious!!

Exogenesis · 23/04/2010 19:47

Oh go on.... If i had any here I think i would ( under the cover of darkness with a mask#)

If your worried just stick a post it ( or afew) with the word NAZI on it! Not criminal damage then...

littleducks · 23/04/2010 20:13

Do a sticker pre written at home? would be super quick then and might not be noticed?

antoinettechigur · 23/04/2010 20:28

brightyoungthing

let us save you the time

they are an extreme racist party, crudely rebranded to give a very, very thin veneer of sanity. but look for a moment and you'll see the cracks.

slipperthief · 23/04/2010 20:29

Oh go on - and I'll promise to do the same for any that pop up round here (preferring a hat and funny moustache disguise myself).

GoldenSnitch · 23/04/2010 20:39

Maybe time to ditch the "bright" youngthing

Tell these guys where the poster is. I'm sure someone would go and correct it on your behalf

BelleDameSansMerci · 23/04/2010 20:41

Loving the idea of the pre-prepared stickers...

brightyoungthing - they aren't merely racist thugs who stick shit through the letterboxes of anyone not considered 'British' enough, but also hate women. Their policies include giving husbands the legal right to rape their wives, the automatic right to custody of any children after divorce and many others that would make us look oddly like the Taliban. Who are kind of, you know, foreign. People the BNP hate.

slipperthief · 23/04/2010 20:52

I just think 'twat' would fit quite nicely on that silly misguided fool's forehead.

IveStillGotIt · 23/04/2010 20:52

YABU, in fact, everyone (except brightyoungthing, and anyone else who doesnt post saying 'do it') who has left messages on this thread ABVVVU.
The British National Party are a party who tell it like it is, their not scared to say what other people would only say in private, alot of their ideas are real issues that affect hard working people like myself and neighbourhood.
They ARE NOT racist, they have done some good things for people of other cultures as well. A few years ago, they helped a woman escape an arranged marraige, as the other partys dont want to get involved in cases like this, but of course, this wasnt in the papers, cause the press only like printing rubbish about them.
EVERY party has the right to put posters up, and not have then defaced by immature people who are old enough to know better!
