The British press are very quick to print anti-UKIP stories, so why apart from the Express, have they failed to print this one?

/// It is not at all obvious that this was an anti-UKIP act or just vandalism and generally thuggery. ///

Oh so they just chose this particular person's house, who happened to have a UKIP sign outside, and which they then chose to rip down the sign?

I wonder if they would have also attacked the man and vandalise the sign had it been a Labour one?

[youngmafbog]

Unlikely to have happened. Labour supporters very thin on the ground round there AOG !!

To be honest they were probably just thugs.

[Gromit]

AOG,
This happen just after throwing out time . The Bear Cross is in staggering distance.

Bit of a poncy place these days, was better when it had a public bar with ordinary at 19p a pint and best at 21 p a pint.

Always preferred the Shoulder (or the Osprey - next to my mate) when I lived round there, only problem there is everything is bolted down due to proximity of West Howe estate.

I think that these statements sum up the situation perfectly.

*** But what we had last night was the ugly face of militant left-wing politics. The sort of people who advocate free speech - as long as it's what they want to hear. These people were nothing more that cowardly, intolerant bigots, and the sooner they're brought to justice the better. ***

*** This unacceptable sort of bullying and intimidating behaviour has not just been aimed at UKIP, many Tory and even some moderate Scottish Labour Party campaigners have also been silenced and forced to run for cover. ***

*** What is however virtually undeniable is that all this appalling conduct is exclusively coming from one group of people - the supporters of the more extreme left, I wonder what that tells us? ***

[Gromit]

That is stupid.

1) we do not know wh carried out the attack.

2) we do not know their motive.

UKIP are only competing with the Conservatives in Bournemouth so why would leftwing supporters take down the sign? - it doesn't make sense.

Gromit-Don't you know it's Always lefty tree huggers that are to blame ?

[anotheoldgit]

Yes that is about right brionon, but as always they tend to blame it all on the Right.

Where has it been revealed that this was orchestrated by the Left, rather than drunk blokes after the pubs close down.
