Is it illegal to tear down posters

Mrhuth · 19-04-2018 7:32am #1

Like you see some bs advertising like 20 signs of brainwashed VOTE NO everywhere. Are they authorised to be put up and can I tear them down for spreading fake information? There is one thing I cannot handle and that is propaganda.

Big Nasty · 19-04-2018 7:34am

Should be illegal to put them up

Samuel T. Cogley · 19-04-2018 7:34am

Don't be littering!

I love the way the YES camp view themselves as liberal and yet want to behave like fascists.

Hilarious considering the NO campaign are the ones trying to force their views on everyone else, think you need to go and read the definition of fascism again

Is fasism something to do with FAS?

Don't litter the streets with useless sings. Who's paying for that? The ratio of yes to no vote signs is like 20 to 1. I've actually only seen vote yes sign once but vote no is on every street and there is one on every lamp post just so it doesn't get missed. You don't get to brainwash people.

Greybottle · 19-04-2018 7:38am

Yes it is illegal to tear them down. They are somebody else's property and those who put them up have permission from the council to do so.

Who is forcing their views??? Who the **** puts up these signs and forces their views on others?

I’ll be voting YES or not voting and I agree.

I think you're vastly overestimating the power of glossy cardboard.

gandalf · 19-04-2018 7:39am

Yep it's illegal. However if the posters have been put up on ESB poles then they have to be removed by the ESB. If you see that then give the ESB a call I believe they have removed loads already. If any are obstructing traffic lights or signs then they need to be dealt with, I'd assume that's the local council. Really these days posters should just be banned, they are an eyesore and cause unnecessary litter especially cable ties left on street lamp poles.

As long as there are not damaged, and returned to the owners I can't see any issue...The one which states 1 in 5 babies are aborted in UK is clickbait misleading...They are foetus /embryo...Not a baby

Mrhuth · 19-04-2018 7:40am

I'll cut them all down at night. Can't take this bs. **** off.

Couldn't agree more, really not an idea of these times, much like the opinions expressed on them (the no posters that is)

Everybody is trying to force their views on everybody else. You need to look at the definition of democracy.

Franz Von Peppercorn · 19-04-2018 7:43am

For me I’m going to either vote YES or not vote. The YES campaign is convincing me to not vote.

It depends on the height from the ground. If they are liable to cause an obstruction or injury it's acceptable to tear them down.

You do not take this constitutional referendum seriously if you allow yourself and whether you vote to be influenced by outside parties. Inform yourself with the facts and let the loud ones caw as they like.

Really if you are serious about the issue in hand the way either campaign is conducted should not have any bearing on how you vote unless you are very fickle. There are elements in both campaigns that I find distasteful but it won't diminish my wish to vote for what I believe is right.

Mrhuth · 19-04-2018 7:46am

I'll post up a photograph of how many of them are in my street. I didn't count but it's at least 20 and they are on every lamp post. Who the hell is funding them? Why is it on issues like that, that they have unlimited funding. And then they go calling pro abortion activists nazis. What the ****? How many vote yes posters do you see compared to vote no? Same with gay marriage yeah because gay marriage affects your pathetic life so ****ing much that you have to prevent other people getting married. I am furious for not taking down the anti gay marriage posters. I won't make the same mistake again.

You should use your own critical thinking and come up with your own analysis and conclusion on the topic, rather than relying on either campaign for which way to vote. All the information is online, never understand people not voting because they don't like the way campaigns are run.

Beechwoodspark · 19-04-2018 7:47am

I was going to vote yes but after seeing and hearing some of their more extreme supporters I want nothing to do with them.

19-04-2018 7:48am

People already have their minds made up on this issue, posters are not going to change that.

Can’t blame the Russians this time.

I’m glad there’s some understanding that the US does interfere in democracies.

Roadtoad · 19-04-2018 7:49am

Its illegal, don't do it by day or by night.

You must allow others express their opinions, other societies have been pulled apart by not recognising this.

Discodog · 19-04-2018 7:49am

I suspect that you couldn't be prosecuted if you took them down but returned them to the organisation. We desperately need the referendum commission to regulate the lies - it's worse than Brexit.

No you weren't, you were gonna vote no and just you are just bs now. You're just trying to guilt trip others in doing the same. I know that tactic.

I have made my decision. The constitution shouldn’t be a place for abortion bans. Also I am pro abortions until a limit.

However that doesn’t mean I’m voting.

I wouldn't mind that much if they weren't lying. Who do I return them to? Who is paying for these posters?

Never said they didn't, just Russia is more of an issue for Europe ATM. But hey that's for another thread. I wouldn't let the extremists of either side of this referendum put you off voting for what you believe is right. For me those types make me more determined to vote. Remember there are a lot of empty vessels on both sides making a living out of pushing their agendas.

Not Necessarily, many posters (in General) fail to comply with the law

At 12 weeks they are more than a foetus and still allowed to be aborted. I seen a video of an abortion of a 12 week old in secondary school. It was quite disturbing.

I was going to vote yes.

Saw the carry on of the yes supporters.

Want nothing to do with them.

I may vote no or I may not vote at all.

Clear?

Of course I accuse you because you are a wimp and don't care about the issue at hand. You care about the campaign and not about the issue.

Drumpot · 19-04-2018 7:57am

Why are posters allowed for any vote in this day and age? Every person knows either how to read or use some sort of medium (Tv, online etc).

To force their views on everyone else.

AndyBoBandy · 19-04-2018 7:58am

I just can't wait for the whole thing to be over, as they then have 7 days to remove all their posters, or they can incur fines!!

My Opinion: All signs, both referendum & election, should be made illegal. If you need to see some politicians face 300 times on the lamp posts in your area to be convinced to vote for him/her, perhaps you shouldn't use your vote at all, but rather go to the sea side for some fish n chips instead.

or better still, start a really cool thread in AH, one where everyone just gets along, the get along gang!!

Ok at this stage stop engaging with me I’ve reported your posts.

Just to repeat. You know nothing about me yet you accuse me of this that and the other. Get it into your head. I was going to vote yes then saw the carry on of the yes supporters and want nothing to do with them.

Actually your attitude is enforcing my decision to not vote yes.

Wow man, I would love to put some posters outside your house about gay babies being aborted and sit back and watch you turn into the incredible hulk going on a rampage.
