Is it illegal to tear down posters

Mrhuth · 19-04-2018 08:32AM #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.

Should be illegal to put them up

Samuel T. Cogley · 19-04-2018 08:34AM

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.

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.

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 08:40AM

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

Good, I'll be taking them all down in my street.

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.

Well they have to spend that "donated" American evangelical money somehow

Franz Von Peppercorn · 19-04-2018 08:43AM

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 08:46AM

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 08:47AM

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 08:48AM

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 08:49AM

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 08:49AM

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.
