Pensioner's red, white, and blue election protest poster is branded 'racist' by police | Mail Online

A pensioner who put up a red, white and blue election poster telling voters to kick out MPs was accused of racism by police.

After being inundated by canvassing politcians, Roy Newman, 74, decided to tell other voters: ‘GET THE LOT OUT.’

But 90 minutes after he put up the homemade sign up in an upstairs room at his house, two police officers arrived and threatened with arrest.

They said the Union Jack-coloured lettering on a white background could be considered 'racist'.

He was told there had been a single complaint and he was ordered to remove it or change it otherwise he would end up in court .

But the former Tory councillor, from North Anston, near Rotherham, South Yorkshire, said police had misunderstood his message.

He said : ‘My sign is up there because the MPs and council leadership we have in place at the moment are a load of rubbish and I want them out, nothing more.

‘The police told me that due to the fact that the words were written in red and blue and the background was white, my sign had racist connotations.

I predict that the British National Party (BNP) will do very well in the UK Elections in May. The BNP are a racist organization but this sort of unfair treatment of British people will drive people to vote for the BNP. Britain is a disgrace.

I need to see pics of you in the bikini before I can determine if it is racist.

I'm the nanny states new bikini inspector. I'm doing it for the children.

Sorry, it's too late. I tossed it in the barbeque and lit it up. I didn't want to offend anyone.

It's hard to believe this was once the most powerful nation on the planet.

 

[Xenophon]

The EU poltically correct culture at work.

The message is what was thought 'racist' I bet, the police just couldn't say that so came up with the colors which is ludicrous.

And I'll bet the 'complaint' came from someone who follows the religion of peace.
