Edd Stonham has called for the return of stakeboards
We've been quite excited during this campaign about the number of people who've volunteered to help, to put posters in their windows and stakeboards in their gardens. Then last night someone nicked 8 of our stakeboards along Park Lane and Impington Lane in Histon. We understand that the Tories have lost some of theirs as well.
There's a certain honour amongst thieves and that applies to politicians as well. We attack each other in our literature and on the door step but we don't engage in 'dirty tricks'. We don't nick each others posters. So whoever did this is not from one of the major parties, he or she may simply be anti-politics. Who ever it is the action doesn't achieve much.
Edd Stonham, Lib Dem candidate for Histon and Impington in the local election, said: 'this is disappointing. It's not just an affront to the Lib Dems (and the Tories) but it's also a denial of the right of free expression of political opinion to the people who chose to display the posters. I'm more concerned about the latter than the former.'
If anyone knows where the errant stakeboards are perhaps he or she could contact us. info@secambslibdems.org.uk
