Today I became aware that one of my 3meter Senatorial banners has been ripped off barriers at
Green Street Roundabout and stolen.
All that remains are the eyelets and remnants of material.
This
is a deliberate political act; it is not simple vandalism.
This is
unprecedented criminal damage in a recent public election.
To rip down a banner
wired to railings and then take it away is a very conscious act.
I am not entirely
surprised; there is are some very rabid right-wingers who regularly express
themselves with violent language; it is only a small step to physical violence
and criminal damage to property by such types.
The banner cost
£180, so I will have to order another.
I will not be intimidated by such
provocative acts of violence
I have advised the
States of Jersey Police of the theft.
Police will have CCTV to identify who it was - question will they take action?
ReplyDeleteAny CCTV footage of the crime scene?
