I observed many posters locally and throughout neighbouring counties with probably a preponderance for leave campaign. I put a poster in my front garden for Remain a couple of weeks ago. It only lasted a week and was removed by someone who presumably disagreed.

Can we condemn this type of undemocratic intolerant behaviour by some insecure action to suppress alternative suggestions? I am unaware of any other such incidences.
