What if you put your posters up with those little plastic jobbies
that they use on all the campaign posters?
Do politicians pay for pole space?

Nope, but I did get fined twice for riding free on trams before, and narrowly missed a public litering fine but putting my foot over a cigarette butt (as a cop approached). My mate right beside who had flung his a bit got fined £50. sucker!

I wish there was a fine for spitting. Especially for not looking where your spitting!
The amount of times I have been narrowly missed by
badly aimed mucus gives me shudders to think about. yeeeeucch!

they, of course, have an exemption

they *are* supposed to take them down within a certain period of the end of an election or they can be fined - whether that's ever been put into practice I don't know.

 

[damien]

if it was in the campus then surely that's "private" property and outside the council's jusisdiction...? like when i was in ucd the cops would never come after us for drinking cans, it was the university's own private army... surely you have some case.
i would say deffo do a benefit gig... a "fuck the government" nite, if you will.. heh.

Bob Quinn of the VD's was fined for his posters for the election a while back. He's a berk.

Has any fly-posterer thought of the effects it has on the environment?

They do resort to calling the police occasionally, they did last year, this year the private army just asked that we clean up after ourselves.
