Two nights before polling stations opened on June 4th, activists added some artistic touches to three UKIP billboards in High Brooms, on the outskirts of Tunbridge Wells.

UKIP stood in the county council elections in Tunbridge Wells and paid for several billboards sporting the phrase ''No to endless immigration'' in an attempt to secure a seat.

Three of these were defaced by spray paint-wielding activists on the night of June 2nd. Swastikas were sprayed over the UKIP logo and the tag line was made to read ''don't vote racist UKIP''.

On the third billboard Winston Churchill was endowed with a speech bubble which encircled the word UKIP and a less offensive four letter word before it.

Finally activists found a blank billboard further down the road and wrote ''Keep UKIP out of High Brooms'' on it.

UKIP didn't win any Council seats in Tunbridge Wells but the results of the European elections remain to be seen at the time of writing.
