Tories Beware!

Having come to his campaign headquarters to find, what have been described by an hysterical media as "death threats" scrawled on the walls Tory arse Anthony Little was understandably perturbed. The source of his distress was a spray paint manifesto consisting of two tongue in cheek pieces of graffiti which read "see ya soon x x" and "I want more Tory funerals". The former a friendly jibe about extra parliamentary pressure the Tories may encounter if elected, the late a reference to Ian Bone's anarcho-singalong classic 'Tory Funerals'.
Between themselves the police, local press and the Tories have managed to fall victim to the kind of extreme paranoia characteristic of mass hysteria and moral panic and convinced each other of a serious threat to Little who was "shocked" but remains resilient in his campaigning.
We can only wonder how terrified the poor little politicians must have been when only days after removing the offending slogans they were replaced with a fresh batch. The new installment of anti-establishment literature read "Eton Mess" and "Toffs, Tossers".
The adress for the article is detailed below, and at this point I'd like to make an honorable mention of Martin Wallis of Shipdham who having read the article simply commented "wimp". You sir are a friend of hours and Norwich Classwar doth our collective caps.

It is quite another to oppose the right of people who have such politics to organize themselevs into a political party and to campaign for what they want.
Be clear which message you inted to convey.
Be clear because if you think of this as "war" and deny to your political enemies the right to organize for what THEY think are correct politics you are going to make others of us approximately on the same side as you doubt your commitment to democracy when dealing with whatever (smaller) differences there may be between us.
So whether an over reaction or not depends on exactly what slogans used. If those were against policies/initiatives proposed by the Torries, all well and good and was an over reaction. But if against the Torries directly, then no, I wouldn't call it an over reaction. Down with the fascists of the left as well as the fascists of the right.

I believe given that the act of governing encroaches on my personal freedoms then any attempt to organise to do so is a decleration of war o0n myself and all other sentient beings.

Best to just ignore them though, they'll get bored soon enough. (when we all stop responding to them).
