Lib Dem MP frustrated after signs destroyed in Oxfordshire

Charlie Maynard, who represents Witney, took to the social media site Facebook this afternoon (Saturday, May 2) to bemoan the Lib Dem signs being taken down.

In the video clip, the Lib Dem politician informs his followers that the boards are being taken down in West Oxfordshire’s Ducklington.

Mr Maynard reminds the viewers that doing this is illegal and implores the perpetrators to cease doing so.

“So, this is all that’s left of a Lib Dem board that was in this hedge on the track going out of Ducklington towards Cogges.

“Whoever it is taking them down, please can you stop doing that. It’s really rubbish in terms of democracy, and it is also illegal.

“So let’s have an election which is reasonable and plays it straight.”

In the accompanying caption, Mr Maynard added: “Signs allow people to show their support for parties and candidates.

“They are part of our democratic system through which we choose who represents us.

“Please don’t destroy our signs, or anyone else’s, and doing so is also illegal.”

One commenter responded: “That’s absolutely awful, Charlie.

“Drop off two to us, and we’ll put them up on Windrush Place.”
