Paul Jones Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 I thought this was hilarious, UKIP candidate Nigel Ely given a parking ticket whilst canvassing in Hereford, this was yesterday apparently. Strangley the vehicle he uses for his campaign is a US military truck? photos from Your Herefordshire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenknight Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Sadly Paul he hasn't thought this through. Thirty years ago a certain ex regiment lad called Mr Wiseman offered stimulating conversation and participation down in there woods for corporate types who want to be splattered with paint! Even those vehicles were American. I have a great picture of it parked up outside the Green Dragon hotel..not far from where these shots were taken.

Roger Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 I thought this was hilarious, UKIP candidate Nigel Ely given a parking ticket whilst canvassing in Hereford, this was yesterday apparently. photos from Your Herefordshire I spoke to the person who took the photos on Twitter. Apparently the truck was there all day. Looks bad on the surface at it's a 'Loading Only' bay but it's redundant between 10.30 -16.30 as nothing can park there. I can't see anyone having been inconvenienced by it in that 6 hour period. To book a static spot in High Town would be more expensive than the parking ticket I would guess. So some cheap publicity I suppose. Probably outweighs the negative publicity he may get for flouting the parking regulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
