'A mystery poster put up in Carlisle which showed Labour’s business secretary Peter Mandelson being hanged has been branded “offensive and cowardly”.Despicable, tasteless and vile; but enough of Peter Mandelson, what about the poster?
The owner of the 20ft wide hoarding in Warwick Road removed the poster after Labour Party officials complained, pointing out that the advert probably breached election law because it did not say who commissioned it.
The poster bore the simple slogan: “We don’t want a hung parliament.”
Cumbria police have confirmed that they intervened after receiving an official complaint.
The Carlisle businessman who owns the billboard refused to say who asked for the poster to be put up.'

Whilst we are still allowed the remnants of free speech,

I also reserve the right to discuss less controversial matters should I feel the urge.
