The signs designed by Batley and Spen parliamentary candidate Aleks Lukic were taken from Oxford Road at Gomersal Hill Top and near St Peter’s Church, Hartshead.

Mr Lukic said: “Perhaps some just can’t contain their excitement for supporting UKIP and want to display my signs over the mantelpiece! Though I must say that leaving the cable ties on the poles is just plain bad manners.”

UKIP’s Liversedge and Gomersal candidate for Kirklees Council, Simon Holbrook, said: “Fortunately we still have plenty of time to replace the signs over the next few weeks.

“We might consider submitting a Guinness World Record entry for the speedy removals!”
