1/ So despite the check-in staff at MCR airport being very entertained by the #BollockstoBrexit stickers on my passport, my case got pulled out at security and I was ordered to remove them because they are "offensive"🤔 (Personally I think #Brexitbis more offensive than bollocks)
2/ I objected pointing out that "bollocks" had been determined not to be offensive in a court of law. The member of staff didn't believe, so I told her to look up the Sex Pistols album "never mind the Bollocks". She told me she "wasn't a sex pistols fan"🙄 completely irrelevant.
3/ I told her there was no legal requirement to remove the stickers and she was impeding on my freedom of speech. She threatened to call airport police to deal with the situation & accused me of wasting security staff time. I told her she was the one making unnecessary demands.
4/ Not wanting to miss my flight to Dublin, I gave up the argument and covered up the #bollockstobrexit stickers with my #VoteLeaveBroketheLaw stickers. Really not happy that she wasted my time, precious stickers and impeded my freedom to express my political views.
5/ however this experience does prove the power of the #bollockstobrexit brand. Iconic of the Remain campaign. This controversial message will have a huge media impact when we roll out the #BOLLOCKSTOBREXITBUS please support if you haven't already 👇 crowdfunder.co.uk/bollocks-to-br…
6/ CC'ing Charlie Mullins OBE @PimlicoPlumbers for his opinion on my treatment by MCR airport security? 🤔
