One local in Beaconsfield has thought of a novel way to get back at his prospective MP, Dominic Grieve, who is standing as an independent this election. Ian Caldwell, who runs Timberstore in the area, has decided to launch a giant blimp which now hovers over Grieve’s constituency, calling for the pro-Remain candidate to be ditched in the election.
One side of the blimp says ‘Out with Grieve’, while the other reads ‘Brexit’, reports the Bucks Free Press.
‘Out with Grieve’
Caldwell came up with the idea after his signs in support of Brexit were damaged during the referendum campaign in 2016. He said that vandals scrawled swastikas on his signs and even took down the scaffolding which supported then. By comparison, a blimp would be trickier to sabotage.
He told Mr S that the blimp is 20ft long, 8ft high, and is floating around 180ft off the ground – high enough to be seen from the motorway.
