Racist Stickers off our streets

I've got a "fun" new hobby! Step 1) Find a racist sticker. Step 2) Remove it. 
Decentralised sticker production is a mixed blessing. Anyone with a printer and an Internet connection can print off dozens of lo-fi propaganda hits.
Of course, the crappy stickers were of crappy quality.
All the stickers in my community were removed. I reported them to the police, which took the issue seriously but - as they said - they can't exactly dust rain-sodden stickers for finger prints. 
So, next time you see a hateful defacement, report it to your local council on FixMyStreet - and do feel free to remove it. Or, replace it with something more uplifting.

I recently scrapped as much as I could of a very well adhered sticker off a lamppost. Some Nazi bullshit, little blond girl doing the salute. It had some small text on it stating that it was not to be used for fly-posting, presumably an attempt to absolve the organisation whose website URL was on it of responsibility for it being stuck to a lamppost. Never occurred to me to report it but if I see another one I will.

Hi, I found a racist sticker few weeks ago on a lamp post, was a shocking one. Reported to a Councillor who said will remove it and report to police, as it didn't happen yet I'm trying to find a way to do more then "just" scratch it off, you have any advice ..?

Best thing you can do is chat to your councillors and MPs. Explain that you want them to spend time and money tackling this problem.
