FabSwingers.com forum: Reasonable froce and dealing with canvassers

By (user no longer on site) OP

So with the election announced, all the local politicos will be crawling out from under their rocks to darken my doorstep with their drivel.

What could be considered reasonable force to get rid of them? The Mrs says a Lucille style baseball bat is probably over the top.

Any suggestions?

Tell them that you're a cannibal, and you find that the meat of the members of whatever particular party it is to taste the most juicy and tender.

I always tell them I plan to vote for them, no matter what party turns up at my door, saves me having to listen to their spiel.

Big sign on your gate

"All implied rights of access removed expt. Royal mail or emergency services"

Basically tells most the moment they step foot on your premisis they are trespassing which means you can physically remove them immediately should you wish

I won't be answering the door, they will soon move.

The last time I answered the door to one I couldn't concentrate on what he was saying as I was watching the bug walk around in his big thick beard, yuk.

I'm usually cleaning my guns at home so may or may not answer the door with bits of one in my hands. I'm also currently excavating the garden for conservatory footings...

You might shoot your load prematurely.

You might penetrate one.

Would it be a political shooting?

May I suggest you are perhaps going about this the wrong way...

Invite them in and make a brew, sit down and then talk / argue endlessly for ages, keeping them there, each time they try to make an excuse to leave begin another subject... after an hour or three they'll get the message and I get you never see them again.

Ah the words reasonable force.

What you consider reasonable may not be reasonable to others.

As long as it is justifiable, appropriate, reasonable and proportionate. Basically just be able to justify your actions and you'll be fine!

A BNP canvasser knocked on my door. I told him my boyfriend is black and he apologised and walked away.

I point out they're not exempt from the "no cold caller" rules of the area we live in and that if I see them knock on another door I shall be contacting the police.

I ask them if they are LGBT friendly and if they say yes and are dressed nicely then they may get invited if for some further research ... obviously I am seriously interested in their politics of course

Same as TV license people tell them they are welcome to come in as long as they respect your religious beliefs.

As a born again swinger this means everyone in the house must be naked.....usual terms of etiquette apply.... no means no etc

Our older dog when I hiss 'guard' proper kicks off which starts the younger one..

The look on their faces as I have the door ajar saying it's ok they're just being territorial usually works with the God bothere r's ..

I have lived in my flat for the last 12yrs and have not had any political party knock on my door.It is staunch Labour around here.I have a security door and they have to use the intercom I never answer it because I can see them standing at the door.You know who they are because a politician sticks out a mile in their looks,Suit tie and usually 2 or 3 of them together.
