The owner of a small garden centre in East Sussex whose anti-Tory blackboard went viral on social media says he has no regrets, despite admitting it could put him out of business.
Matt Woodruff, the owner of Woodruffs Yard in Lewes, said he was moved to vent his political views on his shop’s blackboard after the Conservatives took the local seat that had been occupied by the Lib Dem former Home Office minister Norman Baker.
The sign proposes a “Tory tax” of 10% on any customer who voted Conservative as one of the “‘tough’ decisions I need to make to ‘balance the books’ under your preferred government”.
The sign also says Ukip voters should “shop elsewhere”.
Pictures of the sign have been retweeted hundreds of times and posted from a number of different accounts on Twitter.

did he offer a 10% discount to lib dem voters?
Matt was one of my lectures at hadlow college. A good guy and a good teacher I hope it doesn't put him out of business. No such thing as bad publicity right?
