A Labour supporting garden centre owner has defended his tongue-in-cheek sign asking for a '10% Tory tax' from anyone who voted Conservative.
Matt Woodruff, who owners Woodruffs Yard in Lewes, East Sussex, placed a blackboard outside his store proposing a 'Tory tax' as 'one of the "tough" decisions I need to make' after the Conservatives gained an overall majority in the general election last week.
His sign asks for any Conservative voters to identify themselves upon entering so he can 'happily apply the 10% Tory tax on your plants'.
Mr Woodruff's sign adds: 'I'm sure, as someone who has opted to support a party of elitists, self-serving types, that you understand that this is one of the many "tough" decisions that I need to make to "balance the books" under your preferred govt. Don't be a shy Tory!'
His sign also has a message for UKIP voters, adding: 'Oh, and UKIP voters, please shop elsewhere.'
