Police in Blackpool tell a man to take down his “offensive” Christmas lights

Poke Staff. Updated December 22nd, 2016

A really rather incredible video of the moment police turn up to a man’s house and tell him to take down his Christmas lights, which are offending his neighbours. The best part is the debate about if he’s made a fairy light cock and balls – or as he says, a mushroom. (NSFW: strong language and the discussion of bells and ends)
