Nottinghamshire shop sign shaming government leaves people smiling and sticking their thumbs up

It might have started as a joke, but a sign sign outside of a Beeston shop which mocks the government has been attracting attention from shoppers and passers-by. A member of staff at the Beeston fragrance shop Refan has shed some light on the message behind the statement posted on the A-board outside their store.

The shop owner said the sign was initially posted last year and came on the back of the 'Party gate' scandal.
