According to Adam Bienkov at Tory Troll:

The above poster of Brian Coleman has been banned from all London fire stations after it was deemed “offensive”, “inappropriate” and a safety risk.

The image (click for full size) was torn down from union notice boards across London after a direct order from management.

The story has also been picked up by the Barnet Times:

“OFFENSIVE” cartoon posters critical of London Fire Authority chairman Brian Coleman have been ripped down from fire stations across London.

The poster, devised by London Fire Brigades’ Union (FBU) to encourage members to vote for industrial action, shows the Mayor of Barnet wearing a large gold medallion and dropping money down the drain.

It was banned from all London fire stations last Friday after London Fire Brigade (LFB) managers deemed it to be “offensive”, “inappropriate” and a safety risk.
