Frankly, I'm quite horrified by the UK Metropolitan Police Anti-Terrorism Campaign.

Good grief :/ You'd think we hadn't lived through 30 years of terrorist threats from the IRA. Have you noticed yet that there are no waste bins in UK train stations?

Pandering to Daily Mail knee-jerk political journalism. :(

I liked the Private Eye front page with Jerry Adams & a speech bubble saying "Do you remember the good old days, when you were afraid of me?"

"This hotline won't be useful for real emergencies because your neighbours will be busy reporting every trivial thing they see now we've scared them shitless."

Coup? What?

Who are the troops in the picture? Is there any explanation that puts the statement in context with the image?

BTW, did you notice the disclaimer at the bottom-right of the image?

If you click through on the first link, you'll see that this is a parody of actual posters that the British police have created. The disclaimer is there because I added it (I created this parody and you're not the first person to get confused by it :)
