razor blades under fascist stickers - myth or not?

Mentioned in this report of 53 yr old arrested for stickers "directed towards the transgender community" in Newport, South Wales

The public has been advised not to remove posters in Newport after sharp objects had been found behind them.
 
Oh that's interesting ddraig

Freedom just posted something about the alleged stickerer:
 
I agree with the Freedom article, that getting the old bill involved with removing stickers is a terrible idea. I just took down about twenty anti-vaxx / new world order stickers this morning and have taken to carrying various objects with me to help with that. I see it as a civic duty, really, same as when you used to find NF stickers around the place.

Also in over 35 years of removing stickers I've never found any sharp objects underneath them, so the risk seems to be quite low...
 
"spraying stickers" is weird language as well, hard to tell from that whether she had a particularly high-tech stickering mechanism, which I suppose would make sense if you were messing around with glass and pins and stuff, or if Gwent Heddlu just had a weird choice of words there?
 
And yeah, solid, principled stance from Moore there. Reading over the (BBC) article again, I'm now confused as to whether the woman was arrested for sticking up stuff that had sharp objects behind it, or at least matched the description of stuff that did, or whether "The public has been advised not to remove posters in Newport after sharp objects had been found behind them" is to do with unrelated (e.g., antivax?) materials?

probably the headlice of Gwent being the thick cunts they are!

Loads of terfs in the replies deliberately posting the unoffending sticker :facepalm:

Criminal damage and causing offence suggests that they are doing her just for the stickers and not sharp objects. Be interesting to see what she gets charged with, if anything.

That's interesting, Gromit - thanks.

It looks like TfL were reporting on the Cardiff incident that someone posted about upthread. Which is fair enough, but as they say in the report, no razors under posters seem to have been found on the TfL network.

I don't think they were doing sharp objects from my reading, just gwent plod suggesting there may be some so the public shouldn't remove?

It is a bit vague but:

"This public safety message was intended to make the public aware of the dangers of potentially removing a poster, after glass and pins had been stuck behind the posters," said Supt Vicki Townsend.
 
TRAs have been reporting being cut by objects behind feminist stickers and the police are responding to those reports. It'll be bullshit, it always is, first heard these stories in the 70s, they've never had any substance.

A bit like the political leafleting person who "had the ends of their fingers bitten off by a doberman" etc, heard that one a few times.

:D
"someone"..."a few months ago"....

Not with a razor blade under a sticker, that's just horseshit.

And fuck you too, you twerp.
 
Yeah, I always use a paint scraper [the type that holds a craft or box-cutter type blade].

Or a really large black perm marker to obscure text if I don't have time to scrape it off.


I had a field day removing blood-sport supporting ones off the back of road signs, back in the day.

You've been proved wrong, now.
