razor blades under fascist stickers - myth or not?

[fishfinger]

OTOH, the egg sarnies are often really bad at these events...

I thought that was direct action against the stench of the tories.

Well if you're trying to remove them, seems you've already chosen your side, eh?

Good point. These have been appearing on the tube as mentioned upthread. Tube workers assigned to such tasks have specialist gloves (as with needles under seats etc). More problematic for those performing it as a civic duty.

After the first few Yale-shaped stab marks and in-country immolations most should have given up attempting to sticker their shit

 

[Badgers]

Or wait to you seem someone about to stick them up and stab the key in their eye?

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

Newport: Woman, 53, arrested over 'abusive' stickers

Stickers "directed towards the transgender community" found on lampposts in city, prompting arrest.

www.bbc.co.uk

The public has been advised not to remove posters in Newport after sharp objects had been found behind them.

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Oh that's interesting ddraig

Freedom just posted something about the alleged stickerer:

Extending solidarity to people who hate us - Freedom News

A transphobe in Newport got arrested recently for posting hate materials. She says that these were just feminist and “did not mention [trans people] even once”. The stickers and posters she placed on street furniture and in public places included numerous instances of things that were clearly...

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...

 

[hitmouse]

"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?

 

[hitmouse]

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

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.

Someone in Cardiff did get their hand cut removing stickers a few months ago

"someone"..."a few months ago"....

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

And fuck you too, you twerp.

You're a blatant transphobic cunt co-op, fuck off.

I once found a fash sticker in Whitechapel with a razor blade under it. So I can categorically state it's not horseshit.

 

[Magnus McGinty]

Folk shouldn't be removing stickers with fingers anyway given there's tools that do it better and more safely.

 

[StoneRoad]

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.

 

[Magnus McGinty]

Good enough for the task. And wear some decent gloves. Job done.

You've been proved wrong, now.
