This is a true story.

My father was in the Navy during the Korean war and switched to the Air Force after Korea and went on to serve until the late Seventies. We transferred every two or three years. Like all military families, we gradually collected here and there a few artifacts thrown away by the government down through the years. One of these artifacts was a barrel for transporting rocket motors used to propel jet airplanes faster down the runway for quicker take offs. The barrel was made of a sturdy fiber and it had a metal lid. We had used the barrel to store winter clothes for several decades and it usually had some kind of "throw" or blanket over the top of it. So we decide to put the barrel to the curb because we live in Arizona and do not own winter clothes that need to be stored. I put the barrel to the curb after removing the blanket off of it and put a big "FREE" sign on it hoping that somebody else would be able to use it.

A little while later, I heard helicopters flying around the neighborhood and there was the sound of police sirens. I went outside to see what was going on and discovered that several police were investigating the barrel and had discovered the "EXPLOSIVES" tag on the barrel. (oooooops) I really did not want to remover it because it added to the authenticity of the rocket motor barrel. I explained what it was and they went away and somebody came along and took the barrel home.

The last thing we need is "TRASH POLICE".

I think nottingham City council where trialing microchips in the bins that would weigh them , if overloaded a fine will be on your doorstep .

however i am more interested in the Fear this poster generates rather than the contents of someones Wheelie bin ( trash can).

unless of course that bin is crammed full of chemical's then i am supposed to ring MI5 or summin :p

My point was the majority of these chemicals are readily available anyway.. i can see no point in this poster , other than fearmongering

I agree, like you say fertilizer can be found at garden centres, peroxide at salon wholesalers.... If the bin men saw the bin in the poster - they'd leave it with a message saying to full to empty

I also found these links on the posters:

alternativeentertainment.wordpress.com...

get this one


The campaign calls on London's 8 million residents to pay particular attention to anyone suspicious who is buying chemicals, logging on to militant websites or carrying out surveillance of prominent buildings.


www.straitstimes.com...

whats a militant web site? How can you tell a suspicious person from a non-suspicious person buying chemicals.......or have we got to figure that bit out?

after another google search - militant:
en.wikipedia.org... again - what is classed as a militant website??????????

more details found here

www.northumbria.police.uk...

I found these by typing the slogan into google....there was more.

Excellent thread! Star and flag!

There are variations on this same kind of poster throughout the UK. I don't know if you've seen the other ones. The first time i saw one, i was walking down the street and it was the CCTV cameras one.

Here is a link to the other posters.

Counter Terrorism Posters

It is utterly ridiculous. It reeks of Nazi Germany to me! Neighbours snooping on each other and telling tales to the Gestapo. For example people would fall out with their neighbour and make up some incriminating story about them and tell the Gestapo, resulting in their neighbour being arrested. It is really crazy and scary, that they have such posters. All they are doing is fostering suspicion and paranoia.
