Absolutely the stupidest salvo in the war on terror to date, Tesco's, Islington, London, UK

couldn't you call this a security arrangement? I'm surprised they didn't put a picture of a slr here...because the police all know terriorsts use slrs when they take pictures of scenic buildings!

Holy crap! There's over a thousand terrorists in Liverpool St. station EVERY SINGLE DAY!!

Yeah, the media and mostly the government.

12-14yr old girls the ones you should be scared of, they txt message like crazy!

This is helpful, now they know we're looking for vans, they're gonna hire small trucks now!!

Caution - beware of everyone you see!!!

eeeek I know so many people who have mobile phones, is it safe

Quick. Change your name. Cut off your hair. Perhaps grow some facial hair. Run away. Move to somewhere like Turkmenistan where noone will ever find you.

The next sign will probably say: "Did you know: You may be a terrorist! If you suspect that you are a terrorist please report your self immediately!" Bigbrother=Bollocks!

Terrorists Like Puppies.

If you know anyone who likes puppies, they could be a terrorist. Do you know anyone who likes puppies and/or has a puppy? Have you seen anyone with large quantities of puppies? Has it made you suspicious? Have you seen anyone taking pictures of puppies? Do you know someone who visits puppy related websites? Has a sale/rental of a puppy made you suspicous?

...the real question is; how does one rent a puppy? (I'm not a terrorist!!! I swear!!!)

Wait just a minute gruntzooki, I think you fit this profile AND you seem to be launching an anti-anti-terrorism campaign by criticizing this fine piece of public service... I don't know about your side of the pond but over here if you criticize the campaign, you MUST be sympathetic to their cause. Anyway, I have to jump in my unmarked cargo van and run up to the airport to pick up a suitcase of stolen pay-as-you-go mobiles. -Cheers

Watch Rudy Guiliani say a noun, a verb, and 9/11 while smiling
at the US Republican National Convention.on Tuesday. Keep in mind that, in 1996,partly in response to the attack on the WTC of 1993,, he located the new NYC Emergency Command Center on the 23rd floor of World Trade Center Building 7, complete with a 6,000 fuel tank.

It's the tyranny of the stupid.

The real terrorists wear expensive suits....sit in government offices....order the carpet bombing of foreign states...rape the oil, minerals, precious stones etc from terrified nations....kill children with plastic bullets and land mines....and pay for these pathetic poster campaigns with taxpayers money.....YOUR MONEY!

THE REAL TERRORISTS ALSO RECEIVE HUGE SPONSORSHIPS AND BACKHAND PAYMENTS FROM TESCO.....

Starting to make sense yet?

I have seen someone walk into a busy grocery store with a point and shoot camera. He filmed all the domehawk cameras in the store, the location of the managers office and the security guard. No one stopped him and they're on red alert now. Maybe they should look out for crappy vans pulling up or people shopping with unecessary luggage with them, or maybe this poster is just stupid.

Hi, I'm an admin for a brand new group called The View from Airstrip One.

We're inspired by movies such as '1984' and 'V for Vendetta' and we're collecting images that chronicle the UK's dystopian present.

Your image exactly captures this mood, and we'd love to have it added to the group! And please consider joining our group - we'd love to have you as a regular contributor!
