..speechless.. That's beyond belief :-(
if you look at the second picture, you'll see the wording has actually almost disappeared before the horses arrived. 'dum' is almost invisible in front of their front hooves.
The longer angle creates that perception I think, although it could have worn away as well.
The first picture looks like it has been photoshopped to make the message stand out better. I bet that, not that the police were wasting their time removing the message, will be what gets reported.
It is not for the police to involve themselves in political comment.
The message was put there by people expressing a perfectly valid political view. They were not in any way violent, or obstructing anyone else. There is no reason why their message should be removed before the tide does it naturally.
It's just that these people had the misfortune to be saying something that Brown didn't like, so of course it must be removed.
So much for freedom of speech.
It certainly doesn't look good.
presumably this was done under anti-terrorist laws
There are more photos at The Guardian. The slogan appears to have been created with a brush, so I do not think it has been photochopped (sic) in Dizz's first picture.
