Critical Mass added to counter-terror watch list.

Seems a perfectly normal thing to do...

Cos of the 2005 ride when we were banned from cycling round Parliament Square so we went down and rode round Parliament Square eleventy million times.

Alongside Critical Mass was German football team St Pauli, who currently languish 11th in the Second Bundesliga.

This is what happens when Home Counties idiots are allowed to make the rules. I’m surprised that veganism and not tidying your bedroom aren’t on the list.

I think it's a bit of a stretch to describe the document in question as a counter terror watch list. It's a list of groups that have gathered or protested in the UK in recent years. It includes visiting international football fan supporter groups for example.

I think it's intended to be a guide for officers to help identify who is protesting and how they normally conduct themselves.

Edit: was not for police use, was distributed to teachers to help identify logos and memberships. It's clearly a misguided document but a counter terrorist watch list it is not.

That's what they want you to think maaan

I can see how the 'counter terrorism policing' logo in the corner might confuse things

Aren’t the “counter terrorism policing” a terrorist organisation? Otherwise they wouldn’t have their logo on the watchlist.

That's a very bad advert for socialist graphic designers...

They've got a serious fetish for fisting too.

What's the difference between an anarchist feminist and an anarcho-feminist?

Degree of rhyme?

ACAB is a group and not just an amusing acronym in the Viz Profanisaurus? Who knew.

There was a black cabbie stuck near Whitehall and he demanded of a copper on a bike what it was all about.

"People are allowed to protest sir" said the copper.

I had some leaflets to explain what the CM was about so I went to hand one to the cabbie and he waved me away and refused to look at it.

"Don't worry mate" said the copper to me. "Some people are just tossers".
