Unpatriotic Games

Suggesting that you do not want England (not even the United Kingdom...) to win the football World Cup is likely to get you a jackbooted call from the po po. The 'visit' was said not to be "in response to any public complaint about the shirt slogan [but rather] by an officer acting on his own initiative." Going and telling the shop owner that a complaint had been made would be one thing, for an officer to spot the shirt (what was he doing looking closely enough in a shop window to read the tiny writing on this one??) in a window and take it upon himself to try and intimidate a local businessman into censoring himself is another.

They call it an "advisory visit". Perhaps Grampian Police could use an "advisory visit" vis a vis staying the hell out of other people's business.
