Cut the Royals - literally

These disgusting posters have been appearing on bus shelters and payphones across North London. Prince William and Katherine Middleton are depicted beneath a guillotine dripping blood under the the heading "Cut the Royals, Not Public Services". No group has (yet) claimed responsibility, but this anti-Government campaign is not only the most shocking example of 'anti-cuts' activism yet seen in Britain; it must constitute a clear incitment to violence or murder.

Local resident Justin Hinchcliffe, Deputy Chairman of Tottenham Conservatives, said: "I saw these posters as I walked past Seven Sisters tube station today. I just could not believe them at first. I did a double-take, then tried to check who had published them--they look professionally printed. But there was no clue on the posters themselves who had distributed them."

Mr Hinchcliffe added: "This is just sick. Most people round here are looking forward to the Royal Wedding like everyone else. BT and Haringey Council should urgently remove these posters and the Police should track down whoever is responsible. It just proves how the anti-cuts lobby is being infiltrated by dangerous extremists."
