totally fake.

this has been circulating for ages and as many observers have pointed out, there is every chance that it is a bit of a joke i.e. either entirely forged, or done unofficially by pissed off tube employees (allegedly the driver of the train the jean charles de menezes ran onto had a gun put to his head too...).
that's not to say we don't live in scary days, but just that it's all the more reason to keep alert to the threat of humour, irony and just keep your bloody wits about you!

wondering

been on holiday?

Pretty obviously not an 'official' notice.
Hope it was done for real and not just in Photoshop.

Not completely unlikely but...

It's not completely unlikely that a cynical tube worker would have written that on one of those dry-wipe notice boards (which is what this is).

However I do know Photoshop when I see it. And I see it.

Not real

I work in for London Transport and I can tell you that if you ever see something like that you can report the responsable to the manager and he/she will be disciplined.

I guess that is the work of someone making fake digital photos wanting to create outrage to serve their dark purposes.

Wrong categories?

I note that this is filed under "anti-racism" and "repression".

Clearly it's either a fake photo, or an ironic joke on the part of Tube staff at the expense of the police.

Perhaps it should have been filed under "sense of humour bypass" instead if you're foolish enough to believe that it was intended to be a racist notice.
