You need police permission to speak LOLCAT in a designated area!

Tim Ireland | 14.02.2008 11:41 | SOCPA | London

I submitted a number of applications under SOCPA to carry a placard or wear a t-shirt reading 'I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER?', 'I MADE YOU A COOKIE... BUT I EATED IT' etc. and the police decided that, yes, police permission was required.

The police have, in their wisdom, decided that police permission is required before displaying *any* of the following messages within a designated area:

- I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER?

- I MADE YOU A COOKIE... BUT I EATED IT

- FLOOR IS LAVA... SO I'S CLIMBIN UR FURNITUR

- A DREEM... I HAS ONE

- IM IN UR BEACHES... FIGHTN UR NAZIS

- KTHNXBYE!

No, I am not kidding.

...are you inviting them to make a repressive law even more so by extending it to t-shirts, when it didn't do so before?

It would apply to those slogans when they turned up, finding out without getting arrested seems like a good idea to me. Stop time wasting, get emancipating!

Stand outside parliament wearing a t-shirt bearing a slogan like "Stop the War" and you'll see how much it applies to t-shirts.


"Last week at the Mark Wallinger exhibition, a young woman told me that she had stood outside Downing Street wearing a T-shirt saying, "Rogue state Britain". The policeman on duty told her, "You can't wear that here, it is a demonstration". She replied, "I am advertising an art show at the Tate". He said, "Oh, that's fine then"."
