Well done. Great action.

maybe this'll take off enough to get into media and produce response from brit legion on back of the story bout griffin wearing a poppy despite the british legion asking (telling?) him not too...

have you press released british legion. maybe worth doing once they can't recall the posters, and plenty have been done...

for their sake prosecute blair?

You will need:

Six sheets of red A4 paper (try Aldi for cheap colour paper)
Five sheets of white A4 (recycled obvisously, think of the planet)
A printer (inkjet or laser)
A craft knife
A cutting board
PVA glue (water it down 1:1) or wallpaper paste

Now create a landscape word document with the letters BR'INGEMHOME (no spaces) using Arial or Helvetica at about 535 point. You'll need to set your margins to a minimum to get two letters to a page. Note you'll need to put the apostrophe with the 'I' when you print in order to fit it all on five rather than six sheets. Before you print, set the font format to outline as this will save loads of ink.

While it is printing, get your six sheets of red paper and glue them together in landscape with about 1cm overlap. Your letter should now be printed so carefully cut out the letters. If you used Arial, cut the central horizontal of your two E's a little shorter byt about 4cm to make them more like the original.

Arrange the letters on the red paper in the correct order. Obvisouly you move the apostrophe back to it's correct position now so it reads BRING 'EM HOME. Pay attention to the spacing. Each letter should be about 2cm from the other and between words the spacing is a little less than the width of a letter. When you have it correct and nicely aligned on the paper, glue the letters down.

Let it dry and now roll the whole thing on so the letter side is inside the roll. Remember which end will come out first when unrolled and which way up it needs to be held.

Now get a few mates together. You'll want two or three people at the billboard - one to unroll, one to paste and one to hold shit for the others or help stabalise whatever you bring to stand on if required). You'll probably also want a couple more people 100 yards up and down the road to act as look outs. Come up with an approbriate way for your lookouts to communicate with you, perhaps whistles or walkie-talkies or perhaps even just a yell.

When pasting, it is good to glue both under the roll and over the top to help water proof your work.

That's it. Please also take a photo and upload it.

Could also add the number of UK troops killed in afghanistan during this conflict which currently stands at 221. The little figure in the lower left could be given a speech bubble.

that looks really pro, nice work, might have a go myself

Excellent and timely piece of subvertising. I wish we saw lots more of this happening. As for the poppy appeal ads, there are other designs in the set on and the BRING EM HOME subvert might not work so well with the imagery (dead or wounded solders) so I think the PROSECUTE BLAIR suggestion made above would be brilliant for those.

One thing I'd add that can sometimes make the job a bit easier is most printers can print out bigger, or rather longer, than A4 (or A3 if it's an A3 printer) if you adjust the custom settings in page set-up or tweak the firmware. You then have to cut the paper to fit off course.
An irrelevant tip too - most printers can also print out on a surprising range of materials, including canvas, if you adjust the paper height guide - although make sure the canavs is prestretched and washed or you can ruin the printer. I'd rather not say what this is useful for, I'm sure someone will come up with their own uses.

222 british soldiers dead. another today.

pointless criminal resource war.

bring them home!

I had a go myself using the instructions above. i couldn't get two 535 point arial characters to a page, 520 was the biggest I could manage when I selected outline but the size difference was not noticeable. However, sticking to 535 with one character per page I printed the first 6 pages then turned them round and put them back in the printer upside down before printing the next six pages. That way I got the size required and kept to six sheets of paper.

Just seen one of these in basingstoke but didnt have a camera with me. wasnt done as well as was just white paper with black text but still good to see. will try to get photo later.

Whilst one hates to shatter any illusions out there, but I think that you will find that it is the Head of State, Queen Elizabeth II who may be considered the war criminal. Yes, bizarre and almost surreal, the prospect of Her Majesty in the dock at The Hague (and clearly, it ain't gonna happen) but HM is the Head of the Armed Forces, not Blair. He is her Prime Minister but he is not, repeat not, the Head of State. The actions of Blair, de facto, acting as Head of State has had the effect of putting HM in jeapordy by waging a war on Iraq that is, at best, in terms of international law, questionable, if not, outright illegal. I ask myself, what HM's own advisors were doing whilst Blair was off on his crusade.
