Fuck Bush Postcards
Activist Simon Shaw was arrested in Edinburgh on 22nd March for displaying an upside-down US flag emblazoned with the words "Fuck Bush" and a swastika design.

The arresting officers said that Simon's flag was likely to "incite racial hatred" despite the message being aimed at George W. Bush and his administration and not the American people.

Mark Thomas has had copies of the flag produced as postcards and thinks it would be a good idea to send these postcards to the arresting officers (details below). Mark believes it is "just the police trying it on, trying to hassle demonstrators now the bombing has begun. I think its a ridiculous charge and the police should be shown that loads of people agree with that."

Download the postcard design, or get them at one of Mark's gigs, and send them off to:
PC Phillip Gachagan & PC Lawrence Mackintosh,
Lothian & Borders Police Station,
14 St. Leonards Street,
Edinburgh.
EH8 9QW

If you do send a postcard then let us know. We recommend using an envelope so they don't go straight into the bin.
