Razor blades and stickers again

I sincerely hope this is a hoax
I'd put money on it.

Yes yambabe, excellent point. How on earth would peeling off a sticker giver a paper cut as per that photo?? I just can't visualise it.

heresy You're not though didn't mean it like that

I'm confused.

Why on earth would you try and peel a sticker off anywhere with your fingers? As anyone who has DC who have stuck them to walls, doors, windows and furniture instead of the books they are meant to go in (yes I'm looking at YOU DS, even 25 years later!) knows, you lift a corner with a nail and if it comes up you tug down (or up, depending on corner) and away. If the corner doesn't lift you try another corner.

Assuming any blade used would have to be a) small and b) away from the sticker edges to remain hidden it seems very unlikely to be able to injure someone before they could see (and therefore avoid) it.

I sincerely hope this is a hoax and nobody has been hurt (can't see Erin's photo, I'm blocked) but if not - what sort of sicko does something like this? There's something rather unfemale about the whole idea isn't there?

If this were true they would be posting pictures everywhere of the razor blades they'd found. This is 100% fake.

Toe
(facepalm) Sorry, slow typer/reader.

But even if any razor blades were to be found behind stickers ( ) surely the fact that they’re in public women’s toilets that could be accessed by anyone and tampered by anyone means nothing to link the original person who put the sticker up in the first place.

They were both me, heresy

But good work on the twitter timeline of the person who posted about this. Strange indeed.

My last post was a reply to Toe - apologies for cross post.

Yes - where are the threads about that. I didn't come across any when assembling the FAQs. Funny enough, haven't even seen any posters here clamouring for that knowledge, either.
All I seem to get is delicious recipe suggestions. For actual food. Not violence.

Anyone who puts razor blades behind stickers to hurt the public deserves to be prosecuted.

Absolutely.

And it's all so made up.

I will apologise if the BTP find a GC feminist has put razor blades behind stickers at Manchester Oxford St station, and the police report it.

So, we were all in hate school for 'how to build inter-continental radicalisation portals/wormholes' and facilitate morphic resonance but missed the Organisation 101 classes? Figures.

We all seemed to miss several classes

-Punching people who disagree with us
-Wearing all black, masking up, and hanging around outside courtrooms with dogs.
-Wearing black, masking up, blocking women entry to public venues
-Calling women cunts on social media and Bristol stairwells

Just amateurs really, eh?

Okay.... Quick question, playing devils advocate, and just speculating.
How long does it take to try to peel down an offensive sticker, get cut, have to deal with the clean up, presumably alert station staff, probably take pictures of the terrible evidence, etc?
Would you tweet something that sounds lighthearted in the middle of it?
Because checking the timeline, there appears to be a tweet where Erin seems to be fine/joking and then 5 minutes later tweets the first razor blade allegation. We then view the first photo about 6 hours or so after the event, of a left hand that thankfully appears okay.
I also note that Erin is an "anarchist" in their Twitter bio.
I don't want to minimize anything or say nothing went down.
Maybe everything happened very quickly/Erin is skilled at multitasking so decided to engage with Twitter during this terrible event but not post photos?
But this 5 minute gap between two very tonally different tweets... I find it interesting.
In any case, I hope the police investigate and get to the bottom of it. I am glad that photo does not appear to show grave injury.

Yeah. Sorry about that Kittens - I hear the vote was close though?

Still a bit annoyed that my suggestion of having ninjas hide behind the sinks in the toilets was rejected by the committee.

It's health and safety gone mad.

cross continental spontaneous rad fem razor stickage. It must be like the time fire was discovered practically simultaneously in Europe and Asia

Now I am imagining scenes like this:

BettyDuMonde be careful!

I’ve gotta head that way tomorrow. Will pop by and ask the staff if anything untoward has happened.

Some particularly skilled GC deep cover agents have concealed a large catapult behind each sticker.

Thanks NameChange and HerFemaleness. wow cross continental spontaneous rad fem razor stickage. It must be like the time fire was discovered practically simultaneously in Europe and Asia. Or the way certain species evolve in exactly the same ways despite living on different land masses. Spooky.

404 OK - they replied to a the tweet (hence why I missed it - I'm not avidly clicking on all the batshit links you keep posting). And if i understand twitter correctly, it was B list at capital that tagged the police (so in essence made the report) not Erin the broccoli girl. or our other alleged victim (who it turns out is in North Carolina?).

It's not exactly the same as ringing them up and filing a report, is it?

'CCTV will be checked' - does not mean 'we have cctv footage'. It means - the train station will have cctv (of the concourse and platforms) and maybe someone will pretend to watch it. And there was no mention of the all important 'and stuff.'

Manchester police get tagged in a tweet. Manchester police tweet out short statement saying 'we'll look into it.'
I really wouldn't read that much into that. But Erin the broccoli girl did not got to the police of their own volition. It was a third party twitter tag.

*As if, that should say

I will believe this when I see the police confirm it and someone is convicted. Such serious crimes must surely result in further investigation. Presumably all physical evidence has been handed over to the police?

what a load of utter shite

I think I like "Bod" on twitter

Women (mumsnetters!) putting razor blades under stickers my arse. As it.
