Well, that article in the Indy was a surprise, I certainly thought that poster was responsible for a lot of the recruiting in 1914.

Further .. I believe the poster in the background is a bit wonky.

It showed up on my facebook page JJ, don't know where it originated though.

I don't do Twitter or Instagram.

Well done Manx, I spent 10/15 minutes on the police site and couldn't find that post.

Probably fake but these days, well who knows!

I don't know, I think there's a very good chance it's real -- with year 7 students mocking the anti-knife policies (or any number of other things, including law enforcement) by being smart-arses & "turning in their scissors".  Totally sounds like something a lot of my friends & I would have done in junior & senior high. 

And the joke's on the Ealing Police.  If so, this could explain why Steve couldn't find it on their page -- someone was bound to catch on eventually.

I am thinking fake. I just spent an hour surfing Ealing Police's Facebook page, and while they post on it A LOT...I saw nothing mentioned on this. And honestly, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if it was true.

Should be easy enough to check, John, depends on when it was posted.

I saw this on Facebook and just hope it is a fake, but I fear not.
