War on Terror boardgame branded criminal by police!

Has one come across this story yet? I saw it a few weeks ago but didn't "pass the word on" as it were. Also it is a matter for serious discussion but it is a wee bit silly too so plx move if it's not deemed serious enough. :lol:

"It may not be fun for all the family – well, not in the same way as Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit or Mousetrap, say. It is rare, however, for a board game to be seized by the police. This week that distinction befell: War on Terror: The Boardgame; a set was confiscated from climate protesters in Kent." :|

So I was wondering what ye 'lopers think? (Especially those not from the UK) :smt005

I think it's pretty bad taste, but there's really no reason to ban it. It doesn't harm anyone or cause any sort of threat. The whole "balaclava" issue sounds like they really overestimated the danger of the game, and in their embarrassment came up with that excuse.
