Surely this can't be true, can it? The police taking an interest in you because you are reading the wrong type of magazine. WTF!!
"Charlie Hebdo buyers attract police interest "
"Your offer of commemorative badges in support of journalistic freedom highlighting “Je suis Charlie”, prompts me to suggest a degree of caution following my experience. Tongue in cheek, I asked my helpful newsagents to obtain a copy of the edition of Charlie Hebdo issued after the dreadful massacre in Paris, if indeed a copy was ever available in north Wiltshire. To my surprise, a copy arrived last Wednesday week and although the standard of content in no way matches that of the Guardian I will cherish it. However, two days later a member of Her Majesty’s police service visited said newsagent, requesting the names of the four customers who had purchased Charlie Hebdo. So beware, your badges may attract police interest in your customers.

Well not really. I disagree with the pope and those offended by Charlie Hebdo. Neither set of views is appropriate.Insult my Mum and I'll ask you why you think that's appropriate. If you have a good point I'll put it to my Mum/agree with you. If you don't I'll consider you a bit of a w

That surely cannot be true.
Please tell me she made it all up.
She wasn't lying.Please tell me she made it all up.

Wiltshire Police has now confirmed that an officer did visit a local shop in Corsham to request the names of those who had purchased the copies of the magazine and issued an apology “to the members of the public who may be affected by this”.
A Wiltshire Police spokesman said: “Following the terrorism incident in Paris, France on 7 January 2015, Wiltshire Police undertook an assessment of community tensions across the county.
“As part of this work, local sector policing teams were asked to be mindful of business premises, in particular newsagents who may be distributing the Charlie Hebdo magazine and to consider that these shops may be vulnerable.
“There was no specific threat nationally and nothing to suggest newsagents in particular would be vulnerable.
“A police officer visited a local shop and post office in Corsham to make an assessment of community tensions and, if appropriate, encourage the newsagent’s owner to be vigilant.
“During this conversation the officer requested information about subscribers to the Charlie Hebdo magazine.
“Wiltshire Police would like to apologise to the members of public who may be affected by this. Information relating to this specific incident has been permanently and securely disposed of.
“Wiltshire Police are confident that the police officer’s intention was purely around enhancing public safety and ensuring that the newsagent was advised appropriately.”

So it wasn't even an isolated incident.

fausands of 'em!
The Police seem to be blaming John Menzies for this one.
Mail said:
It appears that The Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) was handed a list of Charlie Hebdo's UK stockists by John Menzies, one of the the magazine's UK distributors.
ACPO then alerted forces who had shops selling Charlie Hebdo in their area, saying that officers should be aware that the magazine was on sale.
According to an ACPO spokesman, the alert suggested that police may wish to visit the shops involved, but only if there were signs of rising tensions.
A Wiltshire Police officer visited a small newsagents and post office in Wiltshire and requested the personal details of all subscribers to the Charlie Hebdo magazine (pictured), which was the subject of a terrorist attack. Now it has emerged that officers in Wales and Cheshire have also approached shopkeepers

A Wiltshire Police officer visited a small newsagents and post office in Wiltshire and requested the personal details of all subscribers to the Charlie Hebdo magazine (pictured), which was the subject of a terrorist attack. Now it has emerged that officers in Wales and Cheshire have also approached shopkeepers
The ACPO advice did not recommend visiting each shop, and did not mention taking down the details of customers who had bought the publication, according to the spokesman.
It would appear that the three forces concerned either misunderstood the advice, or acted on their own impulse when they decided to ask for information on customers.
John Menzies initially denied leaking information to the police, but since ACPO issued a statement to the contrary, they have refused to comment.
Smiths News, another Charlie Hebdo distributor, has also refused to comment. The move has been branded 'entirely unacceptable' by privacy campaigners.
An ACPO spokesman said: 'John Menzies, as the distributor for Charlie Hebdo within the UK, provided the police service, through the National Counter-Terrorism Policing HQ, with a list of outlets which were stocking the edition of Charlie Hebdo released following the Paris atrocities.
'This was done so that local officers could be aware of any potential tensions on their beat arising from the sales of the magazine, given the situation following the killings.

I think ACPO should be commended for being mindful of potential tensions given the way some people may react when they encounter The Sun newspaper on their daily commute.
