from the Telegraph

The Metropolitan police have embarrassingly removed posters which used a cartoon of a "shifty" looking Bill Clinton to warn of the dangers of gambling.

It emerged yesterday that community police officers in east London had produced the posters proclaiming: "Street Gamblers: Don't Give Them Your Money!" with an image of the former American president looming over a gambling table, with his large hands planted next to a three-card trick.

The image was drawn by the Australian Pulitzer prizewinning cartoonist and can be viewed at the Library of Congress on Capitol Hill.

Scotland Yard became aware of the posters yesterday and in a statement said that they have "since been removed".
