The co-director of a queer-friendly yiddish anarchist café in Glasgow has been charged with a public order offence after police seized a pink “F**k the Police” totebag from its shop window.

Police Scotland said an item “displaying offensive language” was removed from the window of premises in Govanhill following complaints from the public.

A 32-year-old man was charged in connection with breach of the peace, the force said, without naming him nor stating what the item said. 

But a video posted on Twitter by the Pink Peacock - a pay-what-you-can cafe in the Glasgow area - showed a police officer seizing a pink “F**k the Police” totebag from the cafe window.
