yes, it does look like the message here is anti-police.

That made me think of the Basil Fawlty response: "Not funny? Well, err, pithy I suppose". *smack*
I interpreted it more as general stupidity
That and also at the Tory government for introducing those draconian anti protest laws in the first place. Interesting how the Labour government doesn't want to repeal it, isn't it?
@Ian i guess that too.
Me: There's a dying man in our garden, I think he was stabbed. Police: (deafening silence)
Me: There's a dying (insert racial or homophobic slur here) in our garden, I think he was stabbed. Police: Would be around to arrest me before I disconnected the call
I don't know if you Britishes are aware of this, but internationally there's this meme on Britain that goes like "oi, do you have a loicense for that [insert silly harmless thing]?", due to the many news articles about people getting fined or even jailed over things that are just unimaginable to the rest of the world. It all started with a buttahknoife... 
Oh damn, they don't even explain why, but it's clearly due to the Online Safety Act. Such a pita, that legislation how it's closing off ever greater parts of the web in a kneejerk reaction for online safety.
No, I don't have any subscriptions to any picture service and as far as I can tell, no one's linked to their service on here.

I'm just surprised that they took Imgur. It's a very vanilla community, and arguably a bit left leaning. The last thing you'll see there is politically incorrect content. When I look at the front page now I see:
Heavens forbid that the people of Britain get to see this. I hope that OSA doesn't take down NZ for this screenshot, @Retro !
- A woman who did an impressive weight loss
- How paper cups with water in them don't burn as easily as empty paper cups
- A frog hiding in carved out Chinese letters on a wall
- Like five different threads where they are making fun of Donald Trump
- A bird that looks like it has a funny hairdo
- Two random men throwing friendly banter at each other and have a hearty laugh
- A cute kitty
- Someone who has been drawing corgis for 2000 consecutive days
- Cute Asian girl making a Cola slushie
- Oh, another thread where they make fun of Trump
- And then there is this.... this I cannot describe...

Those are some really great examples, Hitcore. The idea behind OSA is that there is the potential for really bad stuff on there, especially in private messages, assuming imgur even supports them, I've never used it.
And yet, it's all so ineffective at acually stopping the bad guys. Imagine the following scenario:
Someone sets up a forum which requires a login to see anything at all, very easy to do with this software, for example. Now, don't associate a domain with the IP address so that fellow perpetrators just enter the IP address instead and log in. How is Big Brother gonna catch that? Short answer is they won't unless a member rats it out and that's highly unlikely as they'll be nailed too.
So, the website isn't publicly accessible, but that hardly matters, as most of this illegal stuff is spread by word of mouth anyway.
This is only one way that I can think of off the top of my head. See how easy it is? And I assure you that unstoppable sites like that exist and more, especially on the dark web.

I like to imagine that the Google Streetview car was driving around the roads as usual, and then the driver saw that extraordinary scene going on, went like wtf, and proceeded to take the car to the pavement because that HAD to be recorded!
I do wonder now what would happen if you Britishes use VPN in order to get your daily modern day Renaissance painting scene Streetview fix. If detected, would old Bill knock on your door and ask for your VPN loicense? Honest question. 
I could believe that this has actually happened somewhere.
