  These days, you get arrested just for saying you’re English

  Why isn’t the website a .net?

    Maxie Allen and his partner, Rosalind Levine, said they were arrested and detained on suspicion of harassment, malicious communications and causing a nuisance on school property.

    I suspect the arrest was more due to the “causing a nuisance on school property” than the complaining on WhatsApp.

    They had already been banned from school grounds, which doesn’t happen because you are being too calm and reasonable.

    I believe the arrest did happened, but unclear what those two said in the comms, or did in school are before they were bamned. For sure missing details, and try to get readers emotional.

    Horrendously editorialised, too; it’s written in such a way as to specifically get people riled up. Tabloid-style rubbish.

      Right, the radio guy in Crysis 2, he talks like that.
