"Facebook" helps prevent new crime!

With the timely assistance of our 'boys in blue' of course, all credit to them...

The fascists enforcing this crap should be the ones behind bars. Do the police only recruit unquestioning robots with IQs below 60 now?

All she appeared to do was question the selection process, which given some american X-factor celebrity judge who has given nothing to this country carried the torch certainly needs questioning.

The olympics is turning into a gross spectacle of all that is wrong with our country, from obscene costs, to big brother state, to the political class and limo lanes, to knee-jerk security and 'anti terrorism' hysteria to political correctness and the supression of free speech.

Frankly it makes me ashamed to be British.

Why do I think there is more to this tha was is in the article?

[Sheets Tabuer]

I was going to express my displeasure with the actions portrayed in this story but I fear the police may read it

[neilr]

The sheeple have slept-walked into big brother madness by allowing themselve to be distracted by shiny crap in the shape of mindless TV shows like the x-factor and with rubbish like iPhones, it's like most of them are in a perpetual trance unaware of whats really going on and what they have allowed to happen.

Of course people should have more sense before posting stuff on line for all and sundry to read but, even if theres more to the article than meets the eye, it proves that 'they' are watching.

We've seen this before but it was in black and white, and couldn't understand it because it was in German.

Get a grip

Chances are a) someone who has access to her FB made a complaint - no one was 'watching' and b) she probably said more than the article implies.

Should the Police have used their discretion not to bother to do anything? Maybe. It really depends on what was said.

From what I read she'd posted the remarks on the actual event's FB page, so it wasn't just her and her friends that saw it, it was the public at large who were looking at the page.

Wouldn't surprise me if one of the organisers or mods for the page saw it and made the complaint. I'd be very surprised if Plod were trawling the site looking for nefarious posts.

Is this the seriously undermanned police force i hear about in the news or is it the another one?

Strange country.

This

[TheAlfaMale]

Am I missing something or did she not actually make the suggestion to extinguish the flame? That, from the looks of the transcript, was somebody called "Jo."

Has this "Jo" been warned also?

Would that be iPlod?



New plain clothes (well, Hawaiian shirts and shorts) dept. set up to watch the internet...

I really hope this isn't true - the good news is that being in the paper it likely isn't!

"Police, 999? Help, please, quick someone is breaking into my garage."

"Sorry, we have no-one available right now, your call is important to us and you are moving up the queue."

Investigating real crimes; international security and all that. Oh, and jokes about using water pistols.

No. Limited resources should have done it for them!

Bulgarian Wrestling Federation?

Or is Weight Watchers one of the corporate sponsors?

[Puggit]

Why are people lining the streets in the rain to watch a nobody carry an oversized cigarette lighter, which is actually an advertising parade for an overpriced jamboree, paraded down the street?

It may be once in a lifetime, but it's a nothing event happening once.
