This was moved from General Gassing?

She got convicted for farting in her general direction?

Glad that the police are concentrating on the serious crimes.

I thought the police, cps and courts were underfunded and at breaking point?

"Pursue a course of conduct" - are the police, CPS and Courts just meant to ignore harassment??

Ideally not but they ignore plenty of other crimes as a matter of policy.

Sentence has to be a bit of a blow.

It would have been better all round if the "victim" had just been taught how to ignore the gas bag on WhatsApp.

As far as escalations go she was hardly fearing for her life. And if 7 WhatsApps of a woman farting and grinning are tipping you over the edge...

"Victim blaming"? Baaaah.

There was probably more to it than a few farts, but that is the bit that allows the media to make a few jokes, hence what we read.

The same could be said for a majority of crimes that the police have reported to them.

A bitter blow to those who got first wind of it.
