    Four people were arrested on “suspicion of malicious communications”

    WTF? Sounds like some authoritarian thought crime BS straight from China, North Korea or Russia FFS (and more and more the US).

        But they do it with British understatement, that’s why nobody around the world notices it. It’s not as shrill, when people sipping tea say things like “Jolly, they invited our neighbours to the conci-tuffy-encampment. I reckon we won’t having them over for tea that soon. My, my!”
