You can just see by looking at them in the pictures that they look like real thugs. I am only surprised that they didn't have a SWAT team as they were taking some risk there.

Police will target easy prey.
By doing so, they can justify not dealing with hardcore criminals and get their numbers up as demanded by their fat cats.
I feel for police officers: they're working in very small numbers, longest hours ever and with their hands tied behind their back because of the liberal mentality imposed on society.
I don't blame them for trying to stay out of reach of criminals and deal with easy "suspects".

Arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to cause a public nuisance.
Hardly crime of the century.

Cromwell's Puritan regime persecuted them to the extent they went to the New World to found their own land where they could practice freedom of speech and religious thought without interference from the state. No surprise to see modern day Fascists carrying on the Republican tradition.

It’s unbelievably arrogant for a head teacher to think that they have a right to silence criticism. There is nothing in law that says a parent must follow a complaints procedure.

I would be seeking advice for a civil damages claim for possible false reporting.

I would want to know who the little snitch was who was copying and pasting my messages to the school in the first place.

I got involved in a defamation claim supporting governors, years ago at my kids school, against parents as the head teacher wanted them “prosecuted”. It took 5 mins reviewing the private facebook messages to conclude that it was free speech and I also advised against a possible breach of data protection rules covertly collecting the messages and keeping them on file.
