Instead, They Were Booked For Possession Of A Goldfish In A Bag….

Police officers swooped on Danson Park this afternoon after receiving reports of firearms …
Oooh! Scary!
…– but they turned out to be toys won at the funfair.
Ah. Maybe not.
The Met Police helicopter was also scrambled to the scene.
/facepalm

*Something about cuts to frontline services*

Officers from the Air Support Unit stopped and spoke with a group of men with plastic imitation weapons.

They were given words of advice but no arrests were made.


Words of advice?

Threats of summary execution might be a better description of what was said.

As we saw at the Dartford Crossing, when it's something potentially juicy and/or politically embarrassing, suddenly, there's resources galore!
