You’d think that in Britain, the worst thing that could happen to you after sending a few critical WhatsApp messages would be a passive-aggressive reply or, at most, a snooty whisper campaign. What you probably wouldn’t expect is to have six police officers show up on your doorstep like they’re hunting down a cartel. But that’s precisely what happened to Maxie Allen and Rosalind Levine — two parents whose great offense was asking some mildly inconvenient questions about how their daughter’s school planned to replace its retiring principal.
Seems unlikely. Ragebait. There must be missing detail. They only got the parents side of the story so ofc they’re going to make it sound like it’s ridiculous.
They had already been banned from school grounds, which doesn’t happen because you are being too calm and reasonable.
Horrendously editorialised, too; it’s written in such a way as to specifically get people riled up. Tabloid-style rubbish.
Right, the radio guy in Crysis 2, he talks like that.

God that game saying “Find Nathan Gould” over and over.

…
It certainly wasn’t just “complaining on WhatsApp” that they were arrested for.
I believe the arrest did happened, but unclear what those two said in the comms, How frequent the comms were, or did in school’s area. For sure missing details, and try to get readers emotional.
