Police in south-east Kent, meanwhile, have reported a spate of snowball-throwing incidents. Seventy-five complaints were made about snowballs hitting people, cars and houses - almost a fifth of all calls received during Wednesday night, they said.

Kent Crime Wave
I daresay the police had quite a dilemma as to whether to charge the miscreants under the prevention of terrorism act or the serious organised crime act. -
I thought the "Serious Organised Crime Act" was about dealing with people who sit around doing nothing particularly serious, organised, or criminal?
So I recon it'd be the prevention of terrorism act. 'Cause chasing them would only encourage the little darlings.
Maybe the plod couldn't find a file? I understand they need to open to one to give to the CPS if they accidentally capture someone.
Maybe they don't have snow tires on their nee-naws and the health and safety won't allow them to run on potentially icy surfaces?

I bet you thought only IR35 and S660a were aimed at contractors?
You want to read some of the new crimes:
"Travelling 1st class without a power point presentation."
"Ability to install GNU/Linux on a laptop."
"Keeping your bank account details on an encrypted partition and forgetting the password." oops that one was RIPA...Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.
