We need to know...

[bogeyman]

This is what happened:

It started off as a normal day and kids were arriving at school when suddenly
[censored] ... screams [censored...]police...[censored] ...viable - be on your guard! Doomed

Oh. Zeity on a feeding frenzy. Is that all?

...what happened at one of the schools in the Maidenhead area yesterday. The place was swarming with police, pulling over white vans all over the place. Yet the schools won't say what happened (parents are just being told to make sure they know where their kids are all the time), and there's nothing in the local papers or the web.

If something dodgy happened we should be told so we can be careful. Forewarned is forearmed, or whatever the saying is.

Shouldn't be told so that mass panic is averted, which would otherwise make the security services job impossible to do.

possibly

I recall once on the M6 I got stuck in a delay. It was reported once on the traffic news... then nothing. Took a couple of hours to get through.

It is interesting how many news items disappea........ aargh

Theres a lot of things that dont get reported in the news.
Last week, the whole of Oxford Street was closed whilst the police defused a bomb.

Our milk wasn't delivered this morning!!

ahh bollox... google news picked up the word maidenhead in the article but in the wrong context

So the new headmistress isn't a virgin?

[thunderlizard]

& I don't think "Farnham Common Junior School has appointed its new headteacher" would have warranted calling the fuzz out in force, unless they'd appointed Osama Bin Laden or somebody.

[Spacecadet]

Thanks for that. Not sure how that helps exactly. I said Maidenhead, not Farnham Common. Duh!
