Ah you see, it continues the BBC didn't put that.
Most likely he'll be given "words of advice" or possibly a formal caution. I think the CPS is, since the Chambers case, going to be a lot more circumspect about bringing prosecutions for malicious communications where it is unlikely that the threat was serious, which seems likely in this case (have you seen the guy who sent it? He couldn't batter a piece of cod).

It was far better in the good old days. He would not have been arrested. But some public minded citizen would have given him a good kicking.

"You let your dad down i hope you know that."
That just makes me think 'twat', that's it. Cannot see how you could arrest someone for that.
