Police state?
West Yorkshire Police said two youths, aged 17, were being held on suspicion of threatening behaviour after an incident outside the cathedral.
Read on a bit and you’ll see that the lads were arrested for popping balloons. Now, I know the authorities here have problems identifying what is and isn’t a weapon (i.e. Iraq), but are balloons really to be the next WMD? OK, so they may sound a bit like a gun going off, but an eyewitness on Radio 5 stated that a rozzer heard the noise, saw the second balloon being popped, leapt off his motorcycle, grabbed the lads by the throat and pinned them against a wall. Isn’t that a bit extreme? They were popping balloons! Let’s have some perspective please.

I'm thinking of taking over the UK armed only with a balloon on a stick, and my pissy attitude. It cannot fail. I cannot fail.
