Lewes District Council report me to the Old Bill!

[Lady Bracknell]

Just had the following (very courteous if has to be said) email from Sussex Police:

I have received a complaint from Lewes District Council regarding the wanted2 poster on your website.

We discussed the fact that the wanted3 poster made a legitimate political point regarding the use of public money to fund the judicial review. However, the same cannot be held for the more emotive language used in wanted2. It is the use of the term "murder" that has caused the distress.

The email finishes by asking me to remove that particular image from my site.

Not having designed those wanted posters in order to PLEASE the Leader of the Council it's hardly a surprise that she doesn't like them! But I'd have thought a reasonable first step would be for the Council to contact me first and ask if I could remove the picture. If I refused then they could consider what other action might be appropriate.

Running off to the Police strikes me as a very cowardly way of dealing with things.

Change it to CRAP

CARRYING RESENTMENT AGAINST PRESCOTT

Its nearer the truth

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Exactly what law do the police say you are breaking ?

 

[perseus]

Are you going to be arrested under the new powers?

 

[Sheebo]

ha ha ha ha ha ....post the banner poster thing on here pls ROZ! go on...well funny.

C.U.N.T.S

 

[Grendel]

Couldn't Miss Ugly Bollocks Council Woman (or whatever she's called) just, erm, not visit your website? Crazy idea, I know...

 

[Curious Orange]

Could be a nice story in the Argus that.

 

[Easy 10]

How PATHETIC, running to the police and wasting their time with shite like this. The police are obliged to follow things up if a complaint is made, so I don't necessary blame them for emailing you Roz. But for De Vecchi to deem this worthy of police time just takes her pettyness to new heights. I hope she gets burgled.

Nice little story for the Argus though.

I can see what you're getting at. But it's a rather convoluted crime to put on a wanted poster, innit?

 

[Gwylan]

Exactly what law do the police say you are breaking ?

Quite. Isn't this a civil matter rather than a criminal one?

LDC really are a bunch of cocks, aren't they?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

How many police hours wasted following up LDC's complaint?

 

[Man of Harveys]

Did Ann de Vecci's vegetative thug of a boyfriend ever get what he deserved for beating up that Argus photographer?

 

[enigma]

That is pathetic. All the problems in the world, and they waste their time on this. SCUM.

 

[Everest]

How about

Wanted for the attempted destruction of BHAFC

or

Wanted for being totally f***ing useless

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

How about UNWANTED?

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

this WELL needs to be reported to the argus

they would just look like pathetic LOSERS

it really smacks of desperation

 

[Woodchip]

You do like getting yourself in trouble don't you Roz.

There goes the freedom of speech that the UK is so proud of.

LDC make me

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

this WELL needs to be reported to the argus

Indeed. They may well print a copy of the offending poster on the front page

 

[TSB]

Just checked out the one that says 'they're not singing any more'

classic

 

[The Large One]

They received an complaint from Lewes District Council? But not a complaint from Ann de Vecchi? That woman is plain f***ing weird.

Do her, roz, f***ing DO HER. Do her eyes, maul her face, smash her up. Go on, GO ON. Do it.
