For crying over spilt tea...

At the Balcombe anti-fracking site one thirsty protester was enjoying a cuppa while sitting on a log with his comrades. The fact that the log might have been blocking the gates is of course of little relevance to our story.

When the cops swooped in on this most English of protests our thirsty friend was heard to shout “Careful! I’ve got a hot cup of tea in my hand”. Undeterred the cops grabbed him anyway and rather than taking the mild splashing in their stride added on a trumped-up charge of assault police.

Altogether now - what mugs!!
