I said that to someone the other day. Given how secure schools are these days surely you can't just have people wandering in to vote.Is the school being used as a polling station? In which case it'd be shut anyway.
Do they all close on voting day?
only ones used as polling stations.
Looks like a few schools have closed due to a man acting suspiciously. Any idea what he was actually doing?
Got my kids ready for school today. Walked up to the school with my youngest. His school is half infants and half nursery school. They normally close the nursery side for voting.
Got close to his school. The lollypop lady said he didn't have school today as the whole school was closed. My lad looked up and said "I knew it was closed but isn't it funny that you came here for no reason"
What made it worse is it was pissing it down at the time.
I gave up trying not to laugh. Should have known though. He got ready for school without me saying anything. I normally have to chase him around in the morning.Lmao, your kid is funny
From what I've heard a more serious incident occurred at one of the other schools which was closedWe just got an email from my daughter's school. Seems that possibly someone was photographing the school entrance at Whitmore Park and that raised concerns.
The letter then goes on to say though that it has all been embellished through social media and gotten out of hand.
View attachment Lettertoparents8June217pdf.pdfDon't think that is right. Not according to the head of Coundon Court anyway.
He said he has spoken to police. They say there was the one incident and then it all got embellished on Facebook and other social media.
Not saying it isn't true, but that is what the police told the headteacher at Coundon Court.
Don't know the full incident something along the lines of two men in balaclavas crashed into the back of a womans car, the woman got out to see what was going on. When she saw two men in balaclavas getting out the other car and coming at her she ran to safety in the school. Then apparently they were threatening to kill the children and fled before police arrived.What happened at the other one?
It does, I've only heard it retold by another family member who spoke directly to the family member who works at the school so Otis scepticism on chinese whispers could be true. Although it's a pretty big jump from the letter to what I've heard.It does all seem a bit strange.
Christ, surely that would be on the news?
Yep. Starts off on here and the next day it hits the Telegraph.it doesn't need to be, it's on here.
World peace and a veggie Quorn sausage pizza.Otis what are you hoping for??
Yes this sounds like what I was toldIs this what the incident was?
