Terror police detain disabled boy

Your obligatory BBC News story on the crapness of Britain, for today.

Quote:
A police force has apologised after a disabled child and his parents were detained at a Channel crossing point under the Terrorism Act.

Julie Maynard, of Ware, Hertfordshire, was taking a day trip to Calais through the Channel Tunnel in Folkestone, Kent.

The detective constable accused Ms Maynard and her husband Leslie Coombs of trafficking her son Joshua, 12.

Kent Police apologised and described the incident as inappropriate, unprofessional and lacking in tact.

Fixed for cynicism.
