Brown Hashed Over Again
Fury at teenage police horror
A teenager who posted some silly things on Twitter has been interrogated by police.
Paris Brown was appointed Britain's first youth crime commissioner, in a visionary gimmick whose next manifestation is expected to be the staffing of Childline exclusively by under-tens.
However, she had previously tweeted about hash brownies and referred to travellers as "pikeys", which made her unsuitable for police work in the eyes of some people.
Brown declined to take up the role when her tweets were made public, in defiance of recent precedent which requires that high-ranking officials who cause embarrassment must hang on until well into the post-ludicrous phase.
She was interviewed last weekend by Kent police, whose officers worked overtime to examine her mobile phone.
In a defiant intervention which will raise new questions about legal aid, Brown's solicitors have questioned whether the operation constitutes proper use of police time.
