We live in a terrifying world, where terrorism lurks around every corner. No-one is safe… from children’s TV presenters…
As read in the Guardian
ITV children’s TV presenters Anna Williamson and Jamie Rickers have revealed that they were once questioned by police under anti-terrorism powers – for carrying glittery hairdryers.
Yes… Glittery hairdryers…
“Jamie and I were kitted out in fake utility belts, we had the whole bulletproof flak jacket thing, we’ve got hairdryers in our belt, a kids’ £1.99 walkie-talkie, hairbrushes and all that kind of stuff, and we were being followed by a camera crew and a boom mike and we get literally pulled over by four policemen and we were issued with a warning ‘under the act of terrorism’.”
Rickers added: “We were stopped, not arrested, but they had to say ‘we are holding you under the Anti-Terrorism Act because you’re running around in flak jackets and a utility belt’, and I said ‘and please put spangly blue hairdryer’ and he was, like, ‘all right’.”
So, just to clarify, kids TV show people with camera crew and sparkling hairdressing paraphernalia warrants the police to investigate, yet a local shop I visit had a ton of damage done to the back of their building and the police don’t investigate?
Intriguing…
