Welsh police pepper spray 4- & 5-yo kids in botched weapons demonstration

Gwent Police accidentally sprayed a class of four and five year olds with pepper spray at a school in Wales during a botched weapons demonstration. The weapons were accidentally deployed during a visit from officers to Ysgol Gymraeg Gilfach Fargoed, in Bargoed, Caerphilly, while giving a lesson on police equipment.

The officers were reportedly intending to demonstrate the use of pepper spray using a mock PAVA spray, but accidentally discharged a real canister. Eight pupils aged four and five were hit with the spray, which causes the eyes to close and is extremely painful.

None of the children required hospital treatment, but parents were urged to seek medical assistance if they had concerns about their children�s welfare. One parent said that although she was unimpressed with the officers� conduct, she believed the discharge of chemicals was �a genuine mistake.�

�My son was in the class when the pepper spray was released. We had a phone call from the school to say it had happened. I'm not happy about it, but at the same time, it seems to be a genuine mistake.�

A spokesperson for the police said that �parents were contacted by a senior officer to explain what happened, discuss any concerns, and offer our sincere apologies.�

In a similar case, a 7-year-old girl was injured during a weapons demonstration on November 6 at a police station in Nottinghamshire.

The girl, who remains unnamed, reportedly received a cut lip after an ammunition cartridge fell and bounced as a gun was fired. She was touring a police station in Sherwood Lodge, the headquarters of the Nottinghamshire Police Force.

The incidents have sparked calls for an investigation into the safety of weapon demonstrations.

Caerphilly Council representative Tudor Davies said an inquiry into the incident was necessary, saying, �You don�t pepper spray children, at the end of the day.� The accidental discharge of chemicals occurred on October 30, but details were not publicly available until the story got out on November 6.

The police spokesperson said modifications were being made to weapons demonstration procedure.

Strongly disagree with Caerphilly Council representative Tudor Davies imo. Also all american copgoons please record yourselves trying to say " Ysgol Gymraeg Gilfach Fargoed, in Bargoed, Caerphilly" tia

Drinking and driving is where you drive around in your car drinking. Also known as booze cruising. Drunk driving is when your already poo poo faced and decide to drive somewhere. Usually home or McDonald's

No Booze Cruising is when you a return to France on the ferry and fill as much of your car as possible with tax reduced alcohol and ciggies.

George Osborne must cut deeper into the budgets of the army, police and courts as the annual savings needed to meet his austerity targets are set almost to double to �48bn, Financial Times analysis shows.

As Britain hits the midway mark of its decade of planned austerity, the findings suggest that far from the cuts becoming lighter after 2015 � as the chancellor and prime minister David Cameron have suggested � they are poised to become much harsher for departments outside the protected areas of health, schools and overseas aid.

The findings will come as a blow to the Conservative party which, only six months away from a general election, is seeking to attract voters with talk of more tax cuts.

Many experts, including the International Monetary Fund, say taxes will have to rise in the next parliament or more money will have to be borrowed to prevent a serious hit on many public services.

Mr Cameron wrote last month that most of the cuts in the austerity programme had been achieved, with only �25bn a year still to be removed from budgets.

But the FT�s analysis has found that less than half the reductions have been made. The analysis is based on the Office for Budget Responsibility�s Budget figures from March, which outline the government�s spending plans until 2018-19.

If the next government continues to ringfence health, schools and overseas aid, the non-protected departments face real cuts of 33 per cent, compared with the 21 per cent cuts they faced between 2009-10 and 2014-15.

I look forward to 2020 when the police consists of Weird Brian and his dog, whilst the army will be transformed into a battalion of angry tramps hopped up on special brew*.

Also lol to the former chief whip's solicitors for not submitting a costs budget, thus ensuring their client will be denied any and all costs from the case.

Well it has basically ruined their careers forever so... yes they totally should! It'd get settled out of court but "I sued the prime minister" is a great anecdote.
