I earlier made reference between hurtful and abusive comments made towards persons via Twitter, commenting that to some of this type of abuse can be as hurtful to the recipient as racial abusive comments can be to certain minority groups.
But now it appears that some non-racial hurtful comments made via twitter, can turn out to be an arrestable offence.

/// The Facebook conversation is said to have taken place on a Saturday, when the school was closed, and begins with teacher Stuart Clark writing that he is ‘fed up of bumping into children in town’. ///
Later Nyanza Roberts makes a reference to an area of the town and adds: ‘No wonder everyone is thick… inbreeding must damage brain development.’
/// Head Debbie Johnson responded: ‘You’re really on one today mrs…!!Xx’ ///
/// Miss Roberts replies: ‘Haha I’m actually in a good mood!! If anyone reading this is offended, then get a grip!!’ ///
/// Another teacher, Jane Johnson, then interjects: ‘Massive queue of Westcott year 5/6 kids in poundland!X’ ///
All very damaging stuff, me thinks.
