I know. It was almost predictable.
The fight goes on.

There's been very little about this - council workers should be able to go about their business with fear of toxic substances. Can't believe it's reported as a woman.

Police (and media) are lying about the man’s sex.

I wonder what the substance was that led people to believe it was toxic enough that a street needed to be closed.

Happysnappydays · 26/08/2026 07:18

Surely obvious that they closed the street because they didn't know what it was - most adhesives/varnishes would give off a chemical smell as you tried to remove them

Wouldn't it be nice if this individual - if found guilty - was asked to pay towards the cost of the police response and the clean up operation.

JustPlainStanfreyPock · 26/08/2026 09:45

Woman? Aye, right...

Wouldn’t it be nice if the police didn’t pretend men’s crimes were women’s.

It would. And you are probably correct that the "30 year old woman" is a 30 year old man in a dress. But I don't think name/photo has been released yet.
