@EmmaElgee The Twerton area has higher proportion of disabled people than most other areas in Bath. A friend who lives a stone's throw from Freeview Rd takes cannabis for MS. I'm angry because you could easily have knocked on her door, told the cops & painted her as 'druggy' in the press

[Occupy Bath @Occupy_Bath]

@EmmaElgee @UKCIA The article says 'findings', plural, implying that more than just one thing was reported to the police. @UKCIA, thank you - legend. You're very right, there are underlying issues here not being addressed.

@EmmaElgee @CLEARUK @NORMLUK @UKCIA there's a journalist here who could really do with hearing the other side of the story

[Occupy Bath @Occupy_Bath]

@EmmaElgee What if the person you reported for dealing had lost their job and was selling a bit of smoke in order to pay the rent and feed the kids? Did you even ask them? And how exactly were they 'county lines'? That term does not mean what you think it means.

[Occupy Bath @Occupy_Bath]

@EmmaElgee Seriously, what if one of the people you reported was a disabled person with MS, CFS, epilepsy or another severe illness for which only an archaic law is standing in the way of them getting it on prescription? Did that not even cross your mind?

@EmmaElgee Try the banking sector in this city.

[Occupy Bath @Occupy_Bath]

@EmmaElgee You're a total snitch - you're article states that you passed on 'findings' to the cops. You did not at all consider why people might be smoking or selling weed and tell their side of the story. Now that would be real reporting.

[Occupy Bath @Occupy_Bath]

@EmmaElgee Why did you come into a working-class community and snitch on people smoking a harmless bit of weed, some of whom may have had severe health conditions or other personal circumstances that you obviously don't care about?

[Occupy Bath @Occupy_Bath]

@EmmaElgee 'County lines drug dealers'. Was this something you read in the Daily Fail and somehow decided relates to anyone selling a bit of hash to make ends meet?
