Kid uses "gay" in email, cops come to the rescue:

Police send four police officers to tackle boy, 11, who called schoolmate 'gay'

When two policemen turned up unannounced at Alan Rawlinson's home asking to speak to his young son, the company director feared something serious had happened.

So he was astounded when the officers detailed 11-year-old George's apparent crime - calling one of his schoolfriends 'gay'.

They said primary school pupil, George, was being investigated for a 'very serious' homophobic crime after using the comment in an e-mail to a 10-year-old classmate.

Maybe if the hostage takers could be tricked into calling Blair gay, we might see some action?

This is passing strange to send four cops out to deal with a junior high taunt, while the government feverishly works to ignore much worse coming from Tehran.
