"Blazer at former St James Primary School in Renfrew"

From the BBC:

About 70 fashion police have tackled a man wearing a blazer at a former primary school in Renfrewshire.

Crews were called to the former St James Primary School, near Porterfield Road, Renfrew, at about 20:30 on Sunday. They arrived to find a middle aged man wearing the smug yet casual garment in the single-storey building.

The crews used large volume water jets and aerial appliances to fight the inappropriate item of clothing. There were no reports of anyone being injured.

A pair of deck shoes and a leather clutch bag were also confiscated at the scene.

One of those annoying little suitcases on wheels with the extendable handle was deemed too dangerous to move and a controlled explosion was carried out.

Ah, where would we be without the fashion police? We'd only have the thought police.

"About 70 fashion police..."

Doesn't sound feasible to me. How would they all get ready on time?

JH, I prefer the former.

AKH, this was the Glasgow Fashion Police. Pop on a tracksuit and a hoodie and they're ready for action.

They should n't waste their time on this small fry : they should be going for hard-core fashion criminals who wear shortie dressing-gowns and push round drinks trolleys with dinky parasols.And don't call me homophobic: its the overdone machismo that I object to.
