Fuming mum says daughter was made to remove coat during outdoor PE lesson in freezing weather
I wonder whether an editor would have published this type of story thirty years ago. Reach, however, has a 'Facebook' tag for stories. Presumably local journalism has been reduced to searching social media for people blowing off steam, then seeking a response from the alleged offender. It's Leicester, so there is no real news today.
(My second favourite local newspaper story is about a (thankfully minor) house fire caused by somebody drying their training shoes in a microwave oven.)
