        @MarkGSparrow @ajcdeane It would be a bit awkward trying to Tweet them about a crime, while being mugged/punched/stabbed/shot.

        @RobLawfordUK @ajcdeane Im not suggesting anyone should. A crime needs to be properly reported via 999 if it’s an emergency.

        @LeighAnneGordo2 That’s the attitude. It’s just words on a screen from a big mouth. :-)

        @JamesDo24914230 Sad I should have to make that joke. Scotland brought so much to the Union. I hate to see this kind of thing going on.
