No, she said they were intercepting forearms. She would no after all. There the best intel analyst the Chesire Police had to offer I'm sure.

I no [sic] a lady who works for the police. This is not hearsay. Direct to me. They can access Encro software. And are using to intercept forearms [sic] only at the moment. There [sic] software runs 48 hours behind real time. So have ur burns one day max. And try to avoid giving postcodes over it.

Don't people read the article anymore?

Damn forearms.

Impeding the right to bare arms. Shameful.

I must confess I started to google "Forearms UK" thinking it's some foreign expression I never heard... At which point I was reminded how close 'I' and 'O' are.

Damn forearms indeed.

Bear forearms only. Doesn't apply to any other animal

Oh we are.

They get so smug about it on Twitter as well it's infuriating. Look we've taken a dangerous amount of weed off the streets nearly 4 grams.
