Obviously nothing particularly out of the ordinary about this. But I wonder if we'll be seeing more of this kind of thing in view of recent events
I mean, presumably the authorities don't want to be acccused of hypocrisy if it's pointed out that these things seem to be more of a problem when the targets are people earning a million pounds a month and who are abused on twitter, rather than gig economy workers targetted on the streets and at their place of work
Purely coincidental, I'm sure, but think this is the same rank featured a few days ago in the news article about card payment issues, or at least it's in the same Barbican area of Plymouth.
