An Ickite may have received an apology from the BBC for being laughed at and not with, but anyone who took part in online abuse of Ashley Cole and Ashley Young are unlikely to receive one for the response from West Midlands Police:
In one post the tweeter wrote: “All I got to say is this was just a joke, you guys need to relax, police know i was kiddin around and they won’t bother me hopefully, cheers.”
A reply from the West Midlands Police account said: “Wrong. Your comments may constitute a public order offence. We have advised complainants how to officially report this to police.”
