Link: More bomb threats in UK schools - at least 16 evacuated the day after 27 closed - Mirror Online

 

...At least 17 schools were plunged into chaos after threats to bomb, shoot and behead children were received across the UK.

 

Police Scotland said "a number of schools" in the central area received a telephoned threat today and that two have been closed down.

 

Canberra Primary in South Lanarkshire has been "cordoned off" and pupils have been moved to Mossneuk, according to parents...

 

Any Edugeekers affected by this? Is everyone OK?

Heard about this yesterday but didn't know it happened again today. Similar threats made in France and Australia according to that article. Very bizarre.

I think 99.9999999% of the time it's kids pranking the school to get a quick and easy day off.

If only it was that simple these days @abillybob sadly with recent events they have to take these things seriously

Recorded messages about bombs, beheadings etc apparently:

It's a sad state of affairs that these things have to be taken seriously because of the ridiculous world we live in.

 

To the point even I had to sit down and talk to my LM and another, to discuss "What if" we needed an emergency evacuation without using the fire alarm.

 

No matter what people say, you can't justify these murderers scumbags that can walk in to a School and shoot without hesitation (let alone any civilian).
