Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.

The police crackdown over a video of United States President Donald Trump and convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein projected onto Windsor Castle has been dubbed a “ridiculous overreaction”.

Thames Valley Police said four men were arrested on suspicion of malicious communications following the stunt.

One is a 60-year-old from East Sussex and one is a 37-year-old from Kent.

The other two men, both from London, are aged 36 and 50.

The film, created by political campaign group Led By Donkeys, lasted nine minutes and was projected from a hotel room with a direct view to the castle.

It covered the history of Mr Trump’s links to Epstein, including the recent release by US authorities of a raft of documents alleged to include a letter from the president to Epstein to celebrate his 50th birthday.

Seems like an overreaction, he didn't do great in the Grand Swiss and he's a bit prone to accusing other players of cheating, but shitting on his children is a bit much.
