Hi Timby,

I think aroma might be talking about the London Metro newspaper. In fact it's over all the papers, all the news, top headline everywhere in the UK, because the woman was from Liverpool, England (incidentally the same place as the Beatles).

I think there's got to be more to this story than is being reported. It seems like this poor woman (and her tiny students) is being used as a pawn in some political game. It's obvious this woman made a cultural faux-pas, but nothing more. There's got to be something bigger at stake here.
