Summary

Scott Bennett makes a welcome return this week to discuss the police sending a SWAT team out because of some hurty words.

0:00.0	What most people think.
0:14.2	Hello and welcome to this week's episode of what most people think and I hope that you are watching out for the sound of police, the WhatsApp
0:22.3	police. You must have heard this story. You must have heard this story. I'm going to bring in
0:26.4	Scott Bennett returning guests today. Obviously we'll get to it in detail, Scott, but this story
0:31.9	about this middle-aged, middle-class couple being six coppers arriving at their door because of stuff they said at a WhatsApp
0:39.2	group about a primary school. It sent shivers down the spine of Middle England. Yeah, I know.
0:45.4	It was an interesting one. It felt, I mean, it felt a tad like an overreaction, didn't it? I think
0:50.4	just a bit, yeah. The problem was, I think she used the phrase control freak she called someone a control freak
0:56.5	and obviously the best way to respond to accusations of being called a control freak
1:01.3	is to send six police officers around. I'm raising issues about the leadership of this school. It might

1:41.5	It's come back more times than Arrell Bishop, aren't it?
2:06.2	In neighbours. Everyone's finished. I think it's your idea of what's finished, isn't it? It's like someone was like, the stamps have gone up two pence. That's Britain finished. The world's gone mad. That's my favourite phrase online is when people say the world's gone mad. And what you realise, what drove them to say that the world had gone mad was that they had to reposition zebra crossing because of squirrels.
2:09.7	Yeah, it's always low-level stuff.
2:12.1	I think when you actually think about politics, I think if it affects people on a low-level
