More idiocy from Little Britain (formerly Great).
Parkinson's disease sufferer, 54, held by police at Olympic cycling road race 'because he would not smile'
- Former soldier Mark Worsfold arrested for his 'manner, state of dress and proximity to the course' as cyclists came through Leatherhead
- He was detained and questioned for five hours
A father with Parkinson’s disease was arrested as he watched the Olympic cycling road race because he ‘failed to smile or look like he was enjoying himself’.
Mark Worsfold, a martial arts trainer and former soldier, claims that he was thrown to the floor and handcuffed just as cyclists passed by.
His worried wife Nicola only found out he was being held after she reported him missing when he did not turn up for their daughter’s ninth birthday party.

The 54-year-old had his fingerprints, DNA and mugshot taken before being questioned about why he did not appear to be enjoying the event on July 28.
Police said Mr Worsfold, who was held for over five hours, was arrested because of ‘his manner, his state of dress and his proximity to the course’.

If I was in England, I might not be smiling either. The bangers and eggs just don't sit right with me.
If that is a crime, then they ought to arrest the guy sitting behind the First Family at the basketball game where BO and MO were caught on the Kiss Cam (Warning, video may be disturbing for some viewers
)
Can you spot MO, BO and Curly Joe's Secret Service Agent??

He was arrested for something that the British don't know how to do anyways?

I apologize, but I don't know what you meant by that.
I believe he was referring to "Minority Report," a movie starring Tom Cruise.

This is a fine example of complete stupidity.
