It's Grimm In The West Midlands

How are they celebrating Christmas over on Knifecrime Island? With a dose of gritty realism: “Humbug teachers at a primary school have come under fire for re-writing this year’s Christmas pantomime of Hansel and Gretel — to make them hooded yobs. The fairytale characters have been re-cast as violent thugs who terrorise their neighbourhood and bully people as they hunt for the gingerbread house. And instead of a wicked witch owning the gingerbread house, it belongs to a defenceless elderly woman who is devastated when she finds her home wrecked by the evil pair.” Do click through for the pictures, they just… say so much.
