Is the text in italics from an earlier version of the council's statement? The linked page seems to have language that is as supportive of the student's blog as is possible.
- chc 14y agoThe story does have a revision date that's shortly after patio11's comment, so that seems quite likely.
- urbanjunkie 14y agoThe text of the original statement is here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4115852 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4115852 This is the version that patio11 is quoting. After this, the shitstorm intensified, and the council leader appeared on Radio 4 to state that this would be reversed. Shortly after that, a version of the statement was put out that was pretty much the opposite of the original one.
