    Shes a teenager, not an adult. The tweets in question were made when she was a child

    No, the tweets in question were made in the last six months.

    If we have to pay £15k of public money to a teenager to "guide the PCC's office", please can we give it to a nicer person. There are lots of nicer teenagers.

    Having heard a couple of interviews with Ann Barnes, I am amazed that she has not also resigned. She is truly awful.

    Does anyone know if she is related to Paris Brown? Her aunt, perhaps? I have seen a lot of people asking this, and - having seen several photographs of them together both before and after Paris' tweets were discovered - I cannot help wondering about it too.

    So what is this about then?
    Police are investigating her over tweets she posted between the ages of 14 and 16 which could be considered racist and anti-gay.

    What a shame - all that knowledge, wisdom and experience of guiding a modern police force will now go to waste, and they will just have to try and manage somehow without her input.
