Is Britain the world's first "soft totalitarian" state?

14-year-old schoolgirl, Codie Stott, asked a teacher if she could sit with another group to do a science project as all the girls with her spoke only Urdu. The teacher's first response, according to Stott, was to scream at her: "It's racist, you're going to get done by the police!" Upset and terrified, the schoolgirl went outside to calm down. The teacher called the police and a few days later, presumably after officialdom had thought the matter over, she was arrested and taken to a police station, where she was fingerprinted and photographed. According to her mother, she was placed in a bare cell for 3 1/2 hours.

If this insanity doesn't upset the English then I'm not sure what would.

You can liken this to the heresy and witchcraft trials in Medieval times - with the Government acting as the Inquisition. Quite a frightening prospect.
