Sussex teacher 'abducted by aliens in UFO' (From The Argus)

Pupils were terrified after a school staged an alien crash landing which ended with a teacher being 'abducted'.

Children aged between seven and 11 at Southway Junior School in Southway, Burgess Hill, watched in horror as a 'spaceship' crashed near their school and aliens grabbed a member of staff.

The 'alien invasion' show, which was supported by Sussex police, took place without parents being informed, leaving some angry that they had to comfort their children.

The event, held on Friday, was designed to 'develop youngsters' writing skills' and fire their imagination - but some children were left traumatised by the show.

Southway School has admitted that a number of parents complained after their children returned home in a 'state of shock'.

Youngsters had to be reassured that the abducted member of staff was safe and well after he was carted off by the 'aliens'.

Police contributed to the invasion by providing sirens and flashing blue lights to signify the landing of the craft just before morning classes.

WTF?

And then they're not allowed to do normal child things because of health and safety regulations.

Only in Britain.

The peak-to-trough part of the business cycle is an outlier. Carnot would have died laughing.

What's the problem? I presume that the aliens were screened to make sure they had no criminal records and so on.

My CRB check has been ongoing for 4months now with no end in sight. So those aliens must have been orbiting a looooong time getting their records from Betelguese
