Police swoop on United fan's 'offensive' City car sticker

‘It’s only a laugh,’ says Sarah’s City-supporting husband Graham
A United fan fell foul of the police after putting an ‘offensive’ sticker on her car which poked fun at City.
Sarah Webb-Lee’s cheeky sign said: ‘On the first day God created United – then completely ****** up and created City’.
But after a Blues fan complained to police, officers called at her home in Stockport and warned her she would be hauled before the courts unless she removed the jibe from the window of her Vauxhall Corsa.
Sarah, 39, said: "It’s just a bit of banter and you hear worse on the terraces. I see lots of things about United and take it on the chin." After scrubbing out one of the letters from the offending word, police agreed to take no further action.
Police inspector Stephen Gilbertson said: "It was something I would term offensive. It was pointed out to the person if they did not do something with the sticker they would be reported for a public order offence. It is dealing with everything in proportion. Someone could see it as offensive but I am happy with the action we have taken."
Sarah – whose City-supporting husband happily drives the car – branded the saga a waste of taxpayers’ money.
"I couldn’t believe it when the police turned up," she said.
"It was just a bit of a laugh. We don’t have many rights left but freedom of speech is worth hanging on to. I won't take it down."
Sarah’s husband, Graham, 40, said: "It’s ridiculous. I drive round in it and I’ve had United fans laugh and ask me where I got it from – they’re shocked when I tell them I’m a City fan. It doesn’t bother me – it’s only a laugh."
