Southport | 9 year old girl confirmed as third victim

Then it’s wrong

Maybe she misspoke and it was corrected in the minutes. It's semantics. If someone says that someone is originally from somewhere it usually means they grew up there.

Fucking scandalous if so... Somebody needs sacking if that's the case

Why would anyone need sacking if both words are true? Seems a simple case of clarification.

Will she not be reading from a prepared statement? I doubt the press office is transcribing it as she speaks

I’d say the written press release if wrong will be changed promptly and the member of staff who released it will be severely admonished

It is slightly odd that she clearly says ‘from’ in the live press conference but the Merseyside police website with speech marks says ‘born’..or it’s just my OCD seeing the potential issue there…

To be honest, the state of public service written communications has gone completely down the drain in recent years. Although with something as important as this you'd think it would have been checked thoroughly before release.
Which leaves the suggestion that the spokeswoman got it wrong, which is just as bad

Yeah, it would’ve been written for her-maybe she misspoke

Handcuff the twat to a lamppost in Southport and let the parents know where

She sounded stressed-it’s a career defining job obviously, the pressure on her tremendous, and rightly so.

I can't believe that there are children dead and fighting for life yet posters have a bee in their bonnet about the wording of a statement.
Why do these horrible events turn into a dick measuring contest between folk?

Fuckin grow up.

You beat me to it mate.
Was just about to post the same ( but probably with alot more expletives)

Meh struggling to see what the issue is to be honest. Originally from or born in is much the same although one adds a smidgen of clarity.
