The great-grandmother, who fled to Britain from East Germany following the Second World War, said youths in her neighbourhood had been making her life a misery.

She told the Daily Mail: “What justice is there? There are a group of youths who throw gravel at my window and use foul language against me.

“I saw one of them throw the stones against my window from my bedroom. I went out and found him hiding behind a wall. I poked my finger out at him and told him what I thought of him.

“Then the police arrested me – I thought ‘What a joke. What is going on?’.”

I would wish for those morons at the CPS to lose their jobs, but I fear they’d just move here and get jobs with the TSA.
