Is the text in italics from an earlier version of the council's statement? The linked page seems to have language that is as supportive of the student's blog as is possible.

The story does have a revision date that's shortly after patio11's comment, so that seems quite likely.

The text of the original statement is here:

This is the version that patio11 is quoting.

After this, the shitstorm intensified, and the council leader appeared on Radio 4 to state that this would be reversed. Shortly after that, a version of the statement was put out that was pretty much the opposite of the original one.
