  That’s quite common phrasing for UK newspapers.

    I think they know “missile” sounds more ominous than “plastic bottle.”

      “plastic bottle.”

      The protesters threw many by different types of objects. The word that is typically used for that category of objects is “missile”.

      Also, not sure why you put your phrase in quotes.
