On a Sunday morning, the Essex police showed up at the home of Telegraph columnist Allison Pearson to interrogate her because she had tweeted a photo of Manchester police officers posing with the Islamist Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, some of whose leading members were recently charged with terrorism offenses.
Pearson’s crime, which resulted in the formation of a “gold group” normally used for dealing with major crimes, was tweeting “look at this lot smiling with the Jew haters” about the ugly photo.
The Essex police claimed that “a complaint of a possible criminal offence was made” of “potentially inciting racial hatred online”. Criticizing the friendliness of the police with Pakistani “Jew haters” had become a “possible criminal offence” while Islamists hating Jews was not.
According to the Essex police, “we police without fear or favour”. In truth, they appear to hardly police anything except speech. The Essex police have stopped answering calls about drug dealing and a Sun column noted that, “in the last year, Essex police have solved just 1 in 8 robberies and violent assaults, a mere 1 out of every 10 sexual assaults and 1 in 15 burglaries.”
Earlier this month, Sussex police arrested a 63-year-old Jewish man in front of his 12-year-old daughter for referring to Gabriel Kanter-Webber, a leftist activist claiming to be a ‘rabbi’ who signed a letter demanding an end to Israel’s campaign against Hamas, as a “kapo”.
Rupert Nathan, who was locked up by Sussex police for denouncing the anti-Israel activist on a private Facebook group, stated that “My daughter was in tears – completely inconsolable. Still now she has this deep fear that the police are going to take me away and put me in jail.”
Ian Christopher Austin, Baron Austin of Dudley, was told by West Midlands police that he had been investigated for a tweet describing Hamas as “a death cult of Islamist murderers and rapists”. Apparently the authorities considered the “Islamist” part to be offensive.
These are only a few of the more prominent recent examples of a police crackdown on even the mildest forms of criticism of Islamic terrorism and appeasement by the police and public figures.
These arrests and investigations come after Islamic terrorist supporters have rampaged around the streets of London, Manchester and other cities, waving the flags of illegal foreign terrorist organizations including that of Hamas with no actions or consequences. Instead an infamous viral video from last year showed London Metro police officers arresting a man for saying that he did not want to see ‘Palestinian’ flags all over the city.
British police officers have been filmed refusing to take action against terrorist supporters advocating violence, calling for the killing of Jews and expressing support for terror groups.
The authorities are not cracking down on hate speech or on the incitement to violence, but on politically incorrect speech and on journalists and elected officials whom the Left opposes.
Over the summer, the Starmer government issued a message on social media warning, “Think before you post.” It launched a ruthless suppression campaign, raiding homes, arresting and imprisoning people opposed to mass migration after a Muslim terrorist murdered 3 girls.
“Think before you post!” the Crown Prosecution Service threatened. “Remind those close to you to share responsibly or face the consequences.”
Bernadette Spofforth, a 55-year-old British woman, was dragged out of her home, arrested and held for 36 hours for posting that the murderer was a Muslim terrorist. The charge she was held under was “posting inaccurate information”. The actual inaccurate information was coming from the government which had lied about the terrorist’s religion and arrested those who spoke out.
The government’s reign of terror against critics of Islam and mass migration has dovetailed with a reign of terror by Islamists and their political allies who have held major cities hostage.
While the situation has worsened with the rise of the Starmer regime and Justice Minister Shabana Mahmood, who had her own history of ugly anti-Israel activism, it has become routine for police officers to pay such threatening house calls to people from all walks of life.
Even as crime rose 10% over the last year, thought-crimes are being pursued with added vigor.
Beyond intimidating opponents of Islamic terrorism, the police have also taken to threatening and intimidating women who are opposed to their privacy being violated by transgender men.
Julie Bindel, a feminist author critical of transgender identity politics, had the police show up during a family meal after a transgender man in the Netherlands reported one of her tweets.
Maya Forstater, whose case for women’s rights and against transgenderism became a cause celebre when it was embraced by Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, was investigated for 15 months over a tweet about a transgender doctor. In a Kafkaesque twist, the authorities initially refused to tell her what she was being investigated for, only that it involved a transgender person. Forstater was warned that she could be arrested if she did not cooperate.
Former MP Tom Hunt described being reported to the Suffolk police for writing diplomatically of the need to “confront the possibility that a disproportionate number of crimes are committed by individuals from certain communities”.
Many of these investigations are legally baseless and carried out in defiance of the actual law.
Back in 2021, the Merseyside police had put up billboards warning that “being offensive is an offence”. An infamous picture of one of those featured masked police officers threateningly posing in front of one such sign. The force admitted that being offensive is not actually a crime.
And yet investigations of people for offending Islamists, leftists and radical activists continue.
The purpose of these investigations is simply intimidation. Like the “being offensive is an offence” billboards and “think before you post”, the purpose is to silence those who speak out.
The UK has become a totalitarian state where free speech, not Islamic terror, is seen as the greatest threat. The rise of Islamic terror has been matched by police terror aimed at critics.
After Muslim terrorists attacked the Charlie Hebdo satire magazine over its Mohammed cartoons, anti-terror units in the UK visited newsstands to collect the names of those who had bought copies. Rather than collecting the lists of names of Muslim terrorists, the authorities were collecting lists of names of those who might be guilty of offending them. And that is true now.
British police forces have failed to act against Muslim mobs attacking Jews, but they have taken action against Jews who have been in the vicinity of those mobs. A London Met police officer warned a Jewish man near a Muslim pro-terror rally that he was “quite openly Jewish” and since “this is a pro-Palestinian march”, he might be guilty of causing a “breach of the peace.”
London Police Commissioner Mark Rowley defended the actions of the police.
Supporting Islamic terrorism is not a crime in the UK. Speaking out against it, falling victim to it or standing up against it is.
Trump is saving democracy in America . Out f–king standing ..lol
America is a Republic. No country on the planet is a democracy.
Wrong. America is both a democracy and a republic.
All he’s going to end up doing is getting himself put in jail..
Who? Orange man bad?! Its 2024 almost 2025. Maybe you’re a time traveler from the past horrible 4 years.
It obviously sucks to be British. I feel bad for Mo De Prophet for having to live there. It’s hard to believe a country could suck more than America or even China but Britain seems to be the world champion of suck.
I have to give Rupert Nathan credit, though. I have compassion for what he’s been subjected to but a 63 year old guy with a 12 years old daughter? He’s obviously still swinging that meat.
The deficiencies of the British legal system (though I don’t understand it 🙂
Excellent article, thanks Daniel !!!!!
Nobody understands it.
Two Tier Kier, leader of the Liebour Party was a human rights lawyer and is using his knowledge to remove the human rights of straight white men.
This is not just a Starmer or Labour Party issue the whole Orwellian “non-crime hate incident” was first enacted under the so-called Conservative Party government. This is a uni-party and a “woke” politicised College of Policing issue.
A non-crime hate incident is recorded where no criminal offence has been committed, but the person reporting it believes it was motivated by hostility

Here in the US “civil rights lawyer” which is a very popular career goal for college students on the political left, has a specific meaning. It refers to the rights of transgenders to play in women’s sports, get transgender surgeries and medications while in serving sentences in jail and for the release of minority criminals from jail and so forth. Also for suing the police as racists and throwing molotov cocktail bombs into police cars and getting off with a slap on the wrist (and a wink). .
The civil rights of the J6ers, or parents at school board meetings or anyone else does not count. It is far more difficult to find lawyers to help with those rights. So, the US has suppression and censorship but it is not as overt and bizarre as the UK’s at this point. Hopefully, it never will be.
You have a specific constitution and amendments, we have a vague something that has been trampled to death over the past 900 odd years. Lawyers and judges make stuff up as they go along, armies of civil servants are available to write whatever garbage they come up with, into law.
We are now living through demonstrations of why the constitution and particularly the Virgina faction and Henry’s demand for a bill of rights was so brilliant..
Unfortunately Britain does not have a 1st Amendment type right to free speech. Free speech has been increasingly under attack over issues the majority of the British public are against and as a consequence their voices need to be silenced by ever more draconian use of legal cudgels to smash dissent.
John Lydon for Prime Minister!
Siouxsie Sioux for Home Secretary!
The British have been allowing Muslims to rape their girls for twenty years. They are now trying to get the Muslims to switch to murdering Jews.
.Winston Churchill is an Israeli now.
John Bull is a Nazi.
Just be happy were no longer a British Subject otherwise the UK/Big Brother would jail us for speaking the truth against the UN/Globalists plans
I called the police a few years ago to report drug dealing locally, they responded with “What do you expect us to do about it?”
A friend had a trailer stolen and using CCTV footage and local contacts discovered who the thief was and called the police who responded with “What do you expect us to do about it?”
Yet during lockdown they were up and down every street several times a day looking for someone visiting a sick friend or family member.
The British police force has zero credibility.
I fail to understand why the police aren’t totally embarrassed by their actions Mo.
Soon a woman who is raped will require two male witnesses of the rape before police will make an arrest. SAD!
It is sad. We must remember the people in the UK are not the leaders and are suffering under the current leadership.
.But I never did understand how a police force functioned without carrying weapons. What’s to dissuade a criminal without police having a firearm? I guess at this point, it is better that they don’t. (I watch British police and detective TV shows so maybe I don’t know what I m talking about).
The population used to be so well-behaved that the police didn’t need to carry guns.
So the left imported a bunch of savages who are not so well behaved.
At least the police didn’t fire paintballs at anyone who dared venture out of their house, like the lunatic, Walz ordered the cops to do in Minneapolis. But who knows what the next Klimate lockdown will bring…
Well, your friend could have told the police he expected them to arrest the thief. Isn’t that what they are being paid to do? Doesn’t the majority of the public object to this state of affairs?
“Think before you post.”
So the Islamic Republic of the UK and their Islamic Republican Guard posing as cops, strike again against Bernadette Spofforth, a 55-year-old British woman who posted that the “murderer was a Muslim.”
That’s what we would have had if Kamala had been elected. Thought police with guns,
WTF is wrong with the Brits? It took 50 years to put down the Irish rebellion and it could still blow up at any time. Are you saying you can’t throw this Starmer bum out and restore UK independence and sanity?
The US needs to put sanctions on the UK and EU
Time for our Jewish people in Britain to make Aliyah to Israel before they no longer are able to do so.
As for this young girl, this father has a moral duty to get her out of this environment before she is targeted and gang raped by these animals!!
Here in the UK, is like living with the Cheka, ( the much-feared Bolshevik secret police, ) & Shariah enforcement,
( Blasphemy laws ) This is all too much, it is a living nightmare that has descended upon us.
This quote, sums the madness up perfectly.
“This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore.
A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong.
And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule of lies. With such a people, you can do whatever you want.”
– Hannah Arendt
(14 October 1906 – 4 December 1975) German historian and philosopher
My wife wants to visit Ireland.
That would be fun.
Yet i will not go. They would jail me for my unfiltered speech. No thanks.
UK. Enjoy your islamic invasion
I suggested she travel with her girlfriend.
I’ll enjoy my RED state USA where my voice is either ignored or understood.
Ireland is having elections in a few days, hopefully Independent Ireland makes some real waves.
Good point about not traveling to an area where unfiltered speech leads to jail.
I rarely leave familiar jurisdictions any more. I study how the laws are enforced locally (de facto, not just de jure) so I don’t get caught by surprise.
In the United Kingdom there are now a type of “thought police” who go after arrest as well as harass and persecute that critics of Islam and Muslim terrorism.
This the result of the insidious Islamic movement in the United Kingdom that is known as the “Stealth jihad.” The technique is practiced by Muslims who are also stealth jihadists to infiltrate the UK and subvert English Common law using lies and deception, Taqiyya, for the advancement of Islam with its Sharia.
This Muslim scheme for achieving the goal of the Islamic agenda is as, many times, as subtly effective as it is demonically clever. Furthermore, this Islamic gradualism, in some ways, is very similar to the instruction printed in the book entitled THE ART OF WAR by Sun Tzu. Which reads, “At first, then, exhibit the coyness of a maiden, until the enemy gives you an opening; afterwards emulate the rapidity of a running hare, and it will be too late for the enemy to oppose you.”
Islamophobia is fear of the Muslims. The police are outnumbered by them so they do not take action against them.
A military response is necessary when it comes to dealing with Muslims.
Quotes from The Art of War by Sun Tzu
“The whole secret lies in confusing the enemy, so that he cannot fathom our real intent.”
“The art of war is of vital importance to the State. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected.”
“Water shapes its course according to the nature of the ground over which it flows; the soldier works out his victory in relation to the foe whom he is facing.”
So there is much for us to learn in fighting Islam by knowing at what stage it has already gained foothold using multiculturalism for their benefit and to fight in such a manner that this enemy is ill prepared for the secretive onslaught of their destruction.
“UK Police crack down on critics of Islamic terror”. Critics are haram. Cream-puffs are halal.
The first character on the last list in the Bible of those headed for Hell is the ‘coward’, sometimes translated ‘fearful’. The Apocalypse 21:8, for we Protestants it is The Book of Revelation (same Greek word).
Great Britain is following Canada’s dhimmi example.
Trump needs to impose sanctions of some sort on the British government. We really should not be allied at all with this sort of tyrannical regime.
Britain has a long history of persecuting descent. The nation has rejected Christ. Their new god, mohammed, won’t be all warm and fuzzy.
At one time those Violent Islamics would have gotten the Headman’s Axe and no questions asked
The leftoxenomorphization-pisslamization of the UK is basically complete.
What a pity! Such a glorious past! And giving in to the leftoxenomorphs and the pisslim orcs. eurabia is practically gone.
“democracy”, “demokrazy”, “d卐m☭krazy” is a leftoxenomorph collectivist trap for humans.
It ALWAYS ends in ruin, misery, torture, murder and genocide.
The leftoxenomorph d卐m☭kratz are always very d卐m☭kratic until they make themselves with enough power to start tightening the screws to the non-leftoxenomorph population and putting their jack-boots on the necks of the formerly free humans.
Exactly the modus operandi of pisslims.
They begin to invade and behave passably.
Then the problems start.
More pisslims come in.
And they start exacting privileges and censorship and “muh respect for pisslam” and all their blah, blah, blah.
Terrorism, stabbings, bombings are all because not enough “respect” is being given to the “religion of piss”
And one day its sharia for everybody (gleichschaltung and kadavergehorsamkeit) or else and people lose their country.
Look at i-ran. They had it good. But then pisslam set in.
Same with leftoxenomorph d卐m☭kratz in AINO-Venezuerica.
d卐m☭krazy is bullshit.
The vote ought to be restricted to very few, very, very, very, select individuals.
And freedom be respected or else.
I come here to read about things that happen in uk because I never read a newspaper or watch the bile as I haven’t had a tv for 25 years.
I have called people Kapos on YouTube comments but don’t have any other social media or I know I’d be arrested. We truly live in a police state.
What can one expect of a government in which Muslims run the capital London, the BBC and the British judicial system? Very Tragic.
Lacking the spine to defend your nation, your neighbor, or yourself is clinically called “cowardice”. The first character demographic on the last list in the Bible of those headed for Hell is that of the ‘coward’. Rev.21:8.
They’ll die a thousand deaths and leave the reputation of shame.
qui tacet consentire videtur, which translates to “he who is silent appears to consent.”
Islam is like a wild rapacious animal. It must be kept in a cage and not allowed out. All Islamic immigration must be stopped to the West.
They are not deserving to live amongst civilized people. There are something dark, sinister and psychotic at the core of Islam.
Do not be silent. Speak out and save Western civilization. Together we shall be victorious against these invading barbarous monsters.
Hey UK. MY Yankee Tourism dollars are staying “across the pond.” My wife would like me to visit Ireland with her. I WILL NOT GO. She can travel with her GF.
I am NOT INTERESTED in being jailed for speaking about what is obvious to me, and the UK as a whole.
Enjoy your islamic hoards.
I’ll read about your tolerance.
There is a term for this: Fake Police. Who would have guessed that this would ramp up in Britain, but actually inklings of it began in the U.S. a couple decades ago when local authorities in various places began shutting down neighborhood kids’ lemonade stands, long a fixture of American suburbia, ostensibly for not bothering to comply with local ‘health codes’. Now the latest in the U.S. is that Tennessee police have developed a habit of charging drivers with legal intoxication even though their blood alcohol levels end up proving to not be above he legal limit, and also being overtly strict about submitting drivers to field sobriety tests, which can be rigged to be inaccurate, and ignoring demands by drivers to instead go right to breathalyzer or blood alcohol tests. Reportedly it is the right of drivers to demand such. ‘False’ results can still end up seriously marring drivers’ records and may result in licenses being revoked and/or not renewed. More and more, it seems, the badge confers nothing else than unchecked and unchallengeable power.
