Pearson's crime, for which Essex police formed
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 column in
the daily Sun 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, Rupert Nathan, 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."
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 consequences. Instead,
an infamous viral video from last year showed London 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 murder
of Jews and expressing support for terror groups.
The authorities are not cracking down on hate speech or on 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.
