BBC News Text :
[The Daily Telegraph says one of its writers is facing a “Kafkaesque” hate crime inquiry over a year-old social media post. Columnist Allison Pearson says two officers came to her home on Sunday to tell her about the investigation, but were unable to say which post it concerned or who had made the complaint. The paper says that this time last year Pearson was posting a lot about the 7 October attacks on Israel and the subsequent pro-Palestinian protests in London. Essex Police tells it the investigation relates to a now-deleted post and was opened under laws prohibiting material "likely or intended to cause racial hatred".] ![]() Essex Police Opened a case on the Public Order Act 1986 Legit Journalist. I do hope she goes on GMBHD itv today to tell us what the Police do not like about an old tweet............... Something stinks here Last edited by arista; 13-11-2024 at 01:36 AM. |

Kafkaesque is right. Free speech is dead. It'll be thought crime next, prison for thinking hurty things.

i don't think there is any time limitation regarding hate speech, so it wouldn't matter if it were 1 year or 10 years. However, you can only be tried based on the laws that existed at the time of the supposed offence and if, as is likely, there are thousands of examples where people wrote similar but were not prosecuted, there will be trouble

I have to point once again to the pro Palestine marches and ponder why hate speech doesn't appear to apply to those marchers carrying hateful signs and chanting hateful things.

[The Daily Telegraph says Essex Police has been
accused of attacking free speech after launching an investigation into one of its columnists, Allison Pearson, for allegedly stirring up racial hatred in a social media post last year. Pearson has said two officers visited her to tell her about the investigation on Sunday, but they would not say which post it concerned or who had made the complaint. Former prime minister Boris Johnson is quoted calling the behaviour of the police "appalling", while shadow home secretary Chris Philp says he is "deeply concerned this will have a chilling effect on free speech and free expression".] ![]() |

I don't agree with investigating non-crimes, they're non-crimes for a reason.
Having said that, what did Alison Pearson actually tweet? Because I don't know what I should think if I can't even see what her tweet was.

No she asked them when they visited her home what the tweet was as it was from a year ago and they responded that they personally didn't know
