Default Political Journalist Alison Pearson had the Police visit her over a Tweet a year ago?

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

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.

She probably called a transwoman a man, or something...

She was outspoken against gender self ID. She's been outspoken against Islamic terrorism in the UK and against anti-Semitic attacks and unrestrained pro-Palestine marches calling for Jihad and the annihilation of Jews. I'm pretty she is Jewish, which is insulting to some in itself.

I'm going to reserve judgement for now, because I need to know what she's exactly said.

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
