| CENSORSHIP KINGDOM: Retired Constable to Sue UK Police After Arrest Over a Social Media Post Denouncing Anti-Semitism |
| 2025-05-12 |
| [GatewayPundit] The United Kingdom continues its decent into authoritarianism and censorship of social media content. Now, a retired constable is getting ready to sue Kent Police after being arrested back in 2023 for posting a social media reply warning about rising anti-Semitism. The Telegraph reported: "Julian Foulkes, from Gillingham in Kent, was handcuffed at his home by six officers from the force he had served for a decade after replying to a pro-Palestinian activist on X. The 71-year-old was detained for eight hours, interrogated and ultimately issued with a caution after officers visited his home on November 2 2023." Last week, Kent Police sent out a statement saying that the caution was a mistake and has been deleted from Foulkes’s record. The local law enforcement agency admitted that it was ’not appropriate in the circumstances and should not have been issued’. "On Sunday, Mr. Foulkes accepted an offer from the Free Speech Union (FSU) to fund a legal challenge against the force for wrongful arrest and detention. ’The FSU and Lord [Toby] Young have generously agreed to fully fund a lawsuit against Kent Police’, he said. ’I’m extremely grateful for such excellent support and would urge anyone concerned about the sustained attack on free speech to please join the FSU. They’re fighting hard every day for all of us’." |
