The crime of posting inaccurate information online only applies to right-wing people in a sickening example of Britain's new two-tier state.
Here is the most obvious example yet of Kier Starmer's policing policy: Two near identical posts, one is a criminal offence and gets the full force of the law, the other gets completely ignored and is still online.
A Chester woman arrested for posting inaccurate information online about the religion of the Southport attacker vs the CEO of Hope Not Hate who posted a made up story about an Acid Attack on a Muslim woman by the Far Right.
Tier One:
A 55 year old woman from Chester has been arrested by police for posting information on facebook about the Southport Murders that proved later to be false.
The woman was arrested on Thursday on suspicion of 'publishing written material to stir up racial hatred and false communications'. She is being held in custody by Cheshire police.
Ch Supt Alison Ross said: “We have all seen the violent disorder that has taken place across the UK over the past week, much of which has been fuelled by malicious and inaccurate communications online.
“It’s a stark reminder of the dangers of posting information on social media platforms without checking the accuracy. It also acts as a warning that we are all accountable for our actions, whether that be online or in person.”
Tier Two:
In stark contrast Nick Lowles, the CEO of 'Hope Not Hate' , posted a fake story about an 'acid attack' on a Muslim woman by the 'far right' and remains very much a free man.
In the tweet, which is still visible on 'X' Lowles falsely posted:
"Reports are coming in of acid being thrown out of a car window at a Muslim woman in Middlesbrough. Absolutely horrendous."
There were no such reports, the story false, made up by Lowles or others on the far-left, with the specific intent of stirring up trouble. However, the tweet, which was almost identical to the woman's facebook post and seen by Cheshire Police, was treated entirely differently.
Lowles false tweet about acid-attacks that never happened was spread on social media and triggered a large mob of Muslims to take to the streets seeking revenge.
Unlike the Cheshire woman, Lowles suffered no consequences from his actions.
He wasn't arrested, wasn't cautioned and wasn't even visited by police, the Tweet merely got a helpful correction by them, in a statement police said:
We are aware of commentary online regarding alleged acid attacks in Middlesbrough today.
Cleveland Police has not, to date, received any formal complaint from any victim or anyone on their behalf.
We did receive limited information from a third party earlier this evening regarding a possible incident in central Middlesbrough, The caller was unfortunately unable to provide exact details of the location, nature of the incident, registration number of any vehicle, or description of any occupants, nevertheless officers did attend the area - with nothing being found and no victim coming forward.
The force has not received notification from medical colleagues of any such incident either therefore our log has been closed, pending receipt of any new information. If anyone believes they or someone they know has been subject to such an incident, we would urge them to contact Cleveland Police and to seek urgent medical attention.
