In today’s episode of “Britain, Where Free Speech Goes to Die”: A 15 year old Reform UK supporter named Fraser was woken in his bed at 8.30 in the morning by four West Midlands Police officers who brushed past his mother and raced upstairs. He had spent the previous day campaigning for Nigel Farage in Clacton. Officers searched him in the street in front of neighbours, took him to the station, locked him in a cell, removed his shoes, took his DNA, fingerprints and mugshot, and searched his bedroom and devices. His alleged crime was a handful of Facebook posts about Conservative councillor Simon Bennett. He criticised the councillor for turning up to a meeting in shorts, a T shirt and trainers. When Bennett later wore a suit, Fraser wrote that "at least he was not looking like a rent boy". He also posted an AI generated image of Bennett with rabbit ears and a caption mocking the local Conservatives. Police told his lawyers the comments could amount to a hate crime. Two months later he has still not been charged. What a sad state of affairs..
