Good. Dave Paulden is a massive twat but a poor-taste joke tee shirt shouldn’t be a matter for the police.

Probably sensible enough to send Polanski home with his mum after a warning.

If they had balls they’d charge Farage with wasting police time for reporting it.

Do we all agree that the French Revolution was correct? We are in an interesting time where suggesting or alluding to this type of *revolution* is not good

You don’t say…
Almost like it was a total waste of police time, drama-queen move from Farage.
Reform just dying to be the victim of oppression.

Remind me, when one of Farages Councillors posted he’d to shoot the PM last year, did he report that to the police? Did we get a conveyor belt of outraged talking heads pouring crocodile over the injustice? Honestly can’t seem to place it….

I really wanted to like Polanski when he took over. I really wanted a strong Green voice in politics but the guy seems to just keep falling over himself at every turn.

There’s no specific crime of ‘incitement to murder’ in the UK. Here’s the legislation on incitement more generally:
“A person commits an offence if he does an act capable of encouraging or assisting the commission of an offence; and he believes that the offence will be committed; and that his act will encourage or assist its commission”
It seems pretty clear cut that no crime has been committed.

Polanski offers to debate Farage one on one.
Farage reports Polanski to the police for a social media post.
What a wet blanket.

To no one’s surprise.
I said this when the news first broke that the short was suitably ambiguous enough to have plausible deniability and that Polanski not getting charged is probably the outcome Reform intended because they get to milk the accusations of two tier policing even more by reminding us about Lucy Connelly (who should have pled not guilty and likely also would have gotten off).

This is why Farage didn’t report that his phone was hacked by Russians and his private information stolen and leaked, or that one of his cars was vandalised and destroyed. The establishment has no interest in prosecuting crimes of which he is the victim.

Being naive is not a crime…now let’s talk about Farage’s crimes

It’s the leader of a significant political party, in this country, essentially promoting…that.
Not a lot, now, separating him, and by extension the Veggies, from the far-right psycho lot.
So many on this r/ want to appear virgin white and instead stuff like this just clarifies how compromised (ethically) they are.

Well duh. The bots did their best but this was a nothingburger. 1000 people had seen the post before Farage made it the news of the day.

Good as it’s wasting police time to push a two tier agenda for another set of farage riots to cover up his lawbreaking.
Proper Meltdown by deform…what about our Lucy, so soon after we lost Annie, what if it’s the other way around?

In no universe should it have been a police matter. Should absolutely be called out for doing it, and the lack of an apology because it was an accident is nuts, but what a waste of police time

Notice how they’ve misspelled his name in the article title, the web address, and the first paragraph, but correctly throughout the rest of the article?
Been learning their trade from Dominic Cummings, clearly.
