In that case why wouldn't they wait until more evidence became available before arresting him?

We can only speculate on what they were told but there must have been a reason.

My point still stands, it was about protecting girls toilets not inciting violence. Police saw no case and that is what matters.

Your second sentence is correct but not your first. This was about the police investigating. Until they did that the first didn’t exist.

That's alright then. Proper use of limited resources.

My friend was nearly run over by a car going the wrong way up a one way street. She reported it to the police who did not even investigate. They told her unless she had video evidence there was insufficient data to open an investigation. She pointed out that this happened at traffic lights in the high street so there was bound to be traffic cameras at the very least one of the shops would have CCTV. They couldn't care less.

But apparently hurty words gets the blue lights flashing.

Unfortunately this happens when there is a lack of resources, competing demands and unclear guidance. Whatever priorities are determined someone will disagree, get upset and suggest they and their kind are being ignored.

If your friend had actually been hurt then the police would have investigated. If the driver consistently flouted traffic regulations then, with number plate recognition technology, I would expect the system to pick it up. As it stood this was a one off incident, involving no actual harm.

Hurty words don’t get investigated. The right get upset when potentially illegal acts are. Insults are not illegal. Racism, incitement to violence etc are.

I trust so. Obviously you know better. Or think you do.

Maintain that opinion when they knock on your door after Tommy Robinson complains about on-line criticism. After all if one person reporting a post is enough to warrant police intervention so is another's.

Police investigated found no incitement, just a push for girls toilet safety. My point holds 👍🏻

Charlie kirks funeral today. Since the assassination and murder the right have prayed, mourned, went to vigils and went to church.

Whereas the left tried to take the blame so that the real shooter could escape, celebrated the death of Charlie Kirk, vandalised memorials, lied about left wing terrorism (getting his show the Jimmy Kimmel show cancelled) a bomb put outside fox studios with the suspects having anti trump posters at their home, booed a minutes silence for Charlie Kirk, tried to rationalise the shooting.....and this is also just in a week and I'm sure there is plenty more. Maybe we can get a list going?

Only fools try to hold onto imaginary points.

It’s the definition of a pointless exercise.

I suspect that the police do an initial assessment of the possibility of the complaint having validity. That would be coloured by either the complainant or who is complained about having any previous. I don’t. Yaxley-Lennon and Lineham both do.

So I am in no fear of door knocks. I welcome my visitors. Right now they are bringing cards and flowers!

Looks like you are the one with imaginary points. The police investigated and found no incitement. Just one man who was concerned for girls in toilets.

That's grand except your suspicions don't have any legal validity. Do the police look at these complaints and conclude "fair enough. He's got a point"?
If so the contention that there is no two tier approach is well and truly blown away.

Peaceful prayer when a conservative dies.

Riots and city burning when a criminal drug overdoses tho.

I see reports of protests outside the funeral. Protest at a funeral! And that's the left in a nutshell.

The fact that the police investigated is the point. What they subsequently decided isn’t.

No, they look at the evidence and of the probability of the CPS being willing to prosecute. Hearsay evidence, without anything else, would not reach the threshold and my guess is that’s why no further action was taken. They investigated, because of who was involved and the history, and it went no further.

But they still arrested him. Why should it be any different following a complaint from Tommy Robinson?

The police investigated and found no incitement. Seems after investigation they agreed with my assessment and everyone else's that it was just one man who was concerned for girls in toilets.

Peaceful prayer is done quietly. Away from the media, the glare of TV cameras and political speeches. Generally at home and not in huge stadiums.

This wasn’t peaceful prayer. This was a political event which exploited the personal tragedy of a man who held controversial views. It was noisy, staged and completely contrived. I feel sorry for the bereaved who were dragged into this. It’s more evidence of just how sick the political right in the USA have become.

I explained that a few posts ago.

Funny how you and the left call a memorial political but riots for a criminal are just "protests."
Selective outrage much?

Your hypocrisy shines brighter than any stadium light 👍🏻
