An update on something thatโs been happening over the past 12 months.
Somebody or some people threatened to kill my children. The offence would certainly carry a custodial sentence because it cited a weapon, vulnerable groups (children) and was done anonymously on social media. My family required 24/7 security and the kids even had someone walking to school with them. Thank you to GB News for all their support with that, weโre very grateful for all their help and concern.
Police located the account to an address in Tower Hamlets but after saying they were about to make arrests, they now say they wonโt pursue it because itโs potentially one of three individuals and they canโt pinpoint which one it was. How about you go round and ask them - and you know, investigate?
Police are happy enough to make 12,000 arrests each year for social media posts but when it comes to threatening to kill children of someone who speaks up for the country, itโs apparently not a big issue despite the gravity of the offence.
The problem that arises from this is people start beginning to lose trust in the institutions that are meant to protect them. The institutions we pay for. And when that trust erodes, itโs not good for society.
Ann Widdecombe was slaughtered only months ago and Iโm told on my own show by certain guests that words donโt kill people. Well, they do. And they have a huge impact on peopleโs lives.
Thank you again to GB News for all their support. They have been top class. Shame I canโt say the same about the police.
