We have seen one arrest for false information posted on social media. Leading to riots.
We have seen violence since the false post about sending rioters to the Falklands.
So no criminal action is very much a questionable statement. That post can definitely be seen as attempting to incite further violence. And just like the women claiming the Southport murders were done by asylum seekers. The intent is down to CPS, followed by a court to decide. An arrest is defiantly warranted.
Was the person arrested a billionaire by any chance?
Laws like that don’t apply to oligarchs.
Nope. More to the point she was in the UK.
But the thread I responded to was not about how likely it was.
But responding to weather the UK legal stucture considered his actions an offence.
So my amswer was based entirly on that.
Currently parliment dose not have to do anything. The UK police and CPS already have grounds to issue a warrent if he enters the UK.
But yiu are correct. It is unlikely to happen.
