Pensioner arrested over 'thought crime' tweet as officers examine 'Brexity books and wife's shopping list'
Some exerts from the article:
A retired special constable has spoken out about free speech being under attack after he was detained over a social media post warning about anti-Semitism in Britain.
The officers arrived after Foulkes challenged a supporter of pro-Palestinian marches on X.
Foulkes had responded to a post from an account called "Mr Ethical" featuring a Palestinian flag, writing: "One step away from storming Heathrow looking for Jewish arrivals".
Without warning, the Metropolitan Police Intelligence Command had referred his post to Kent Police, citing "concerns around online content".
Foulkes was locked in a police cell for eight hours and questioned on suspicion of malicious communications.
