Agree, just like they rightfully arrested Chris Packham for inciting climate terrorism.



oh.

[dundarach]

5 armed police, why 5?

What a complete waste of resources, whoever signed that off wants dismissing.

[loudlashadjuster]

Just the latest in his ongoing series of 'f*** around and find out' moments.

Nothing to see.

And yet Kwis ttham's house remains unraided.

[JuanCarlosFandango]

And did they find anything?

[rscott]

Presumably they had a search warrant - if so, he'd know why they raided him...

Not only encouraged them, but also said he was going to join them in committing criminal damage. Even said he was happy to be arrested.

In the interview, Fox told host Maajid Nawaz: “I encourage them to tear down every single camera there is.

“I will be joining them to tear down cameras as well. Because I’m one of those people who puts my money where my mouth is.

“I will be out there with an angle grinder.”

He added: “I would be happy to be arrested myself.”

[Chainsaw Rebuild]

Totally deserved to get arrested, influencers and the like need to realise they cant just do anything they like and post it online, assuming they will magically get away with it because influencer.

[bitchstewie]

Sacked from GB News too.

Quite the day.

He seems strangely unaware that inciting people to commit crime can lead to having your own collar felt.

I dislike Fox ( IMHO think he needs some help actually) but in a time where police resources are apparently so stretched they cant/won't attend many crimes, sending any, let alone at least 3 officers to his gaff about this is a ridiculous waste of police recourses. Not to mention insulting to the public.

Boys in blue without a clue.

So basically he's been arrested for being a complete moron and arsewipe.

is that really where things are? Is it now illegal to be a complete moron. tosser, cretin and publicity-seeking arsewipe?

I despair of this once-great nation, i really do.......

None of those things are illegal - incitement and conspiracy to commit criminal damage *are* however. Doing so in public is where "moron. tosser, cretin and publicity-seeking arsewipe" bit comes in.

As I said in the other thread.

When you say in public that you're going to commit a crime and invite the police to come and get you, you can't be surprised when they do.

The textbook definition of fk around and find out.
