This doesn't seem right when all sorts of other activities are allowed.

Not being funny but there is no evidence over what she posted, or how many messages she posted On this video. The video would be more in context and understanding if they showed ‘ why ‘ this action was taken. My cousin has been banned on Facebook many times for things he says, usually for a month each time, to date he has never had a visit from the police and he is quite vocal.

This video has more information, including from a former Met police detective.

The woman asked when a certain politician would resign. Someone (they think it was the bigwig) complained about her post.

He gives a better prospective as he explains what she said, which honestly didn’t warrant the action taken. The first video leaves it open ,in other words it may have been that she harassed the MP to the point where she crossed a line. I think it’s interesting that this is put down to the police, rather than freedom of speech laws. The police just look stupid, like with the case of the mug shot of the Muslim lady.
