There's 2 things really. First, nobody should be jailed purely as a prisoner of conscience, even people with abhorrent views. It's not wrong for the government to urge the release of such prisoners. Second, the UK government, of all flavours, should have done some due diligence to ensure they didn't look ridiculous by celebrating the release of a man who calls for violence and, having arrested others for less, leaving themselves with the problem of looking like there's a two tier system.

I see he's got his apology out pretty sharpish though so he probably won't be getting prosecuted. There might a polite police visit and a statement about the tweets being youthful, historic indiscretions.

Interesting that Reform's letter omits mention of their friends in the DUP who supported this man's return

Who did the research for these tweets. Were they known but sat on waiting to trip Starmer when he said he was delighted about the release. Or did someone go digging after and just found them?

This is the part of the story I find interesting.

It's funny that the fascists are getting hysterical over Mr El Fatah's return to the UK. Presumably they've changed their minds over Lucy Connelly's conviction and sentence.
