CENSORSHIP KINGDOM: Retired Constable to Sue UK Police After Arrest Over a Social Media Post Denouncing Anti-Semitism

The United Kingdom continues its decent into authoritarianism and censorship of social media content.
Now, a retired constable is getting ready to sue Kent Police after being arrested back in 2023 for posting a social media reply warning about rising anti-Semitism.
The Telegraph reported:
“Julian Foulkes, from Gillingham in Kent, was handcuffed at his home by six officers from the force he had served for a decade after replying to a pro-Palestinian activist on X.
The 71-year-old was detained for eight hours, interrogated and ultimately issued with a caution after officers visited his home on November 2 2023.”
The case of Julian Foulkes sounds like a joke, but it exposes something shocking. The UK police need to be reformed, urgently.

Last week, Kent Police sent out a statement saying that the caution was a mistake and has been deleted from Foulkes’s record.
The local law enforcement agency admitted that it was ‘not appropriate in the circumstances and should not have been issued’.
“On Sunday, Mr. Foulkes accepted an offer from the Free Speech Union (FSU) to fund a legal challenge against the force for wrongful arrest and detention.
‘The FSU and Lord [Toby] Young have generously agreed to fully fund a lawsuit against Kent Police’, he said. ‘I’m extremely grateful for such excellent support and would urge anyone concerned about the sustained attack on free speech to please join the FSU. They’re fighting hard every day for all of us’.”

The Chief Constable phoned Foulkes yesterday (12) to offer a ‘personal apology’ for the ordeal’ and to tell him the incident would be ‘thoroughly’ investigated.
“Though he had committed no offence, he accepted the caution in a state of shock, fearing that any further escalation could affect his ability to visit his surviving daughter in Australia. ‘I didn’t agree, but I felt I had no choice’, he said. ‘In hindsight, it would never have gone to court. The CPS wouldn’t touch it with no evidence. But I wasn’t thinking logically at the time’.”
Foulkes was left with ‘post-traumatic stress-type’ symptoms.
“’It’s like PTSD. You push it to the back of your mind, but it comes back and you relive it’, he said.”
The police haven’t just been arresting citizens over memes—they’ve gone after their own former officers.
You probably didn’t hear about this case, but in November 2023, Kent Police arrested retired special constable Julian Foulkes.
His so-called crime?
