Arrest after Jo Cox Twitter threat to MP Anna Soubry

by Irn Bru Mon Dec 05, 2016 12:57 am

A suspect is held on suspicion of sending malicious communications after allegedly targeting MP Anna Soubry.

A man has been arrested after an allegedly threatening Twitter post that called for people to "Jo Cox" an MP.

The 25-year-old man was held after Anna Soubry, the MP for Broxtowe in Nottinghamshire, was the apparent target of an online message.

The message read: "someone jo cox Anna sourby please."

The politician called the Twitter user a "sad cowardly troll", noting the differently spelled surname.

Nottinghamshire Police later confirmed they were investigating the incident.

Calling or suggesting that people should be killed either on Twitter or any social media site is disgusting and should be condemned on every level.. It's just pure hate.

If this was done then the person responsible should be banged up for a very long time.

agreed...

people like this should NOT be allowed in society...

That's just awful! The "cowards behind keyboards" is just growing beyond belief.

by Andy Mon Dec 05, 2016 5:15 pm

The sad thing is that many of us know people from elsewhere who actually support posts like that.

by magica Mon Dec 05, 2016 5:19 pm

Keyboard warriors spring to mind, imo keyboard idiots. Glad he was arrested, to threaten anyone is an offence and should be dealt with as such.

by Syl Mon Dec 05, 2016 6:42 pm

Internet trolls and bullies are the modern scourge on society.

I believe more should be done to trace them and punish them.
So many people think they are invincible spouting threats in the safety of their own home.

Some interesting comments on this hate tweet calling for the killing of people. So what do you think of this one?

No wonder Major et al feel so at home on his site.

I do hope that was the only tweet like that?

Lets hope so as calling for people to be killed is more likely to get someone arrested as shown in the case detailed in the OP.

The comments already expressed on that one also apply in this case as well, surely?

Amazing how all those Flap supporters who claim he's a decent bloke are avoiding this like the plague.

I'd have to see the actual comment in context. Any link?

by Guest Sat Dec 10, 2016 6:03 pm

Context? What the fuck are you talking about. It's a tweet, expressing the same sentiment as the man who has just been put in prison tweeted. Tweets aren't 'in context'.

You don't get links to tweets, you look at his timeline. Just look up @In_A_Flap and run through his time line.

If you can't provide a link, how does anyone know if the screengrab is genuine? I thought there was a rule against this sort of thing.

When on a timeline right click at the top the individual tweet (@blahblah) and select "Copy link address" Wink

I'm glad someone posted a link because it appears to be a tweet from several weeks ago. It would have been like looking for a needle in a haystack.

by Guest Sat Dec 10, 2016 6:22 pm

Doesn't matter when it's from, it's expressing the same thing as was expressed by the man who has now been jailed for it.

So?

I can't find the tweet on the timeline. I never did understand Twitter.

by Guest Sat Dec 10, 2016 6:26 pm

Jeez, you have a copy of it above, what Grand Tour says and what he says, and the time and date. 4:43 am - 20 Nov 2016
