Israel Matzav: British police harass pro-Israel blogger

British police harass pro-Israel blogger

Melanie Philips reports that the British police (not the ones pictured) have been harassing a pro-Israel blogger for outing an anti-Semitic church vicar.

As reported here, two months ago the Seismic Shock blogger received a ‘friendly’ visit by two police officers who explained that Sizer and McRoy had

objected to being associated with terrorists and Holocaust deniers

on his blog. As a result, Seismic Shock was persuaded to delete his original blog site in its entirety while retaining his current website:

The policeman related to me that his police force had been in contact with the ICT department my previous place of study, and had looked through my files, and that the head of ICT at my university would like to remind me that I should not be using university property in order to associate individuals with terrorists and Holocaust deniers (I am sure other people use university property to make political comments, but never mind).

Under what legal authority did the police come and feel Seismic Shock’s collar like this? What was the criminal offence he was suspected of committing? Under what authority did they require him to delete his previous blog?

Read the whole thing.

Those of you in England: Have you started packing yet?
