Police in the United Kingdom are now posting the home addresses of anti-immigration protesters on social media. On Friday, the force responsible for the Southport area where three young girls were stabbed to death, allegedly by a migration-background teenager, in July, shared footage of a 53-year-old protester being arrested as he deboarded a plane on Friday.
Merseyside Police also shared Thomas Whitehead’s name and street name on X (formerly Twitter), gloating that he had been “jailed for 20 months” on Thursday.
Whitehead pleaded guilty to throwing an object towards police in Southport after a vigil for the murdered girls turned riotous. Other anti-mass migration protesters have been jailed for “crimes” such as chanting “Who the f**k is Allah?” and shouting at a police dog.
The reason why the police shared Whitehead’s address is uncertain, but it leaves his family in considerable danger.
Muslim counter-demonstrators—who, unlike the anti-immigration demonstrators, have largely been given free rein by the police—have attacked white people at random in the streets in recent weeks, believing they could be “far-right.”
Comcast’s Sky News also reports that “Asian gangs”—of Pakistani and Bangladeshi heritage—are plotting to attack anti-immigration demonstrators in prison.
