Head of the Met Police Sir Mark Rowley has warned that “keyboard warriors” could be hit with terrorism charges for inciting riots online, even if they are living abroad.
Rowley made the comments in response to waves of rioting that unfolded across the UK following the murder of three young girls at a Taylor Swift dance class in Southport by a 17-year-old of Rwandan migrant origin via his parents.
Asserting that the “full force of the law” would be used against offenders, Rowley made it clear that this included not just people physically involved in the riots, but those who make inflammatory comments about them on social media.
“And whether you’re in this country committing crimes on the streets or committing crimes from further afield online, we will come after you,” Rowley threatened.
A Sky News reporter than mentioned Elon Musk as a ‘high profile figure’ who was “whipping up hatred,” when in fact Musk merely asked Prime Minister Keir Starmer, “Why aren’t all communities protected in Britain?”.
“What are you considering when it comes to dealing with people who are whipping up from behind a keyboard and maybe is in a different country,” the reporter asked Rowley.
“Being a keyboard warrior does not make you safe from the law, you can be guilty of offences of incitement, of stirring up racial hatred, there are numerous terrorist offences regarding the publishing of material, all of those offences are in play if people are provoking hatred and violence on the streets and we will come after those individuals just as we will physically confront on the streets the thugs and the yobs who are causing the problems for communities,” said Rowley.
As we highlighted yesterday, authorities have warned Brits that merely retweeting information about the riots could lead to criminal charges.
Stephen Parkinson, the Director of Public Prosecutions, told Sky News that people do not even need to personally post the content themselves to be deemed to be committing an offence.
Parkinson said social media users could be guilty of “incitement to racial hatred” if they post “insulting or abusive” content that is “likely to stir up racial hatred.”

Truth is a criminal offense. Disagreeing with the government narrative is terrorism. Anyone discovered to be involved in either will be hunted down and no national boundaries will protect them.
Sounds a lot like tyranny doesn’t it?
SO, these are the fascist threats we Americans get for saving the Slimey-Limeys from Naziism in WW2. It sounds like the American Revolution isn’t over after all. We just need to get around a few American Redcoat communist PIGS of our own. F U

And if you are smart, you will believe them. And think very carefully before you post any tweet.
I know you are young and lived most of your adult life under Tory government, so it might be hard for you to believe how much things can change under a different government. Especially because the last time things were this level of hot in Britain was in the 70s, and you really don’t remember that, and any memories of Blair don’t really apply.
What we are seeing right now is something I have been expecting for 20 years now. I have a fairly clear notion of where things are going. You obviously don’t.
You should have taken climate change and depletion of oil and gas much, much more seriously. Now it’s probably too late for you to correct course. But it’s never too late to realise that you look much more handsome when you keep your mouth shut.
Your advice is to capitulate to thugs. I’ll pass. And, by the way, “climate change” is an obvious hoax, and there’s plenty more oil and gas to acquire and burn.
“you look much more handsome when you keep your mouth shut.”
My goal in life is not to figure out how to maximize how handsome I look. Is it yours? As opposed to, say, little things like pushing back against evil.
Someone please provide an email address for Rowley so I can tell him how much his threats mean to me.
Utter wanks couldn’t catch a cold
The way Mark Rowley talks, you’d think it was white Britons invading and taking over the country from indigenous Moslems and blacks. Just another example of bought-off white authority figures turning truth on its head in a most traitorous way.
What did you say was the address and phone number of this two-tier communist?
Social media distancing?
The rebirth is everything I thought it would be, bloody and painful
The commies are censorious lot.
