Britain Just Spent Three Years Turning Tweets Into A Terror Case And Lost It In TWO HOURS!

Right, so Britain has just spent almost three years and a mountain of public money trying to transform three tweets from Tony Greenstein, a 72-year-old Jewish anti-Zionist from Brighton, into the Philosopher's Stone of terrorism convictions and all they produced for themselves was an even bigger mountain of embarrassment.Greenstein's supposed crime? He was accused of inviting support for Hamas, because of a few posts he made on 7 October 2023.His defence? He supported Palestinian resistance, not Hamas itself, though it is hard to expect the CPS to see the difference after three years spent poring over his blog.Apparently, national security in 2026 involves chasing after bloggers in their seventies while anyone truly dangerous is left to enjoy their scones and jam in peace. Especially those ones who don’t put the jam on first. Proper wrong’uns.But it failed. Oh how did it fail! Not just failed, this was failed on a scale that would get you booed off Britain's Got Talent, making a complete arse of itself in public, with absolutely nothing to show for it.Tony Greenstein was facing the possibility of 14 years in prison over it though. The CPS spent years polishing this turd of a case, trying to make it shiny, presumably hoping to dazzle the jury into blindly coming up with that sought after guilty verdict. The jury however, left distinctly unimpressed, took two hours and eleven minutes to toss the whole thing into the nearest skip.That is Tony Greenstein outside Kingston Crown Court after being unanimously found not guilty of inviting support for a proscribed organisation.That organisation being Hamas of course. The case focused on three posts Greenstein published on 7 October 2023. The prosecution argued they crossed the line from political speech into inviting others to support Hamas.Greenstein said they did not.The jury agreed the CPS had not proved its charge.Three years of investigation, prosecution, and legal theatrics, all for a verdict that landed faster than a Cabinet minister scrabbling around to avoid the truth on a Sunday-morning politics show.
