Whatever they picked him up on, and whatever he was arrested under suspicion of, the police immediately can start search his stuff. And then use that to apply for wider searches. It escalates.

And Aberdeen University will have co-operated.

That's where his problem lies.

Not the brightest bulb in life's marquee, is he?

Pickledonion1999 · 16/07/2026 19:00

Good to hear. What a nasty piece of work.

Theeyeballsinthesky · 16/07/2026 18:59

The free speech union have posted on x offering to defend him if he joins

It means he had his penis turned inside out to make a sort of pseudo 'vagina'.

I've put vagina in inverted commas because obviously its just a hole that needs regular dilation to stay open rather than the wondrous and lovely thing a real vagina is.

It has no controlable musculature, no self cleaning or lubricating, no clitoris encompassing it etc. I imagine it's a bit mediocre compared to the real thing.

And apparently they stink like an unclean bellybutton if you don’t clean it out properly as it has no natural lubrication. 🤮

As much as I like the thought that this vile man has been charged I don't believe that his disgusting tweet is a criminal matter.

I agree with this. I rather suspect Ann Widdecombe would have done too.

Triskellion75 · 16/07/2026 18:43

It's just too delicious. These arseholes think they're untouchable and it's about time they realised they're bloody not.

PandorasMailbox · 16/07/2026 18:39

Hopefully, the Herbert situation will give the University of Aberdeen some thought, although, going by how captured they are, it might take a while to filter through.

I doubt HH is some terrorist mastermind. He is a moron though. And these men have been getting away with making threats for too long, so it is good to see this come back to bite them

I doubt HH is some terrorist mastermind. He is a moron though.

I suspect there's a lot of manipulation goes on within the polycule. Some of it is probably quite obvious to anyone who sees or hears what is put in the public domain but I strongly suspect there will be stuff that goes on that is not for public consumption. But the message will still get out there. Somehow.

I really hope the police have checked the hard drives and phones of anyone in his home.

I don't think he should of been arrested for those posts as nasty as they were, it was not criminal, but it is an excellent opportunity to gather possible criminal evidence.

I don’t think what he did should be illegal either but there is a lovely irony of him suffering from the same batshittery of Scottish justice that he undoubtedly revelled in when it was aimed at women who won’t go along with his nonsense. I would put money on him having submitted police reports that would have involved SM posts that are much tamer than his were.

Good. I think more people are getting fed up with the pandering to "trans" (mostly men with a fetish or young people either attention seeking or trying to fit in somewhere) and trans activists. The pendulum swung too far left in general and I feel like it's swinging back a bit.

SabrinaThwaite · 16/07/2026 18:28

Herbert has made the R4 six o’clock news.

Munchyseeds2 · 16/07/2026 18:28

Good
Vile man!

Æthelred · 16/07/2026 18:23

Speaking ill of the dead should never be a crime. Even though this man would want you locked up for calling him a him, the police shouldn't be interested in this. If he used a work computer to make these remarks he should be fired.

Though the ‘Transwo’ is superfluous so should be deleted.

Transwoe...

Although this person's message was distasteful, I'm can't quite see how it meets the criminal threshold. Publicly hoping that a deceased individual's death was "extremely painful", and hoping that she died screaming shackled to her bed (referencing the pregnant prisoner story) is disturbing, but as Ann Widdecome herself said:

"Nobody has the right to live their lives being protected from offence or from insults or from hurt feelings."

The posts were made before the manner of Widdecome's death was made known, which makes it... slightly less worse?

That said, if the individual's employers see fit, they should be free to dismiss them for gross misconduct for making statements that reflect poorly.

I'm wondering if the police found worse in this person's other messages, or their harddrive...

I agree with this. Ann Widdicombe herself wouldn’t have agreed with criminal charges for a foul opinion on her. Being sacked seems fair enough though.

heathspeedwell · 16/07/2026 18:14

I think it's likely that the police have found further evidence that hasn't been reported yet.

It's about time that the media stopped pretending that men who identify as women are the 'most vulnerable people ever'.

The sad fact is that 62% of transwomen in prison in England and Wales are rapists or sex offenders. And that recent study from Oxford showed that transwomen are more likely to commit murder than they are to be murdered in the UK.

When men identify as women, they don't suddenly become any safer than other men.

Wishesandhorses · 16/07/2026 18:12

As said, I'd suspect something more has been recovered or seen by police under this that isn't knowledge in circulation, but equally Widdecombe was a well known, well respected government figure, there will be many of her friends and colleagues in govt and I can imagine they were extremely distressed by her death and by these awful, ugly comments about it. Pressure on the police from that direction may have been high.

Will he have a toilet in his cell down the nick, or will he have to use the men's.

Poetic justice for Ann.

Not a great week for Jolyon Maugham, but I am not a monster and will continue to support TRAINS. I look forward to seeing Sophie Molly post another selfie on the next train that carries him off to meet Jo and the GLP to work on their case against Sarah Phillimore. 🚂🚂🚂

🤣🤣🤣 JoMo has probably fled the country.

I suspect he was arrested for this:
The posts were published before detectives announced they were treating Ms Widdecombe's death as murder.

And then, after due diligence ie checking his phone/laptop, they found enough evidence of something else that passed the criminal activity level rather than his tweet.

FAFO 😂

Aberdeen University were flooded with his previous posts, including the guns with names attached and the "if they don't show love, show guns" (paraphrasing possibly) so it is even possible the Uni reported him from their investigation and handed over his work computer.

Don't suppose we will ever know but arrested and charged is a start.
