Seems Rosie Duffield and Neale Hanvey were also threatened.

The Met Police appear to have dismissed an earlier threat.

'Joanna Cherry reported a tweet in which a Twitter user – who appears to have since deleted their account – threatened: “I’d kill her with my bare hands if I saw her [in real life]”.
The Metropolitan Police have now said they reviewed the post and concluded it “did not meet the criminal threshold for an offence”.
A spokesperson for the London force said: “On Tuesday, June 13, the Met was made aware of a tweet received by a serving MP.

“The contents were assessed and it was deemed this did not meet the criminal threshold for an offence.'

What the fuck is the threshold?

The Met police are an absolute disgrace.

This. I am not surprised at all.

Earlier article - the threat was made after Cherry spoke at the debate in Westminster Hall.

What the fuck is the threshold?

Threatening, disrespecting or otherwise upsetting a man.

Quite. The Met are a disgrace.

The Metropolitan Police have now said they reviewed the post and concluded it “did not meet the criminal threshold for an offence”.

If threatening a lesbian MP with death doesn't, what does?

You mean after she was extremely disrespectful to another politician talking about a trans person writing on suicide?

Yep that was super sensitive of her and respectful of someone else speaking.

Does in no way condone any death threat.

Not a very nice person IMHO.

That's all you need; Mishi, Hope that helps.

Be fair, the Met is busy. Issuing apologies to Tatchell for instance.

A death threat does not meet the threshold for a crime? Since when?

Not a very nice person IMHO.

Thanks for your valued opinion, Mishy, great contribution to the discussion.

That's two now. And she's got a court case coming up for other credible threats, presumably on top of the ones she got last year.

This has to fucking stop.

A threat is only credible when it is against an actual human (eg a man) rather than just a support human. Especially a supper human who has the audacity to not be interested in actual humans for sex

She should try misgendering someone on Twitter. My guess is the police would come to see her pretty quickly after that 🙄

The second tweet did appear to be aimed at an actual real male, tho.

Hmmm. Ponders on all the women arrested / "invited with a threat of arrest" by the police to "discuss" various tweets, none of which contained any death threats? What's the difference I wonder?
(Rhetorical question - we all know the answer).

She is very brave.

And I'd not be so stupid as to pick a fight with her, she's too smart.

Perhaps the police force assigned to monitor Caroline Farrow's social media could spare a few officers to look into it at least?? Or do they need all their best men on that job

So saying 'I’d kill her with my bare hands if I saw her [in real life]' is not a crime, but calling a trans woman a man is a hate crime??

Insanity.

Picture the scene. In a rare twist, a GC feminist makes a tweet that actually threatens literal violence. No, I’m not talking about misgendering. She goes the whole hog and writes a threatening post along the lines of: “If I ever see (insert name of any prominent trans rights activist) in real life, I’ll (such and such) them with my bare hands.” The police would be breaking down her door. Why are the rules different when the boot’s on the other foot? Could it be because the victim of the death threat in this instance is a pesky woman (or non-man) with ever so problematic GC views?

Women get murdered all the time. What's one more?

(That was bitter sarcasm, for the hard of thinking MishyJDI amongst us)

Lessons will be learnt blah blah.

Not by you though.

Where is PC Plod from the Toytown Constabulary when you need him?

I'm sure he could lecture explain to us all why this is absolutely nothing like CF/KJK/MM etc, and nauseam.

What did JC say that was allegedly disrespectful?
