About time imo

But they could also say he is a transwoman. Put a space in it if it matters.

A space where?

What did he say about the way AW died in advance? I've not heard about this.

Because they are reporting on a police statement which does not make any reference to the sex of the suspect. They also don't mention the suspect's skin colour or nationality - because it's not in the police statement.

Did the police statement say he is a transwoman? How would the reporter even know? It's a piece of factual reportage, not investigative journalism.

There is chatter (on X) that Herbert/the polycule are being investigated more widely about various social media posts. I don’t know if this is true or whether I just want it to be true, as it should be true! Also a photo of what appears to be the print version of the Daily Record - the online non-subscription Daily Record is almost unreadable. Anyway, see if this posts: https://x.com/JNHanvey/status/2077721994515063233/photo/1

Daily record using correct sex pronouns here, which makes the situation so much clearer and easier to understand. I mean, the accompanying pictures also tell the story...

They'd previously posted pictures of guns and said some rather questionable things about bullets. Maybe this time the police will do something, but I'm not holding my breath.

I would wonder what else came to light when they looked into things. The tweets were revolting but we've all seen much worse.

I wonder if they checked his hard drive?

I know this is missing the point of the thread but who calls themselves Poppybear Hackett 😂😂😂

Maybe she might rethink that bearing in mind she is now actually murdered. If she were still alive to rethink it.

After the o

Yeah, I thought this was interesting wording from the police spokesperson:

Following further assessment, a 50-year-old has been arrested and charged in connections.

Further assessment of what? This tweet or posts more generally? Charged in 'connections' of what?

The fact that BBC reporting is suggesting that it's just about this tweet makes me think it isn't (which is where my level of trust in BBC is right now...).

He is an irrelevant twat looking to make a name for himself. It was a vile thing to say. Imagine if someone had said this about one of his family.

very important point. The post I saw is offensive but free speech I would have thought.

This may be for other posts, maybe inciting actual violence.

It’s excellent news and about time those vile men are held accountable for their actions

😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬

I wonder if the police let him go the first time around and he, being an arrogant arse thought he was fine, and then the police found evidence of further vile behaviour?

Notice one of his polycule says in the above clip “ a brain outage “ with regards to an alleged sexual assault…

Got the opportunity to choose from every name in the universe and he couldn't Hackett

Yes agree. He should lose his job at the university for bringing his employer into disrepute but I don't think police or courts should be involved

though he is a bloody awful man and I did laugh when I saw it

We all know why.

Can anyone summarise? I'm not on X and it won't play for me.

I think Sparkles posted about receiving threats and abuse. My better angel knows if it's wrong from tras it's wrong towards them. I'm trying to ignore the other angel's sniggering.

I think it depends what the charge is - if he has done something that would be a chargeable offence for anybody else, HH should be treated exactly the same.
Treated fairly, let justice take its course and all that - but I'm glad he's getting the message that his behaviour has consequences.
