Grandmother vs. 'Thought Police' in Manchester!

In Greater Manchester, Helen Jones, a 54-year-old grandmother, vowed to fight back after detectives visited her home over a Facebook post calling for a local councillor's resignation. Jones, shocked and initially anxious, criticized the police for wasting resources on social media posts instead of "real crime." The incident, reflecting growing concerns about free speech in the UK, was dubbed "sinister and ridiculous" by Toby Young of the Free Speech Union. Greater Manchester Police claimed the action was in response to recent threats against councillors, concluding no crime was committed.
