This is truly sinister. Kellie-Jay Keen received a call while on holiday from a police officer asking her to attend a voluntary interview in relation to two separate investigations. One complaint relates to a speech she gave at the Unite the Kingdom rally. The other concerns a post on X in which she said, “We have Muslim fatigue,” before going on to talk about gang rapes, hate preaching and Sharia courts. The officer said police were investigating whether her post on X constituted an offence under the Malicious Communications Act and wanted to establish what her intention was when she posted it. He also confirmed that an individual had taken offence at the post and reported it to the police. The same was true of her speech. Kellie was also told that if she refused to attend the voluntary interview, she could face arrest. How is this proportionate? And in what world is this a good use of police time? It is not illegal to offend someone in Britain — yet. The police also appear to have forgotten that Parliament abolished the blasphemy laws 18 years ago. The Starmer Government’s decision to introduce an official definition of Islamophobia — repackaged as “anti-Muslim hostility” — which has had a chilling effect on free speech. Activists have weaponised the definition by making vexatious complaints to the police about anyone who dares to debate, criticise or mock Islam. This is Britain in 2026.
