A retired policeman in the United Kingdom reported reports that he was arrested after the increasing threat of anti -Semitism in Great Britain after October 7, 2023 because of a social media mail warning.

Julian Foulkes, a 71-year-old retired special police officer from Kent, England, was arrested in November 2023 and, according to the Daily Mail, was searched by the law enforcement authorities.

According to reports, Foulkes became in the anti-Israel protests in the weeks after the attacks on October 7 in London and other large European cities in London and other major European cities. In a position on X this month, he warned of escalating anti -Semitism after rioters stormed a Russian airport who was looking for Tel Aviv.

“A step of the Heathrow storms, which is looking for Jewish arrivals …”, he posted in an answer to a pro-Palestinian post.

Foulkes told the mail that he was “shocked and amazed” after Kent's police officers later arrived at his door to search his house.

According to Bodycam film material, which was checked by the Telegraph, an officer expressed concerns about the books that he read, including those of the British author and commentator Douglas Murray, and commented that his bookshelf contained “very Brexit-Y things”.

According to reports, the police also expressed concerns about a shopping list of his wife, a hairdresser, which included bleaching, bleaching foils and gloves.

The police confiscated his electronic devices and held foulkes for eight hours before he gave him caution – a formal warning that admits to a person who admits a crime to avoid law enforcement.

Foulkes said that he had accepted the caution for fear that he would be held away from visiting his only surviving daughter who lives in Australia.

He compared the ordeal with the focus on a “thought crime”.

“This is absolutely an Orwellian -style crime. It is absolutely ridiculous because I sent a tweet that was appropriate under the circumstances and was a tweet that was based on events that I had read about the previous day and last week,” he told the mail.

“It was taken out of the context and I really can't go through all of the Kent Police mistakes – as much as I want – but it was pretty amazing for me that I had served with them for 10 years,” he added.

The Kent police apologized to fouls on Monday and said they made a mistake and his protocol had been clarified.

“On November 2, 2023, a report on a social media post was drawn up to the Kent police, which was supposedly insulting, and Mr. Foulkes was arrested on the same day,” said the explanation with Fox News Digital Read.

“Although an unconditional caution was offered and accepted after his own independent legal advice, a subsequent review of the case came to the conclusion that the caution was not appropriate under the circumstances and should not be issued.”

“The police of Kent apologizes to Mr. Foulkes for the need and how the report was examined. We triggered the caution before its recording and are pleased to facilitate this correction. Mr. Foulkes has been informed about the decision, and a further review of the matter is now being carried out to identify all learning options,” the statement continued.

Foulkes says he was looking for legal help and plans to sue the police for false arrest.

The concerns about the freedom of speech threatened in Great Britain have attracted the attention of US leaders like Vice President JD Vance.
