This is what totalitarian police states do: “frame” a political opponent for a bogus crime and force him to prove his innocence.
This is what the Uk has done to Tommy Robinson.
Except it was worse. They accused him of “calling his supporters to act as vigilantes” when they had the video, in hand, showing this was explicitly not the case (he was talking about the media).
They also changed the reporting guidelines - adding new language not in the actual guidelines - just to find him guilty of these new unwritten guidelines.
...hoping the new PM changes course.
