Bernadette Spofforth lay in jail on a blue gym mattress in a daze, finding it difficult to move, even breathe.
“I just closed down. But the other half of my brain went into Jack Reacher mode,” she said, referring to the fictional action hero. “Every single detail was in this very vivid, bright, sharp focus.”
She remembers noticing that you can’t drown yourself in the toilet, because there’s no standing water in it and the flush button is too far to reach if your head were in the bowl.
She’d end up being detained for 36 hours in July 2024. Three girls had just been murdered in Southport, England, at a Taylor Swift-themed dance party. But Spofforth was not under suspicion for the crime.
Instead, horrified, and in the fog of a developing tragedy, she’d reposted on X another user’s content blaming newly arrived migrants for the ghastly crime — clarifying in her retweet, “If this is true.”
Hours later she realized she may have received bad information and deleted the post — but it had already been seen thousands of times.
The murders resulted in widespread civil unrest in the UK, where mass migration is a central issue for citizens. Four police vehicles arrived at her home days later. Spofforth, 56, a successful businesswoman from Chester, was placed under arrest.
“We’re a year on now and I can honestly tell you that I don’t think I will ever recover,” she told The Post. “I don’t mean that as a victim. Those poor children were victims. But I will never trust anything the authorities say to me ever again.”

The UK is now using it as a how-to manual.
And they call Trump a facist
BTTT
My bet is that the UK’s Deep State is waiting until after Pres. Trump’s visit is over, then the gloves come off and God help the UK.
UK councillor acquitted over 'cut all their throats' speech
Yet tweet something Big Brother doesn't like:
The British have a tendency to look down on us yet these idiots handed control to Labour. Which is like a drowning man embracing an anchor
Either there’s a second English revolution or the country will descend into a cold and lifeless version of Orwell’s “1984”.
I’m betting it will be the latter.
And as a side point, where is the monarch on all this? I know British monarchs reign but not rule. But my goodness. The UK has long respected freedom of speech.
Wouldn’t this be a good time for the monarch to judiciously use the bully pulpit?
But Trump is the Nazi.
We were, and probably still are one Presidential election away from this same jackboot thuggery.
Jailing people who are opposed to immigrants committing crimes.
The leftists love free speech when they are out of power.
They try to crush it when they are in power.

Absolutely correct. We got a peek at that when Biden was president. Conservatives were being denied bank accounts. Organizations like The Little Sisters of the Poor were harassed because they refused to follow immoral government directives. Etc.
The problem of course is that today’s Democrats are nothing like the Democrats of 50 years ago. They’ve gone from being liberals to being fascists.
To be fair the Tories weren’t any better dealing with the invasion.
Reform UK is really their only hope, but even they are a bit squishy.
Your swimming issues end quickly, as the brits are finding out.
I don't think Nigel Farage is the right leader. He's more like Boris Johnson except he'll attempt to do something about immigration.
They need somebody like Tommy Robinson but he's always in prison.
If Brits in the UK will not accept their replacement by Migrants, then it makes sense to throw them in jail.
After all, isn’t that what “Western Values” now are and why we’re trying so hard to help Europeans fight the Russians in Ukraine?
The sun is setting on the British Empire.
And Biden won in 2020 without fraud. /s
My wife and I just returned home from a two week vacation in the UK. You can really feel the tension between the locals and the Muslim invaders. The locals call east London “Little Bangladesh”, the whole area is trashed out and graffiti is everywhere. The rest of London is relatively clean.
