Following on from yet another pile of bullsh** on the front page of the Daily Fail
the police have concluded that there is insufficient evidence.
Their investigation into the reported assault on a 78-year-old poppy seller during a pro-Palestinian rally, citing “insufficient evidence.” Jim Henderson, an army veteran, alleged that he was punched and kicked while packing up his stall at Waverley Station in Edinburgh.
The British Transport Police, after reviewing CCTV footage and interviewing key witnesses, stated that the case would not be pursued further. Assistant Chief Constable Sean O’Callaghan emphasised the thoroughness of the CCTV footage review and expressed no indication that poppy sellers are deliberately targeted or at risk.
The incident occurred amidst a protest against the Israel-Gaza war, where hundreds of people occupied the station concourse. Henderson, who served in Northern Ireland during the Troubles with the Royal Corps of Signals, 32 Signal Regiment, recounted being punched in the back and side during the altercation.
The Daily Mail rushed to publish without doing any serious journalism.
Instead of being a serious news outlet out to discover the facts, they are a scurrilous rag whose intent here appears mainly to be to spread fear wherever they can without a due process for discovering certitude.
A Dorset Eye investigation early in the year exposed this right wing propaganda and hate creator for what it is:
Those who care about the truth have been having their say:
Important these aren't mistakes by the Evening News and the Daily Mail, they are propaganda meant to demonise sections of the community. This is disinformation and needs called out as such pic.twitter.com/QVuFBHZnbO

I presume @SuellaBraverman will be taking the Daily Mail to task over this whole Poppy seller confection which was deliberately inflammatory and cast aspersions on peaceful people who want a ceasefire. https://t.co/bRlcCIMXmW

Am now convinced Braverman and her client journos at the Daily Mail are hell bent on stirring up trouble on Armistice Day. They are doing everything they can to legitimise right wing nationalists descending on London “to defend the Cenotaph”. The Royal Legion want nothing of the… pic.twitter.com/p3MtL7Gimd

Aw look. The Daily Mail is trying to claim some strange kind of moral high ground. But it's not the first time the Mail have endorsed fascism and a genocide https://t.co/Szkjjn3fB4 pic.twitter.com/xejHtTPuRk
