The Metropolitan Police will not investigate the harassment of national treasure Dame Helen Mirren by a pro-Palestine activist, according to reports. The Oscar-winning actress, 80, was called an 'evil Zionist b****' by Corbynista Tom Carroll as she walked along the street in London with her husband, Taylor Hackford.
Scotland Yard initially treated last year's incident as a possible hate crime, but have since decided not to proceed with the investigation.
Why?
It is understood the decision was taken after officers spoke to Dame Helen, who has long been outspoken in her support for Israel.
I feel they are trying to imply that she doesn't want the fuss, but they should say that if so. Or remind themselves that this is the UK and people don't have to 'press charges' here and do the job they are paid to do...
Especially when the perp is a known danger to women:
In 2018, Carroll was wanted in connection with a brutal assault on an 84-year-old woman at Shoreditch High Street station in east London whilst he was on his way from a violent far-Left protest. Five years later he handed himself in to police in 2023 where he pleaded not guilty but was sentenced to 12 months' probation & 200 hours' community service for the lesser crime of threatening behaviour.
So, he got let off, and I could understand the police's frustration with that, but it's not a reason not to do their part.
