The Spin


Left narrative

Polanski mistakenly accepted a 20-post social media collaboration without seeing the full content. Meanwhile, Reform councillors have openly called for people to be shot or hanged with zero consequences. Reporting Polanski while shielding their own members from accountability exposes Reform's free speech stance as nothing more than selective outrage.

Right narrative

The law must apply equally to everyone, no matter who you vote for. Lucy Connolly faced prison time for a deleted post seen by fewer people than Polanski's, leaving no acceptable outcome other than jail. For all the cries of far-right extremism, this post once again proves it is really the radical left that continue to endanger the lives of British politicians every day.
