Bernadette Spofforth has broken her silence and posted a video message on Twitter.
“Without free speech, there is no democracy and without democracy there really is only tyranny. And to be treated as a criminal, when you know you are innocent, by the authorities, journalists and activists is terrifying and reputationally devastating,” she said.
Adding, “The process is the punishment and will silence millions. And when we are silent, that is the end of our free speech.”

Bernadette Spofforth (“Bernie”) was accused of being one of the first people to falsely claim that the Southport murderer was an asylum seeker who had arrived by boat.
On 8 August, Bernie was arrested and held in custody for 36 hours on suspicion of publishing written material to stir up racial hatred and false communications. However, her case was later dropped and she is no longer being investigated by the police.
The Free Speech Union (FSU) defended her, stating that she should not have been arrested in the first place. FSU General Secretary Toby Young said, “Had she been prosecuted, we would have arranged for a crack team of lawyers to defend her and paid all their costs.”

On Wednesday, Bernie posted a video update on Twitter (now X) titled ‘If This is True’, a reference to her original tweet over which she was arrested and began with the same words.
“This is the story of how the [UK] State silenced an ordinary citizen, through arrest and bail conditions, to ensure only State truth was heard,” she tweeted on Wednesday.
In her video post, she began by explaining her silence stating that if she had responded to messages of support, she would have been locked up again for breaching bail conditions. She then said that on 5 September, the police had issued a statement saying they were taking “no further action” (“NFA”), meaning that no charge would be brought and the investigation would be closed. “Because I hadn’t done anything illegal,” she said.
