Zia Yusuf posted this at 7:21pm tonight. Worth checking against what actually happened. He claims a Serco employee was charged for facilitating the housing of "dangerous foreign nationals" near vulnerable communities, and calls it "a clear precedent" for prosecuting Serco staff under a future Reform government. That's not what the case was about. James Jobson was charged with misconduct in public office for allegedly leaking the addresses of asylum seeker properties in Thetford, addresses that were then targeted by rioters over three nights. Officers were bitten, spat at, hit with a rock. The charge is about disclosing where migrants lived to a hostile crowd. Not about concealing dangerous people near the public. Yusuf's own letter admits the charge was dropped: "Whilst the charge has rightly been discontinued, I won't comment further on the specifics of that case." He then calls it a precedent in the next paragraph anyway. A discontinued charge isn't a precedent. It's a case that didn't hold up. He put that fact in his own letter and used it as the foundation for a new prosecution threat regardless. Just proves @ZiaYusufUK is a fucking liar.
