Mason Greenwood arrested.

"@gmpolice were made aware earlier today of online social media images & videos posted by a woman reporting incidents of physical violence. Following enquiries we can confirm a man in his 20s has since been arrested on suspicion of rape & assault."
As the case is now live, please ensure you are careful on what you tweet about the case so as not to prejudice any future action(s).

It is important the victim achieves justice.

Manchester United have suspended Mason Greenwood.
Now that the victim had made clear via ger father she did NOT wish this to become public knowledge, the best practice for all who have named her would be to delete those references ASAP.

Victims of sexual crimes are entitled to anonymity unless the willingly waive it.

This is my son Alex on his 5th birthday, just days after we started the 1st lockdown of 2020.

No friends or family present, no cards, and at that time, no understanding of why he couldn't see anyone.

It broke our hearts, but we did it to protect people.

Resign @BorisJohnson. This shows a young boy opening a birthday present alone.
January 2021, my son Ashton's 3rd birthday.

Lockdown had been announced a week or so earlier, my son suddenly couldn't see his friends or have his party. It broke his heart.

Again, we followed the rules and he saw nobody.

Resign @BorisJohnson
March 2021, lockdown in effect.

My son spends his SECOND BIRTHDAY IN A ROW, without being able to see family or friends. This was very hard on him as he has Autism & was finding it hard to understand.

You are a liar and a charlatan and should resign @BorisJohnson.

.@LabourMuslims literally gave you a report on Islamophobia in the Labour Party and you've done NOTHING.

Don't you dare use Muslims as a political point to score from, when you are ignoring it in your own party.

Absolute hypocrisy.
• Labour staffer briefs national media that Muslims are antisemitic: No action.
• Trevor Phillips' Islamophobia: no action
@zarahsultana & @ApsanaBegumMP getting abused: no action
• Islamophobia complaints: no action
• Hires David Blunket despite his comments about Muslims
Labour Muslim MP says that she finds it hurtful that @Keir_Starmer refuses to show any solidarity with her and other Muslim MPs when they suffer Islamophobia.

Weeks ago @zarahsultana said this and still nothing.
