A Catholic mother who has been praised by JK Rowling claims she had her personal devices seized in a police raid and was quizzed by cops over a series of 'malicious' posts on the far-right chat board KiwiFarms.
Caroline Farrow, a journalist and mother-of-five, shared a lengthy thread online detailing her experience with Surrey Police after two police officers reportedly 'forced' their way into her home to arrest her last night.
While in the middle of preparing a roast dinner for her priest husband Robin and five children on Sunday, two police officers rang her at home and allegedly demanded she join them for an interview under caution.
The row stems from a series of anonymous posts shared on forums on Kiwi Farms in June - in which Mrs Farrow is accused of posting 'malicious' content and 'harassing' other users on the online platform.
She has strenuously denied the allegations ...
Mrs Farrow later shared images purportedly showing her being frisked by officers in her driveway, claimed her electronic devices were seized and said she had to surrender her jewellery before being interviewed at a police station in Guildford.
She tweeted: 'When read my rights and told that what I said could be used in evidence against me, I replied that women don’t have an [aubergine emoji - often used online to refer to a penis].' ...
Sentences for those found guilty under the Malicious Communications Act can be as long as two years.
Mrs Farrow, who once complained of her life being 'invaded and dominated by insane trans rights activists', has previously been publicly supported by Harry Potter author JK Rowling.
Mrs Farrow was investigated by the same police force in 2019 over allegations she had used the wrong pronoun to describe a transgender woman.

It happens.
‘FaRRIGHT’ Lol kf isn’t political site its a gossip rag for internet personalities. Theres tons of threads dunking on rightwing figures and the owner goes out of his way to prevent people coming in for political reasons.
probably he is Episcopalian and not Catholic.
I don't know. We aren't provided that information in the article.
Also, priests in some of the other 21 non-Latin rites of the Catholic Church are allowed to marry.
That's possible too. In fact, that is most likely the case, being that this is England.
It's possible that her husband was an Anglican priest, they married, and he converted to Catholicism for her.
Married priests (of certain Christian denominations) who convert to Catholicism can become Catholic priests, yet remain married to their spouse. They cannot, however, remarry if their wife dies or divorces him.
Only they'd say "mum" rather than "ma'am."
Probably converts from the Anglican Church. If they are married when they convert and are ordained, the men are allowed to keep their wives.
More specifically, Britain is full of Muslim grooming gangs, rape gangs, machete attacks, and acid attacks -- many unsolved. Yet limited police resources are allocated to investigating, tracking down, and arresting women who post "women don't have penises."
Only a priest is forbidden to marry … in violation of the word of God.
I have a relative who is a cop in the UK. I once asked about the laws they have against free speech. His response was chilling, “oh those? yeah, they’re never *really* ever exercised!”. Oh, I see. They’re there to intimidate people that they *could* be arrested for speech....and now they’re being used over the differences of *opinions*, all going one way.
They’ve lost it.
Thanks I didn’t think the article provided that info either.
Maybe he’s a priest in another demonination.
hum. someone once called out the banality of pure evil. how nice and polite they are as the crush you.
Three years ago, I asked a visiting Brit about those laws. He told me, "Oh, they're only enforced in the most extreme circumstances. When people say just the most absolutely vile things."
See my Post 20. Repeat as necessary.
How did I make it this far without knowing that?
READ ME FIRST: The Catholic church accepts married clergy from the Anglican (and other) faiths who married BEFORE they converted. If their wife dies they must remain celebate.
The Catholic church was very understanding and welcoming when the American Episcopal church went all wacky. A dear friend of mine “crossed the Tiber” along with his wife.
A good Bible education will tear up heresy every time - sadly a “real” Bible is pretty much anathema to you boys.
