Zack Polanski will face no further action after Nigel Farage guillotine re-post

Zack Polanski will face no further action after he reposted a photo of a man wearing a T-shirt that called for the decapitation of Nigel Farage.

The Reform UK leader reported Mr Polanski to the police for "incitement to murder" after he shared the post.

The image, shared with his 713K followers and later deleted, featured a man wearing a T-shirt that read: "We're only making plans for Nigel," alongside a guillotine.

A Met Police spokesman said: "We absolutely understand the reaction to this image being shared online, particularly in the context of increasing threats towards politicians."

They added: "We take the safety and security of those in public life, including politicians, very seriously. Where we identify threats we take appropriate action and where there is evidence of offences we will investigate.

“While there will be people who will argue that those who shared the image in this Instagram post should be subject to criminal action, our review has concluded that on this occasion, the threshold is not met.

"We have spoken with those impacted to explain that decision making and to provide reassurance around our ongoing commitment to their security and the additional support available.”
