This is a cross-post by John Sargeant at homo economicus
I write this with a sense of dread. Not because I do not have evidence to suggest that Mo Ansar may have been using an old account of his on twitter to hassle and berate his critics, while it talks him up. That a twitter account called “@The_TruthTeller” used to be called “@MoAnsar2″ can be clearly demonstrated. That it became suddenly active, after a long absence, just beforeMo Ansar reported Iain Dale to the police on 1 April 2014 for racial and religious hatred for banning Mo from his radio show and calling him a “gobby prick” on twitter. The police, and TellMamma which monitors hatred towards Muslims, both dismissed his complaint.
Sarah adds: Do read the rest of John’s post here – there are a lot of images, which is why I haven’t cross-posted more. I’d like to add that Ansar’s accusations against Iain Dale were so misplaced as to be completely surreal. Here is Iain’s own take on being reported to the police.
