Holly Passmore is an Englishwoman, not Jewish, but keenly interested in the Jewish people. And she supports Israel. Of course, such a view — so suspect in present-day Britain — led the police to pay her a visit to see what this dangerous woman was up to. More on her ordeal can be found here: “Mother referred to Prevent for ‘over-identifying with Israel,’” by Janet Eastham, Telegraph,
When Holly Passmore heard a knock at her front door at about 11am on July 4 last year, she assumed it was an Amazon delivery.
Instead, the 44-year-old mother-of-two from County Durham found two plain-clothes police officers on her doorstep wanting to know why she had recently visited Israel.
Of course. Why would any non-Jewish person want to visit Israel unless they were dangerously supportive of the Jewish state? And what brainwashing by those diabolical Israelis might she have been subject to while there? This naturally called for a police interrogation.
“They said it was a safeguarding matter,” recalled Ms Passmore, who cares for her nine-year-old son, Rex, who has severe autism, while studying for a master’s degree.
She assumed they were concerned she had taken her son into a war zone.
I said, ‘Well, my son didn’t go to Israel. He stayed here with my mum and my daughter, who’s 20’,” she recalled. But the female officer replied: “No this is about you – because you may be at risk of manipulation.”…
At “risk of manipulation”? By whom? Oh, that’s obvious: manipulation by sinister Israelis, determined to make Holly Passmore even more supportive of Israel than she already was. Why, they might have taken her to the places that Hamas had attacked on October 7, 2023, in a sinister attempt to win even greater sympathy for Israel. The police needed to debrief her, to find out just why she had made the trip to Israel, and what happened on that trip that might have brainwashed her to be even more dangerously pro-Israel than she already is.
A police intelligence report seen by The Telegraph reveals that the referral said she “over-identified with the conflict between Israel and Palestine” and was “supportive of Israel to the point that she has travelled to Israel.”
So supportive of Israel was she that she even — horrribile dictu — visited Israel, and even went to Kfar Aza, one of the kibbutzim where Hamas committed atrocities on October 7, 2023. That might make her even more sympathetic to Israel, and then she would communicate her feelings to her 28,000 followers online. And that was deeply worrisome to whoever alerted the police in Country Durham to investigate.
It also described her as having “MH” – meaning mental health – issues and being “vulnerable to negative influence.”…
What mental health issues did Passmore have? None, of course. She was raising two children, one of them autistic, on her own, while continuing her studies for a doctoral degree long-distance at the University of Haifa. Few people could manage as well as she has.
The police intelligence report Ms Passmore obtained under data protection laws acknowledged that there “is no CT [counter-terror] concern with an individual being supportive of Israel as a democracy and it would not be a CT concern for a person to travel there.”…
But why did the police investigate her in the first place? For visiting Israel? For expressing her support online for the Jewish state? Is that now a suspect act? What exactly triggered the police coming to her door and questioning her? Let’s take a wild guess: the person who reported her to Prevent was either a Muslim or a left-wing supporter of Hamas, hoping to make trouble for Holly Passmore. But why did the police so promptly take the bait? Surely the police have better things to do, like investigating the Pakistani grooming gangs that have so far ruined the lives of a quarter-million British girls.
“They asked me why I was interested in ‘Jewish issues’, because County Durham is not a Jewish area,” she added. “They even asked me if I’d ever been to Auschwitz, and I said, ‘Yes’….
In the U.K., visiting Auschwitz is apparently a telltale sign of too much interest in, and sympathy for, the Jewish people, and for the police in Britain today, those who visit such a place need to be investigated. That’s how bad things have become.
Ms Passmore’s concerns deepened last week when, eight days after she returned from Israel, she discovered that her NHS records had classified her as a “vulnerable adult.”…
“Vulnerable” to what? Presumably, to the propaganda being fed her by those clever Jews in Israel. For why else would anybody support Israel?
The force has previously said: “Each Prevent referral is reviewed to determine whether further action is required including, where appropriate, assessment to determine if there is an immediate security threat, or whether a vulnerable person is at genuine risk of radicalisation.”
The police in County Durham were alerted by a referral from Prevent that Holly Passmore was a possible security risk. And the evidence for that? She supported Israel. She admitted as much online to her 28,000 followers. She even visited the Jewish state, and while there had visited Kfar Aza, one of the kibbutzim that Hamas had attacked. And more worrisome still, she had visited Auschwitz, that would undoubtedly have confirmed her in her philosemitic sympathies. No wonder the police came a-calling. This woman needed to be investigated. But had she attended demonstrations in favor of Hamas, and waved a Palestinian flag, and screamed “globalize the Intifada,” nothing would have happened to her. And that sums up the unbelievable state of affairs in Britain today.

Watch the movie, “V for Vengeance” and you can see where the British government is taking their citizens and it’s all in the name of Islam.
The only other possibility is that the British government is using Orwell’s “1984” as a blueprint for their current government, except that it won’t apply to Muslims.

I am reading this article thinking, this must be a joke, a parody, a Monty Python skit! When did i fall down the rabbit hole? I found myself laughng out loud at the absurdity of the times in which we live. This story could be me, but thank God, for now i am not living in UK-istan and have a month or two break before some lug nut comes knocking on my door. Heaven help us, please!!

At risk of manipulation? This is pure Orwellianism. Britain is dying.
somehistory says
The “negative influence” was at her door, grilling her regarding her visit to an ancient nation because muzzies wanted her to be silenced
The police are carrying out what muzzies demand.

But if you report a Muslim you suspect is radicalized, you’re arrested for Islamophobia……in the UK

Any glue that had been holding the UK together is now gone.
Leftists and muslims are now in charge.

They don’t need to riot in the UK like they’re doing in France.
UK is already toast, imo.

As the police proceed to manipulate her they state that she is at risk of manipulation. She is at risk of manipulation, by the police. Dang the police are dumb. The way the police are trying to threaten and intimidate her you might think she is a female getting out of line in a muslim country. I think that is called a “tell”. In accordance with islamic values I believe the female cop should by slapped around.

British police are in the same category as the German soldiers who blindly followed Hitler during WW2 & killed Jews because they were told to. Not on the same scale, but in the same category.

When I was in 7th grade our teacher put on a video and told us to take notes. Ten minutes in she threw the lights on and shouted at a boy named Steven, telling him he was not taking notes like he was instructed to. But Steven was taking notes. I saw it and so did everyone else. Then, the teacher asked if anyone wanted to stand-up for Steven. A few of us tried to choke out an excuse, but we were quickly squashed and the room went silent. Steven was sent to and then, disappeared into to the ‘Principal’s Office’. The teacher came back and announced, “Now, see how ‘easy’ that was?” We were reading “Ann Frank” and I started to understand.
Don’t let anyone tell you that what you are seeing with your own eyes isn’t happening.

No wonder muslims usually riot in France, but not in UK. No need for the muslims to show their superiority over the non muslims in UK, the UK police has done a good job for the muslims.
Sandra says
Yes, they do nothing about BDS stalls, even on 7th October 2023. They do nothing about Palestinian flags. This is the police in Durham.
Sandra says
I live in County Durham too and have heard several true accounts from other people up here about the police and their dreadful behaviour. They are useless political puppets of the corrupt system that is this country and they love the power this gives them.

Having visited England in my young manhood, I weep. Time was when the British police were just about the epitome of civilized, responsible, and apolitical policing. Now, they seem to be the equivalents of Beria’s crew and Kang Sheng’s Gong An Ju.

It is totally sickening that these non working , benefit claiming, in breds are now threatening the country that has been stupid enough to allow them in.

I suggest Ms Passmore joins the Free Speech Union.
