Telegraph columnist Allison Pearson was visited for allegedly stirring up racial hatred but Essex Police refused to tell her which post had been reported.
Essex Police have closed an investigation into a journalist for alleged incitement of racial hatred over an online post they said had since been deleted.
An independent review will be launched into the force’s handling of the case after a considerable media backlash over free speech and concerns over the use of police time.
Telegraph columnist Allison Pearson said she was wearing her dressing gown when she was spoken to by two constables from Essex Police on Remembrance Sunday, about a year-old post on social media platform X, formerly Twitter.
They invited her to attend a voluntary interview at a police station, which she declined to do.
Pearson said police would not tell her which post she had been reported for, leading to her having to trawl through her archive and guess.
The columnist takes a pro-Israel stance on the ongoing war in Gaza, and has said she presumes it was a post expressing her views on pro-Palestinian protests which caused an unknown individual to report her to the police.
