The Metropolitan Police have decided not to pursue action against Green Party leader Zack Polanski, following his distribution of an image depicting a guillotine with the phrase "we're only making plans for Nigel". They concluded that sharing the image online was unlikely to be a criminal offence and a wider investigation would be disproportionate.
