Elon Musk brands UK a 'police state' after care worker jailed for livestreaming riots

Elon Musk has branded Britain "a police state" after a care worker was jailed for livestreaming riots in Tamworth.

The tech billionaire made the comment to his 207 million followers on social media after a nine-month prison sentence was handed to 23-year-old Cameron Bell.

Bell was imprisoned after admitting to violent disorder charges for livestreaming a group of masked men making racist comments online during the summer riots.

The woman had joined a gang of hooded men following riots related to events in Southport, capturing the scenes on social media whilst wearing her work uniform.
