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.
Stafford Crown Court heard that Bell was not present during earlier violence at the town’s Holiday Inn Express, which had been set ablaze while housing asylum seekers.

The riots followed the tragic Southport attacks when three young girls were fatally stabbed at a Taylor Swift dance class at the end of July. Judge Edwards told the court: “The violence was fuelled by misinformation and misplaced far-right sentiment. It spread to various towns and cities across the nation including, as we know, Tamworth.” Bell’s involvement occurred around 10.30pm, after the main disturbances had subsided, as the judge noted she was among a group believed to be heading towards another hotel in the town.
Her livestream comments were deemed “unacceptable and abhorrent” by the judge, who said they had the “potential to fan the flames”.
