The "hate campaign" against Julie Bailey

The "hate campaign" against Julie Bailey 

Julie Bailey has on many occasions alleged a hate campaign against her by Stafford people. She even goes so far as to name individuals as being behind the campaign. She has stated on Twitter and in the press that she has had death threats against her, her mother's grave was desecrated, people would shout at her in her cafe, in the street and in the supermarket, and that various remarks were made on the internet.

Staffordshire police investigated these allegations - although they were not contacted by Ms Bailey or anyone else. Strange if this campaign was so vicious and sustained, you might think. They concluded their investigation by stating that there was insufficient evidence to progress against any one individual. 

Now I suspect many of us have been in the situation where we have reported a crime and the police are not able to identify a suspect. The lack of evidence to pursue the inquiry further does not mean that all the allegations are fabricated. There certainly have people expressing their anger at the issues for their local hospital. One person expressed the wish that Ms Bailey be taken ill and have travel a long distance to hospital, since Stafford Hospital was closed. This was described as a "death threat". I do not know if there have been other incidents, but Stafford police were not happy with the description "death threats", a very reliable source tells me. 

Of course there have been people that are unhappy with Ms Bailey, and it's quite conceivable that some individuals might have vandalized her mother's grave (although again we have no evidence of this). The issue is whether there has been an orchestrated or sustained campaign, and there simply is no evidence of this. In particular, there is absolutely no evidence that Labour activists are behind this, and the accusations are simply directed at those who dare to challenge the narrative of Ms Bailey and Cure the NHS.
