Facepalm

In the UK the police nominally have the discretion to not enforce the law when it's not in the public interest, so if they genuinely think a case is completely ridiculous, they're free to ignore it. At some point in the story, someone decided it was in the public interest to go after someone for their username.

Seems to be a ham fisted approach to the issue of hate speech.

Agreed

You (the UK)

I'm not from the UK.

keen to make all people part of the UK

Part of the Common Wealth, not the UK.

there is no Welsh Scottish or Northern Irish citizens

Not English either. Only British.

if your grandad came over 50 years ago and you have never been in his country and you don’t speak “foreign” I don’t know what to call you except english.

So anyone who can't speak English definitely isn't English? What about people who regularly visit the country their parents came from?

English is not a race.

Correct, it's an ethnicity, like Somalians, Armenians, Igbo, Dutch, Quechua, Koreans, etc.

Being able to speak English, and having a white skin does not make me English, because I don't share history nor culture with the English.

If you have an issue with black and brown people in your neighborhood then you need to look at the history of white English people going and taking resources and people from where they where and placing them elsewhere.

Let's say I am English - why could I not complain about non-English people (again, that does not relate to skin colour) supposedly fucking up my neighbourhood? What does that have to do with someone from my culture doing something bad back in history?
