As far as I’ve been able to gather, the image of the house was posted BY SOMEONE ELSE. The image of the firearm was posted from a country where firearms are legal. There was no threatening language in his post of the firearm. All charges were ultimately dropped (though he was arrested and spent time in jail over the post)
The thing you fail to understand is how afraid of guns British people can be.
There was an article a few years ago about a British man, ex army. The story goes someone threw a bag of shotguns over his fence. He found them. Brought them inside for safekeeping overnight, brought them to the police station first thing in the morning. Arrested and charged for possession.
As far as I can tell he posted a picture containing a gun. This scared someone who reported it. The police arrested him. No further evidence of a crime was found and he was not charged.
