Unfortunately the tweet has now been deleted so you can’t see how royally Liam was getting his arse handed to him on Twitter, but here’s the original tweet in case your blood pressure isn’t high enough already today.

So we can describe some individuals i can think of in very specific terms, and that would be ok?

How about CBBTW, (insert name of your choice)?

VickyEadie · 01/02/2019 16:20

The police are covering themselves in shit glory these days, aren't they?

NicoAndTheNiners · 01/02/2019 16:20

Idiots.

I bet they also think that saying a woman is an adult human female is a hate crime/incident.

‘Horrific attacks’ against trans people in the uk? Where is the evidence of this?

tubspreciousthings · 01/02/2019 16:21

Well that makes me really confident in Manchester policing attitudes

Katvonfelttipeyebrows · 01/02/2019 16:24

It's even used against trans people who disagree in any way with the insane TRAs

It's totally a slur

userschmoozer · 01/02/2019 16:25

A word is a slur if the recipient thinks it is a slur unless the recipient is a woman, in which case their feelings, experience and opinion are of no consequence.

Yep

YES.

Liam is acting like a bit of a twat.
‘Hopefully you can gain insight into Trans Rights’
Patronising much?

ClosdesMouches · 01/02/2019 16:28

Did anyone get a screenshot of the one referring to 'cis women'?

User10fuckingmillion · 01/02/2019 16:30

And would they say that TERFs are the ones carrying out these horrific attacks?

I looked at the twitter of his supporter that he was replying to there. Confused. Not nice.

ClosdesMouches, here you go.

I think Liam might be in a spot of bother right about now.

FlawedAmazon · 01/02/2019 16:42

Maybe all the examples I sent of TRA threats where the word Terf was used, sent the lovely Liam over the edge? Hmm

Beerflavourednipples · 01/02/2019 16:45

How come TERF is 'just a description' but saying 'woman = adult human female' is hate speech?

ClosdesMouches · 01/02/2019 16:46

Thanks Floral , there was another one too, where Liam referred to 'cis women'.

Thingybob · 01/02/2019 16:46

Can we report Liam for hate speech?

ClosdesMouches · 01/02/2019 16:46

Exactly, Beer.

Beerflavourednipples · 01/02/2019 16:47

All been completely deleted. Oh dear...

FoxyLaRoxy · 01/02/2019 16:47

What Beer said!

It's in line with all that 'educate yourself' stuff that's always being spouted at women.

It's really wanky that the official twitter accounts of bodies like the police can just delete tweets - and all the responses disappear. "Nothing to see here any more".

FoxyLaRoxy · 01/02/2019 16:55

Alas for GMP, Juells, people have screenshots. It will never go away. I hope they get held to account.

TimeLady · 01/02/2019 16:56

I'm intrigued at what sort of police officer wants to end up running a twitter account. Why would you sign up for something as mindless as that?
