If there’s a thread on this already I’ll ask for this to be deleted, but I just saw this and find it very, very scary:
twitter.com/PaulEmbery/status/1363627584236437504
Merseyside Police proclaiming to the public that:
“BEING OFFENSIVE IS AN OFFENCE”
With a massive rainbow alongside just to make it absolutely clear who no one is allowed to be “offensive” to.
I mean, didn’t we have a JR recently where the judge ruled the exact opposite? That being offensive is not an offence, that nobody is entitled never to be offended? That it’s a good thing we’ve never had a Gestapo or Cheka or Stasi here?
Isn’t this literally the police rewriting the law themselves?
I’m really struggling to look at this picture and not think “police state”.
Chilling effect.
