The police stepping in to control the media.

What about the DM article on David Challenor? That disturbed me. Should I call 101 or close my browser?

I think it might be time for women to start reporting things to the police via Twitter. Every lesbophobic comment, every misogynistic comment and rape threat. Time to put things in perspective.

Seriously. If I called the police every time I felt victimised/marginalised by a DM article, I’d never get anything else done.

But is this actually the police taking it seriously or is it a blanket statement that they’d give to any spurious report?

Opinion on an issue of concern regarding safeguarding of children = "hate crime" now, apparently.

I think it's Sarah Vine's piece this week on the TG child in school.

Not sure if Feminist Roar is on here but thank you for bringing this to my attention.

My jaw hit the floor.
