...or a rise in the reporting of such things?

(which in the case of hate incidents, is the same thing.)

CaptainKirksSpikeyGhost · 20/11/2019 13:00

But is that a rise in hate crime or hate incidents?

For point of argument in a "rise" it doesn't matter, m'lord.

CaptainKirksSpikeyGhost · 20/11/2019 12:56

Surely the massive rise in "Hate crime" would suggest it doesn't actually work?

MockersFactCheckMN · 20/11/2019 12:55

The "Prevention of Escalation" argument is very much the one where the commuter is ripping strips off his newspaper, rolling them up and throwing them out of the window.

"It's to stop the elephants getting on the track," he explains. Someone objects: "But this is Surrey. There are no elephants."

"I know," he says, "effective, isn't it?"

@ScrimshawTheSecond yes, and the dunking-stool.

"Stop looking at my pint or I'll punch you"
"It's a free country, I can look at a......". (Gets punched)
"But officer, if he was scared of being punched he would have stopped looking at my pint"
Police officer "yes, why WERE you looking at his pint??"

Is there a similar derogatory word used by someone who thinks transwomen are women, to describe someone who thinks transwomen are men but who is not a feminist?

Eg someone who thinks women should not work, and simultaneously holds the view that 'woman' is an adult human female?

Someone called "the secret journalist" has tweeted "i have tested this system personally for journalistic means. I have 4 "hate incidents" recorded against others. Which is ridiculous."
"They were all MPs I should add"

nauticant · 20/11/2019 12:43

Ahh, but if it's the tweet I think it is then it's most definitely ironic.

MockersFactCheckMN · 20/11/2019 12:43

Witch-Pricking?

We look forward to the introduction of the transphobia ducking stool: Float and you're guilty. Drown, you're innocent.

nauticant · 20/11/2019 12:41

Unpleasant but that could be productive. Once they turn their narcissistic bullying onto members of the Establishment that will get them scrutiny they will definitely regret.

CaptainKirksSpikeyGhost · 20/11/2019 12:40

Someone on the twitter feed has called the judge a t-word.

Of course they did, it's probably the first time they've be told "no, the law actually applies to you too"

ScrimshawTheSecond · 20/11/2019 12:33

ForeverFaff, sort of like witch pricking?

Nah - 2boysandaCairn is out saving the world today, whilst simultaneously sorting 500 charity bags Grin

Datun · 20/11/2019 12:30

Now they are trying to decide where this power to record a 'hate incident' has come from?

I think Harry argued that it is guidelines, not law?

LangCleg · 20/11/2019 12:25

I hope 2BoysandaCairn is reading this and learning

I like your optimism!

BovaryX · 20/11/2019 12:15

freedom of speech is not there to protect statements such as ‘kittens are fluffy’

This judge is great!

AutumnCrow · 20/11/2019 12:15

Now on to police powers, and how they can derive from common law but need to be compatible with human rights law and proportionate

ProfessorSlocombe · 20/11/2019 12:14

Datun · 20/11/2019 12:12

I can't help thinking it's awful that we are so surprised and not a little grateful, to find a judge who actually understands the difference between fact and fiction.

And, almost more to the point, who isn't frightened of the trans lobby.

Aposterhasnoname · 20/11/2019 12:10

Thank god for a judge that actually gets it!

Michelleoftheresistance · 20/11/2019 12:07

The right to speak the objective, factual truth in all circumstances whether or not it is distressing to some.

Yes. This. This please.

This judge and Maya's need to compare notes.

terfsandwich · 20/11/2019 12:01

Wow what a savvy judge. Its nearly midnight here and I should be asleep but I am riveted!

Great live tweeting too.
