Harry Miller describes how his life has been upended and how he and his family have been subjected to threats on social media. He describes the absurd crime non crime category as double think at its finest

Fighting this has put me and my family in the public spotlight and our finances at significant risk... I suffered extreme mental distress as I struggled to balance doing the right thing with defending my family

Meanwhile, on the anniversary of George Orwell's death, Dorian Lynskey makes this comment about there being no laws in Orwell's dystopia:

How can you have a police state without any laws? The idea is that at least with laws, even in an authoritarian state, people know what they are and can measure their behaviour against them

I could open it

I'll be clearer - I could open the article but it wasn't shared, so I was being asked to subscribe to read in full.

Until the police get their heads out of their orifices and start visiting those who issue threats (and not those who state biology) then this will get worse until someone is killed - and the victims family made to apologise to the murdered a for hurting their feelings. Big red letter posters, public humiliation...

BovaryX Just as a heads up, I couldn't open the article from the most recent link you posted, and looking at the link Uncompromising posted, yours looks like it's missing a bunch of numbers at the end.

Cheers for the thread tho Brew

A brave man, I wish him well. Perhaps we should all stop being quite and get the bullies out of the playground.
Are we sheep or sheepdogs?

If you look under the photo you'll see the word share and 3 logos. Click on the little envelope and that will take you to a pre set email option. Just cut and paste the link in that and it will post as a share token.
