Harry miller arrested

Imagine if misogyny were a hate crime, the police force would collapse under the strain.

@commonsense61 I really don't know. Reading up on the definition of hate non-crime/incident might explain it, but even the police don't seem to understand so I doubt it's very clear. In the video the policeman said that the reason the guy is in cuffs and not HM or LF is because someone had seen his post and it made them anxious. The police didn't seem bothered about who shared it, but it becomes a police issue if someone reports it for hurt feelings.

*Rather an ironic post given the original was about posting a swastika [made out of trans flags]!

It’s not the post that’s ironic, it’s the reaction of the TRAs and the police to the original image that’s ironic.

A judge made the same comparison due to the police behaving like they did here.

Mr Justice Julian Knowles ruled: “The effect of the police turning up at [Miller’s] place of work because of his political opinions must not be under-estimated.

“To do so would be to undervalue a cardinal democratic freedom. In this country we have never had a Cheka, a Gestapo or a Stasi.

“We have never lived in an Orwellian society.”

The police here turned up to this man's house to have words because his social media post had 'caused someone anxiety'.

I wonder what women who are threatened with death, rape and bombs have to do to get the police to take them seriously? They're advised to come off social media if death and rape threats are too much for them, yet if a man gets hurty feelz, they'll send 3 officers in vans to deal with it.

I think it is fair to say that whomever the designer of that flag is, he or she is not quite top notch.

Or in fact posting an arrangement of pride flags that looked like a swastika.
I thought it was class 101 of design to see if your image could be arranged to make something like that then redesign.

Rather an ironic post given the original was about posting a swastika!

Does anyone wonder if a time machine has been built, and the gestapo have infiltrated the police in the UK?

That's what it appears to me, from over here in Australia.

Very chilling indeed to see this unfold. History repeating itself.

Sharing the image doesn't seem to be the crime. The hate crime/incident occurs if someone sees it shared and is offended. HM and LF admitted to the police that they had both shared the image.

As far as we know the original photographer of the image has not been arrested/spoken to, bit like when harry was told to check his thinking for retweeting a limerick. Again as far as we know the writer of the limerick was never told to check their thinking.
It seems if you are too hard to find/use aliases/hide your online presence the police aren't bothered. But surely the bigger crime is making the image/limerick in the first place, to be clear I dont think it's a crime.
Why would you also only try to re-educate one out of potentially millions of people who retweeted an image or limerick?
Looks a lot like bullying to me. Pick on the one who probably wont fight back, send a message to all Terven, it wont work unless the thing is in fact illegal.

Someone posted it at the beginning of this thread, should they be worried? Should MN be worried? I hope not, offensive or not, I find the thought that they might have to be worried offensive.

Also, apparently the flags are designed so that when you just lay them down a certain way (without interfering or doctoring them at all) they form a swastika.

Even more interestingly, the chappie who got arrested was apparently not the person who took the photo of the offending flags. The chappie was apparently arrested for retweeting the photo of the offending flags.

Yes, this. People have this issue with comparisons a lot, they don't seem to understand that they are always qualified, because the nature of a comparison is that you are talking about two different things.

Sometimes very different, the similarities may be fairly limited and specific.

Does he know who reported him? Was it a Tory MP?

Works for me, I'm keeping my eyes on the prize.

@antelopevalley
thanks for your reply. If you say you’re not a TRA then I believe you.

however I must say that - on this thread at least - you are looking like a TRA and quacking like a TRA.

The way some 'trans activists' behave towards gender heretics, they 100% would have been loyal party members 90 years ago. It's the same kind of mentality.

Well, I would say refraining from sterilising children is definitely a vote winner.

They have not come to their senses, they just do not give a shit about LGBT. They will enact whatever will get them votes.

The conservatives were the ones originally planning to introduce self id.

If the Conservatives are going to come to their senses and drop a regressive and harmful ideology because they now recognise it as such, that works for me. We need to get away from the thinking that only those who have been pure for ever are allowed to contribute to the debate.

I thought the Conservative Party said they were going to stop this shit.🙄
