Seems Rosie Duffield and Neale Hanvey were also threatened.

The Met Police appear to have dismissed an earlier threat.

Wow, AI is a great poet!

Somanycats · 14/06/2023 22:28

Artificial intelligence just wrote this poem about Joanna
Amidst the halls of power and might,
There stands a woman firm and bright,
With steadfast heart and fiery zeal,
Joanna Cherry, a voice so real.

She speaks for women, their rights and space,
Championing the cause with unwavering grace,
Her words a stirring call to all,
To fight against the injustice of patriarchy's thrall.

But as she stands tall, and speaks her mind,
The cowards and the trolls come out in kind,
Sending death threats and vile abuse,
Their hatred and violence, all on full display.

In the face of such hate, the Metropolitan Police,
Fail to act, and their negligence does not cease,
Ignoring menacing words, and threats so clear,
Allowing those who seek to harm, to come too near.

But Joanna Cherry will not be silenced,
Her spirit unbroken, her will unyielding,
For she knows that in the struggle for justice and right,
We must stand firm, and continue the fight.

So let her voice ring out, clear and strong,
A beacon for all, who have been silenced too long,
For in her courage, we see our own,
A call to arms, for justice to be shown.

The Met:

The Met is policing by consent,
but we all know they are bent.
Violence against women is the rule,
and hate crime reporting is a tool,
to silence women who speak out,
the Met fly flag for men, no doubt.

Harry the owl is tweeting about the progress pride flag being placed in a certain way in tweets is a crime but death threats are not.
Sorry I can’t link I’m a Luddite and new to twitter. He’s got a good point.
worlds gone mad.
Jo cox was murdered in 2016, then the other politician, seems statistically they are at much greater risk of murder than trans people considering they are way less than even 1%of the population.
Someone is going to be seriously hurt if not killed soon.
JC rolled put her head in her hands and shook her head, as most sane people would do listening to a woman who has given birth twice pretending she doesn’t know what sex she is and guessing she might have xy chromosomes. The women is obviously a moron to put it lightly.
Men threatening to kill themselves when they don’t get what they want is abuse tactics.
Then when that doesn’t work they threaten to kill us. Same old story.

wise move

Ereshkigalangcleg · 14/06/2023 20:29

Someone should make a website displaying tweets the police have decided require an interview vs tweets that don't meet the threshold side by side.

Absolutely. Would make a great art exhibition.

Well come on it's not like members of Parliament have been attacked and murdered in the last few years is it?

OH NO HANG ON THAT HAPPENED!

Fucks sake. Are there no depths to which the police won't sink to demonstrate their misogyny and incompetence!

We are all J🍒

don't! it's like Beetlejuice, if you say The Name we'll be 25 pages in with nothing said before we know it

I was thinking the same thing!

I despair. What a time to be raising girls and young women.

Plenty of comments on Twitter to the tune of:

'It's completely unacceptable anyone receives death threats but ....'

Why can't they stop at the first part? They're actually equating her rolling her eyes with death threats. It's absurd, and frankly it's getting dangerous.

So what kind of threats to kill DO the Met take seriously? Is there something wrong with the wording of the threats? Are they not clear or unambiguous enough? Are they “just a joke”?

ArabeIIaScott · 14/06/2023 19:42

'I have left Parliament & London for the week as I have lost all confidence in the@metpoliceuk
to take my safety seriously. Having to explain the threats and the police’s indifference to my husband was quite surreal. Nothing will deter me from defending my rights, the rights of women or the rights of trans people. This chaotic and dangerous movement have made it clear, they have run out of legitimate arguments and are resorting to coercion, hyperbole and threats of extreme violence. There is no place for this behaviour in a democratic society. My sincerest thanks to so many for your generous support'

Well, the thing is, it's 2023 and women have been declared second class citizens, you see.

Where is PC Plod from the Toytown Constabulary when you need him?

I'm sure he could lecture explain to us all why this is absolutely nothing like CF/KJK/MM etc, and nauseam.

I know right? Pops up with astonishing rapidity when malfunctioning partially-sentient support bipeds need to be disciplined, but mysteriously absent when the shoe is on the other foot. Anybody would think they're, um, not impartial.

SideWonder · 14/06/2023 19:09

So Mrs Farrow is surveilled within an inch of her life because she might be a stalker, but the deranged individual dealing out death threats to Members of Parliament the police throw up their hands?

On the grounds of threatening our democracy it’s outrageous. That’s before we get to the terrorism of threatening individuals for perfectly lawful beliefs.
