Retired police officer visited by police for missing the A off Freda Wallace's first name

Thank you, I'd actually recently bought that as an Ebook but hadn't got to that bit yet.
Yes- there it is. It was a bit less harsh : ' Batley people are weird', and said in a private convo with her father. The bit about Birmingham was to Leadbeater though ( who I suspect has probably lost the constituency with that horrible assissted dying bill) . But definitely revealing about her ability to cut to the chase on sensitive issues.

I'm sorry for seeming interrogating : I'm quite interested in Shabana's rise & curious as the source wasn't avaliable on the Web. I apologise for the bother.

Quoted in the book "Get In" by Patrick Maguire and Gabriel Pogrund.

Is there any particular reason why you're reanimating zombie threads to interrogate me?

Shabana definitely criticised Muslims' attitude to Galloway in Batley & Spen, but I don't think she said anything like that.

According to Sky News:
The MP Shabana Mahmood, Labour’s national campaign coordinator, told Sky News the party did secure the support of the Muslim community in Batley and Spen but had some “significant issues”. She said: “George Galloway was able to go in and spread a politics of fear amongst people. We also had a lot of propaganda spreading about Labour’s position on some issues across WhatsApp and other social media platforms and we had to challenge that.”

Did she say that? I'm a Shabanna fan and could definitely imagine her saying something similarly frank, but goggling that quote only produces this thread.

And another one:

"BREAKING: @LincsPolice have recorded a hate crime against @HarryTheOwl101 for the offence of stalking Lynsay Watson.

If the police think Harry is going to shrug his shoulders, they might like to think again."

"I found out today that the police hold some information on me that prevented me from doing something today.

This is despite me never being contacted by the police over anything.

Link to accessing information the police have on you:

acro.police.uk/s/acro-service…

I’m fuming.
This is for England, other UK links in next post."

Will Lynsay also be reporting Freda,I wonder?

Isn't that the irony. Women face so much hate and violence it's impossible to police and besides they're only women, it's an intractable problem and we're better off hunting the real criminals - ironically women who won't do what they're told and call men women.

Yes. I remember when it was introduced and there was a bit of a hoo-ha about women not being included, and - I am most certainly not kidding - the reason given was that there was so much non-crime hate aimed at women it would be impossible to police.

So they went for an easier group to protect.

But Rache is German for revenge ....

Yep no point in leaving the alleged victim (who kept looking at your account to know they are blocked) with open access to carryout acts of "selfharm" by reading anything

Well yes, if the police have just contacted you in relation to being taken to court over tweets to you, then yep would.

Ray is a shortened version of Rachel that is used sometimes (not often).

I first thought it might be a Blade Runner reference, then I wondered if it was an anime reference...

https://anilist.co/anime/99629/Satsuriku-no-Tenshi/

'13-year old Rachel awakens to find herself trapped in the basement of an abandoned building. Without any memories, or even a clue as to where she could be, she wanders the building, lost and dizzy. In her search, she comes across a man covered in bandages. He introduces himself as Zack and he wields a grim-reaper like sickle.'

I’m always curious as to why so many of these trans identified men call themselves Rachel.

now I’m thinking they like the name Rachel because it’s hard to shorten & there is no male equivalent.

That doesn’t really make clear that you should report a hate crime if, but only if, an actual crime has been committed against someone who appears to have any of those characteristics. I’d have thought a neighbourhood watch group would be reporting crimes in general anyway.

I thought Priti Patel when she was Home Sec had told the plod to stop wasting time on Non Crime Hate Incidents, but they seem to have ignored her and brought them back in through the back door.

I thought so too.

The timing is certainly interesting. They received the complaint last November, but chose to visit her just as Linehan’s arrest is making headline news.

Because they have wankers (who shall not be otherwise named) filing reports that person A typed word about person B which may meet the definition of a "Malicious Communication" under the Act.

They are therefore obliged to make an initial investigation before the report can be dismissed.

The police know that a woman worried about being battered is unlikely to have the spare time or money to go to the courts to have the process of how her complaint was handled [ investigated and independently reviewed. (edited to finish a thought🙃) ]

In these cases TRA are weaponising the process forcing the police system into a bureaucratic loop and the senior officers are looking for a way to break the loop.

If its changed it also allows activist police to be told to sit down and do some "real" police work rather than bully the public for having opinions and for being rude online.

This break will also have a negitive impact on women (and men) who have a genuine problem with a stalker/abuser using SM to harrass them as it will give individual police an out for poor policing.

I don’t understand.

I am absolutely positive that many, many reports to police would have been made by women who received death and rape threats, threats of violence, and have had calls for violence wished upon them.

These tweets/emails/videos/etc have been completely dismissed by police - often with them not even being investigated by police at all, or the female being told to ‘just get off twitter/x and not read the abuse’.

Why could the police use their discretion to dismiss women’s (legitimate and evidenced) concerns and complaints, yet they are now saying that a law change would be required to be able to use discretion?

Have Felix and Lindsay ever been seen together? Just wondering if we have 1 or 2 here?

So none of the other protected characteristics, and a made up one.

Stonewall Law by the back door.

I received this from Neighbourhood Watch last week

Hate Crime
A hate crime is committed when a person is targeted due to their disability, race, religion, sexual orientation or gender identity.
Hate crime will never be tolerated.
If you’re a victim or witness a hate crime, we want you to tell us about it.
You can report:
online: https://orlo.uk/b8J6n
Via our 101 non-emergency number or 999 in an emergency.
Every report made helps us to better protect our communities and catch criminals. Nothing is too small to report.

At the bottom of the message is "ALWAYS REPORT HATE CRIME"

🤣🤣🤣
🤷‍♀️

Political issues aside and slightly tongue in cheek imagine if Tommy Robinson took offence to be called SLL, I bet the police would knock on a few doors. Well no I don't, it's only one group of people who can be offended and get the law involved.
