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

Its a bit odd that the police are so overstretched they've decided to stop policing crimes, and instead are going all in with the non-crimes.

I imagine Sir Mark is eagerly awaiting his first meeting with new Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood. Which should be something out of Armando Ianucci.

Rowley: Good morning Home Secretary, I understand there are some issues around high profile arrests, but my force is constrained by the law and it's an issue for Parliament to sort out

Mahmood: Just hang on a second Mark, what the fucking fuck do your fuckwit officers think they're playing at

Looks like Sir Mark Rowley, the head of the Met, wants the law/policing changed around online commuications:

Sir Mark Rowley wants to free police from investigating complaints with no evidence of intended real-world harm

Britain’s most senior police officer is to present the new Home Secretary with proposed law changes “within weeks” aimed at stopping officers from policing tweets, the Telegraph can disclose.

Sir Mark Rowley, the head of the Met Police, is proposing a shake-up of legislation that would give officers greater discretion to use “common sense” when deciding whether to record and investigate complaints about comments on social media.

He wants Shabana Mahmood, the new Home Secretary, to change the rules so police officers are not required to record or investigate complaints when there is no evidence the suspect intended real-world harm.

The changes could also significantly reduce the requirement for police to record and attend non-crime hate incidents, which have included cases such as a nine-year-old calling a primary school classmate a “retard”.

AI says:

In England and Wales, a person can be declared a vexatious litigant under Section 42 of the Senior Courts Act 1981. The process is initiated by the Attorney General, not an individual, and requires the High Court to find that the person has "habitually and persistently and without any reasonable ground" instituted vexatious legal proceedings. This is a severe and uncommon action, meant to address a long-term abuse of the court system.

So that would suggest it's up to Sir Keir's mate Lord Hermer.

What is mean is - who makes the charge?

Policing in the UK is not derived from top down authoritative power. It comes from consensus from the public.

It should be about what the public want and consent to NOT what the police want to police.

They've forgotten who they serve.

On the technical end I dont think anyone can claim that a judge makes the case of a person being a vexatious litigant.

The vexatious litigant makes the case by action and filing eg filing multiple cases one after the other with poor evidence etc after been told by the Courts that there is no substantive case with a vague hope that the underlying law will change.

But one thing the court cases will do is force the various police bodies to have a serious look at what they want to be policing. Or more importantly what they want to be seen to be policing.

The senoir officers need to bring the public with them when it comes to dealing with public order on the streets. The balance of scale in not using someones name correctly as a insult to that person against someone using SM to organise a riot or murder people is why they are making moves to have the laws changed.

Where has Felix got to?

Used to be very keen on copsplaining "malicious communications".

Maybe one of our resident scolders can come along and enlighten us.

It would be a judge who would make the case of a person being a vexatious litigant, I assume?

I don't think that a lot of these people actually find it offensive.I genuinely think it is about compelling others to obey/submit and/or conceal something more than your sex and/or being in control.

The common theme Ive noticed with a lot of the most batshit stuff, is that being right or reasoned doesn't matter. The method doesn't matter. Ethics? The only thing that matters is winning and dominating others at all costs.

Its not normal to get that upset when someone gets your name wrong. I don't think its an 'alarm and distress thing'. Not wishing to use pronouns or new names is about this 'winning'.

We are told they haven't changed, its just their body that was wrong. One of the things that constantly got said to me was "but he's still the same person", but thats just it, you are supposed to treat them as if they are completely new people and in a different way. You are supposed to treat in line with gender stereotypes in many cases. Its trying to control other peoples behaviour, in multiple ways. In practical terms they are not the same person and thats the point and problem.

I've always been struck by how I felt in my early twenties about wanting to 'escape' my past. This was after having a lot of resentment at being female. It took me to the other side of the world. I wanted to reinvent myself. I saw so many elements of the same in my brother. Its in line with a history of trauma - it could very much be a trauma response. Its part of identify formation, coming of age and becoming independant of parents; its a natural process that can be bumpier for some than others.

But we shouldn't see this as one dimensional. It can be multi faceted and thats where it can get sticky. Its more understandable if that reasoning is trauma or related to neurodiversity, but its not the only reason.

It is very curious to see who seems to currently engaging most in SLAPPing techniques in transgender circles presently. What unites them other than that?

The room keeps getting filled with large grey mammals.

It is quite the mantrum.

I'd like to know which criminal offences "deadnaming" and "misgendering" (correctly sexing) come under.

Looks like his ranty thread hasn't garnered much reaction so far. Poor "Linsay"...
