Harry the owl visited by police

[Imnobody4]

This whole hate speech/incident law is completely out of control. This is sinister.

Its a shame, although not a surprise, that the rights of women and children are not featuring as much in discussions, especially those led by males. The choice of focus made by media is worth watching.

Yes, but the two discussions are not mutually exclusive. To discuss the rights women and children you need free speech. And at the moment we, and Harry, don’t seem to have it.

There will be plenty of people who have not really thought about genderism, who grasp the threat to free speech. Once we have this, we can have open debate and there will be better awareness of the risks/costs of self-I’d.

The silencing of women and men by transactivists isn't solely about free speech. Its been caused by lobbying, propaganda, misogyny and powerful interest groups

Of course the two conversations are not mutually exclusive. If the context is lost though then the risks to Safeguarding of children and damage to the rights of women continue.

There's as always a wider context to consider.

There's a risk that this becomes all about free speech and in the current political turmoil that may have significant implications.

They really aren't letting go. The ridicule has spilled into other humberpolice twitter threads.

I think any woke police force will have to think long and hard if they don't want to attract this sort of attention.

This made me laugh a lot

Do you think Humberside Police and the Commisioner might be having emergency meetings tomorrow?

I wonder if Stonewall etc who have provided the training for police have advanced guidance. I don't think acceptance without exception or #nodebate will suffice.

Although they do have access to a lot of resouces:

Oh, I can't resist.

There was a young robber from Hull
Who had a pink brain in zir skull
Said "I'm an offender
But please don't misgender
Or I'll have to call Constable Gul"

(Please feel free to use. I'll be waiting over here for extradition. )

I think Keith Hunter has signed up to a blocklist. If anyone here knows they are on terfblocker etc but haven’t interacted with Keith or humberside, can you see if you’ve been blocked by him?

Yes, Ive never interacted with him but I'm blocked.

“Hey less of idiot police officer ....”

Hey less of the thin-skinned indignance, thanks.

As Keith Hunter is a publicly funded representative in role where he is expected to listen to/consult with the local population & he’s using Twitter as a communication tool in that capacity, is it even legal for him (and others in similar roles) to use mass blockers like this? It’s certainly undemocratic. 😠

I'm not blocked by him - so he's not using Terfblocker. There are others though.

There is something a bit concerning about a Police Commissioner blocking people - I can't quite put my finger on it. He's in public office, and using his 'personal' twitter to answer in a professional capacity. Seems wrong that he can block genuinely concerned citizens, with legitimate questions.

Didn't some guy in the US go to court about Donald Trump blocking him, and win? As a US citizen it was considered unconstitutional for the US President to block him.

I don't know what the answer is (there probably isn't one) but elected officials blocking people with legitimate concerns about their behaviour in office makes me feel uneasy. How are these people held to account?

I was blocked by Edward Lord for asking a legitimate question. These men are untouchable.

Here’s my effort:

There once was some training from Stonewall
That caused PC Gul to Call
A man who’d just shared a link
And tell him how he was to think
It’s Mermaids thought control for us all

I’m not on twitter, if you are feel free to share with Keith and Humberside, no credit needed

The ratios on the humberside police tweet are bad, but some of the replies are heartbreaking

She used to have an account with a very large following and got banned.

She is certainly not a fan of gender ideology or PC ness.

That tweet would explain it, that is tragic

Pain That is so sad. And could there be a more tragic illustration of how far the police have strayed from their primary purpose?
This one needs raising in parliament.
Limericks are fun but the whole situation is beyond ridiculous and really not funny.

Not blocked, so, as above, he is not using terfblocker.

I'm not blocked. The Commissioner is rightly being taken to task over his "Its been great fun on twitter today." comment

I don’t think I’m on terfblocker but I’m sure I’m on some sort of list as I’m blocked by Rachel McKinnon, Parker molloy and others, without having interacted with them. Just wondering if that’s what Keith hunter is using too.

I'm not on any terf blocker lists. I don't follow anyone, I don't tweet, I just potter about.
I've liked a couple of tweets on the humberside page and he's blocked me! He must be doing it individually. Tragic.

Off to bitch to all my police friends.

McKinnon's tweets are protected. Is that the same as being blocked?

yeah, I'm not blocked and am definitely on some block lists, so he's not using whatever I'm on.

that screen shot PainInTheEar jesus

PC Gul is being pilloried here - but there are other really serious questions to be asked.

Who in Humberside Police organised and which organisation supplied the training session that informed PC Gul (and presumably their colleagues) that lady brains were real?

Maybe this is something you could follow up on, Harry, as you're clearly on a roll?

Good questions Timelady presumably public money paid for this indoctrination? That is worthy of an inquiry.

I'm still unclear exactly why Humberside police are even involved.

Neither the complainant nor the alleged perpetrator live in Humberside.

Are people really allowed to "shop around" to find a police force that will actually deal with their complaint? Because that will have huge ramifications if so.
