There have been a lot of threads recently about police visiting people for expressing perfectly legal gender critical opinions online. I’m thinking about the case of harry the owl in particular. This seems to be silencing people creating a chilling effect. The police seem to be doing this even when they fully acknowledge no crime has been committed and talk of using police interviews to check people’s thinking. This is what I have read here anyway. So if this is true then I think most people would agree that free speech is important and that the police force shouldn’t use their office to back one side of a contentious political debate and should be impartial upholders of the law. I think there must be dozens of Tory MPs who would agree if only they knew that this was going on. A petition that would have to be debated in parliament would help alert and inform them. Does such a petition exist and if not could some talented articulate writer please create one? I’d love MPs to debate this.
