Thread to keep track of people questioned by police for thought crime

[RoyalCorgi]

I thought it would be useful if we recorded everyone who'd been questioned by the police for thinking the wrong things or expressing the wrong opinions in the same place so we had something we could refer back to. I'll start with:

Nicola Murray, questioned by police for saying Brodie's Trust would no longer refer women to Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre.

Jen Swayne, for posting feminist stickers in Newport and owning an academic book by Heather Brunskell-Evans.

A woman (possibly several women) for writing a letter expressing safeguarding concerns to Girlguiding.

Ceri Black for writing a thread about child safeguarding on Twitter.

Marion Millar for tweeting a picture of a suffragette ribbon.

Harry Miller for tweeting a slightly rude poem.

Kate Scottow for being a bit rude towards Steph Hayden on Twitter.

Graham Linehan, also, I think, for being rude to Hayden.

Do add more - I'm sure there are others I've forgotten.

Stella Perrett: cartoonist:

“My ‘controversial’ cartoon was reported to my local force police, but the police never informed me: I only found out after a reporter from the Mail on Sunday approached Avon and Somerset Police on my behalf. They finally provided a one-paragraph email response that the NCHI complaint did exist, but that no action had yet been taken.'

There’s a man from a university- i want to say stoke? Saw it on twitter, might not have been the police but I think he’s been investigated by the uni.

Are we doing outwith the UK?

Rob Hoogland, in Canada - jailed.

'Robert Hoogland was arrested at the British Columbia Supreme Court in Vancouver for speaking against court-ordered testosterone injections for his teenage daughter.'

Women thrown out of pub, police called for the offence of "having a meal and a chat whilst being female" after seeing an (excellent) feminist Fringe show in Edinburgh.

Paper had to add edit to correct the pronouns of the person who called the police.

The police took the trouble to identify the owner of a vehicle "seen in the vicinity of some feminist chalking" and then call at his house to invite him to "make a statement" .

Not mentioned if they thought he might be a perp or a witness. If the latter then Stasi-level policing, or what?

And before our resident "legal expert on vandalism" pipes up: how often do the police take the trouble to do that for non-feminist "vandalism" (chalking, stickering, etc.)?

"2 officers appeared on my doorstep after my car was seen in the vicinity of some feminist chalking & they invited me down to the police station to make a statement. Needless to say I declined their offer."

I wonder what that detective work (contacting DVLC), then sending two police officers out, then writing up the reports cost?

I wonder how how the police might have better spent their time solving non-feminist actual "crimes"?? Like rape, for example.

I bet they log all the time and money they spend on persecuting women's rights activists to imaginary "transphobic hate crime".

Interesting to note the trend in countries where self-ID is law. Canada was listed above, and Norway has moved beyond arrests and sinister chats to punishment.

Norway imprisoned and fined a man for being rude in a Facebook row.

Bloody hell, that's chilling.

And meanwhile, in the real world. Front page is Monday's Times

This is terrifying. Unimaginable.

Has anyone mentioned the House of Lords Four? As discussed here in Private Eye.

Warning letters to four peers for raising questions about trans inmates in women's prisons.

Holy fuck. That's outrageous.

It's staggering that the standards commissioner thought sending warning letters was an appropriate course of action to take. That is quite frightening.
