"Senior police officers who allow this [ misrepresenting hater crime laws ] to happen can expect to have to explain to me why they’re spending vital resources on politically correct campaigns."

Leicestershire police had that 'Jane from Hinckley' post on their Facebook page last week. The commenters were not having any truck with the post at all. It was only up for a few hours before it vanished.

Suella Braverman, defending free speech,

See the post above. That is what is happening.

Out of curiosity, are there examples of Braverman opposing free speech? I am not asking for a list of completely unrelated things she’s done or said that you don’t like. Or a list of dodgy friends or connections she has. I’m specifically asking for examples of her damaging free speech rights. (It may well have happened; I don’t know, @but I suspect you also don’t know.)

FWIW most TRAs have gone down the “free speech is bad actually”route to resolve their cognitive dissonance instead of “people I don’t like can’t be defending free speech.” You might want to update your thinking to the latest version in case you get cancelled!

Thankfully the Lords voted down her predecessors attempts to ban demonstrations that might be a bit noisy, and more relevantly, she didn't like what they were saying. Braverman is going to have another go at shutting down protest and silencing the public.

618,000 women are raped or sexually assaulted in the UK every year.

Less than 1% of rapes reported to the police result in the police bothering to bring a charge against the rapist.

And yet the police are literally advertising for biological men to report women who’ve hurt their feelings by eg using the man’s original name.

The police force needs a complete refresh as to what its actual purpose is. Clue: it is not to arrest women for hurting men’s feelings.

Sorry, it's not a case that the police are "...not bothering to bring a charge against the rapist..." There is a whole range of reasons as to why the charging figures are low - some of it is because the victim doesn't want to pursue it that far. Other reasons are because of evidential difficulties with CPS not supporting a charge.
