I hadn't heard of this case but it indicates the length Labour members will go to. This dates from March 2023, perhaps KS's new tack is being taken notice of.

Thank you @sabfilex @SVPhillimore @democracythree @WeAreFairCop Excellent news: @lbhf has rescinded its "Community Protection Notice" agst me. No more Court action! Thank you all who contributors to appeal. Money will go to similar "free speech" campaigns.

For many years I have pinned posters on my front door supporting the NHS and our local hospital when it was threatened with closure. Starting 3 years ago I added published materials from the websites of Transgender Trend, Sex Matters, Women's Rights Network and a poster explaining why a Ban on Conversion Therapy for Trans would increase existing harms to adolescent girls confused about their sex or “gender”. I displayed a photo of two young girls with scars from a double mastectomy which is circulating on the internet and has been re-tweeted thousand of times. The photo is in the public domain.

The local police have looked at these Gender Critical materials and told me that my materials do not infringe free speech laws and are not “hate crime”.

But the Labour Council, which is a “Stonewall Diversity Champion”, refuses to accept the Police's view. In March 2023 they sent me a Warning letter and in June they sent me a Notice letter with a vaguely worded accusation: “Your Behaviour: Your actions towards sexual orientation and displaying pictures that do not belong to you is a breach of freedom of speech and hate speech” (sic). In the Notice: “[The Council] is satisfied that your persistent and continuing conduct is having a detrimental effect on the public and the LGBT Community”. I contest all of this. I do not want to be silenced for raising the very important issue of sex and "gender".The penalty for not removing my posters is a criminal conviction for failing to obey the Notice and a possible fine up to £2,500. I am having to pay a lawyer to defend me.

Well that was the shortest reverse in history. This is blatant harassment.

That is grim.

Your Behaviour: Your actions towards sexual orientation and displaying pictures that do not belong to you is a breach of freedom of speech and hate speech”

That was written by an imbecile. A breach of freedom of speech?! Sexual orientation?!

She needs to pin the coffee shops mastectomy scars on her front door.

And to the same scale as that of the shops.

She should also hang up that letter with her own commentary added in.

This important case is going to court soon, but the council are now facing the big guns.

Sarah Vine KC, of Doughty Street Chambers, has agreed to represent me PRO-BONO at my hearing to Defend my Innocence at Westminster Magistrates Court on Wed 14th Feb at 10am! This is fantastic news!

Sarah Vine has been involved in a bunch of gender crit cases and looks pretty sure to win another here.

Gardening needed. Spare cash will go to other cases.

Next month after the brutality of this month is over.

I need to consider the equivalent of a Saturday job to have something I can divert to this without a qualm (my own funds, not family money).

I was just thinking the other day that I wish 5 years ago I'd gone to the bookies and asked for odds for all the things we were told would never happen.

Could have made a tidy sum for all the inevitable court cases.

Blimey yes. With enough left over to buy some safe houses and refuge islands.
