New footage of Humzas white speech in Holyrood

https://twitter.com/MrSensible1/status/1775126080447234078?s=19

I've not actually heard that speech before. I knew he'd said something but..
It's the way he spits the word 'white' out.

IW has been tweeting A LOT but I was taken by this one, on the 1st:

'What a sad pathetic sight. The best-known author in the world sitting up all night to write a mega-long troll post about me, because she's consumed by a hatred of trans people. Completely deranged.'

I thought it was puberty blockers that are evidenced to reduce cognitive ability. Leaving aside the odd self-centring, as if JKR's move wasn't worked out in advance, with intelligent input from like-minded people and the best legal advice money could buy.

Absolutely. She's not doing this alone, I like to think of her at the centre of all these brilliant women, many of whom we will know of, working things out like a game of chess.

While its great news she has shown what is not hatred, I'm just waiting for it to be framed as a one rule for the rich and famous, another for the unknown woman with everything to lose which undoubtedly will happen. Some think thats how the football act got so many spurious prosecutions.

JKR has said she will repeat the words of any women prosecuted so they have to prosecute her too. She has backed the police into a corner. If they try to take down any woman they will have to take on JKR too.

How long before the TRAs go after Humza?
It's what they do when things don't go the way they expected.
I wonder if he'll peak?

Edited

Oh come on now! He's in so far above his balls he's drowning already.

Boiledbeetle · 02/04/2024 21:36

DEFIANCE

On April the first JKR tweeted
and god how the TRAs bleated.
They whinged and they whined,
they cursed and opined,
as they filed a complaint straight away.

Bet they were pissed off today!

I hope this serves as notice to various English police forces that the way they have been persecuting women on the say-so of those who claim to have been the victims of hate crimes and so on is not acceptable.

We shall see < cough bobble hat cough >

IW obviously not pleased 😢

I wonder if any of the complainants who've been told 'no' will try to escalate it? Demand to see the manager so to speak.

I don't use that term for women, but at least I'm acknowledging India's gender.

I think it's some sort of 'agreed' editorial code?

JK being denounced by people who literally covered up rape at the top of their own organisation. Some people have either no self-awareness or no shame.

The ridiculous yet deeply sinister Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act has criminalised any speech which could be construed as 'stirring up hatred'. It introduces offences for threatening or abusive behaviour which previously only applied to race, but is now extended to any “protected characteristic” including age, disability, sexual orientation and transgender identity.

Is age included?

It's not available for selection on the form

I admire how she puts herself in the firing line. How can they go for poorer women without her power and influence? She's protecting them. I know she makes a joke of it, but it's actually incredibly moving.

Yes precisely. This is someone with money putting herself in the firing line for people without it. She is a hero.

Any protected characteristic apart from sex.

I do hope she read these messages of support. I am so incredibly in awe of her. What an absolute powerhouse of a woman. I wish I was as brave as her.

Is it hyperbole about the near 3800 online complaints in the 'past 24 hrs' or ballpark?

Because if it's the latter, hats off to Police Scotland for rattling through near 2000 of them. Do we detect an AI support system at work to make these assessments and have them signed off by a human Hate Champion?

I noticed this too why are not all the protected characteristics listed? It's almost like there's a hierarchy. 🤔
