Retired police officer visited by police for missing the A off Freda Wallace's first name

[Charabanc]

JFK, I would say you couldn't make this up, but you could. In fact you don't have to. We know it's been happening.

The usual suspects are involved. And hopefully, after Glinner's court case this week, their names and activities will become more well-known.

The former superintendent said police informed her that the home visit was related to a handful of social media posts about a transgender activist named Freda Wallace.

Ms Larkam had called the activist Fred, using the “dead” male name of the now transgender woman, and this act had been reported to the police.
...
It is believed that Ms Larkman was reported by a disgraced transgender police officer named Lynsay Watson – a figure with a history of urging the authorities to pursue criminal investigations of people who are critical of gender ideology.

Watson, born Alex Horwood, is believed to have also reported Linehan to the police over several social media posts last week.

ETA: Gah flipping MN link rendering! Got there in the end.

I’m always curious as to why so many of these trans identified men call themselves Rachel.

now I’m thinking they like the name Rachel because it’s hard to shorten & there is no male equivalent.

I first thought it might be a Blade Runner reference, then I wondered if it was an anime reference...

'13-year old Rachel awakens to find herself trapped in the basement of an abandoned building. Without any memories, or even a clue as to where she could be, she wanders the building, lost and dizzy. In her search, she comes across a man covered in bandages. He introduces himself as Zack and he wields a grim-reaper like sickle.'

Ray is a shortened version of Rachel that is used sometimes (not often).

Well yes, if the police have just contacted you in relation to being taken to court over tweets to you, then yep would.

Yep no point in leaving the alleged victim (who kept looking at your account to know they are blocked) with open access to carryout acts of "selfharm" by reading anything

But Rache is German for revenge ....

Yes. I remember when it was introduced and there was a bit of a hoo-ha about women not being included, and - I am most certainly not kidding - the reason given was that there was so much non-crime hate aimed at women it would be impossible to police.

So they went for an easier group to protect.

Isn't that the irony. Women face so much hate and violence it's impossible to police and besides they're only women, it's an intractable problem and we're better off hunting the real criminals - ironically women who won't do what they're told and call men women.

Will Lynsay also be reporting Freda,I wonder?

"I found out today that the police hold some information on me that prevented me from doing something today.

This is despite me never being contacted by the police over anything.

Link to accessing information the police have on you:

I’m fuming.
This is for England, other UK links in next post."

And another one:

"BREAKING: @LincsPolice have recorded a hate crime against @HarryTheOwl101 for the offence of stalking Lynsay Watson.

If the police think Harry is going to shrug his shoulders, they might like to think again."

Did she say that? I'm a Shabanna fan and could definitely imagine her saying something similarly frank, but goggling that quote only produces this thread.

Shabana definitely criticised Muslims' attitude to Galloway in Batley & Spen, but I don't think she said anything like that.

According to Sky News:
The MP Shabana Mahmood, Labour’s national campaign coordinator, told Sky News the party did secure the support of the Muslim community in Batley and Spen but had some “significant issues”. She said: “George Galloway was able to go in and spread a politics of fear amongst people. We also had a lot of propaganda spreading about Labour’s position on some issues across WhatsApp and other social media platforms and we had to challenge that.”

Quoted in the book "Get In" by Patrick Maguire and Gabriel Pogrund.

Is there any particular reason why you're reanimating zombie threads to interrogate me?

Thank you, I'd actually recently bought that as an Ebook but hadn't got to that bit yet.
Yes- there it is. It was a bit less harsh : ' Batley people are weird', and said in a private convo with her father. The bit about Birmingham was to Leadbeater though ( who I suspect has probably lost the constituency with that horrible assissted dying bill) . But definitely revealing about her ability to cut to the chase on sensitive issues.

I'm sorry for seeming interrogating : I'm quite interested in Shabana's rise & curious as the source wasn't avaliable on the Web. I apologise for the bother.
