The people who invented the finest language on earth now consign it to the scrap heap of history. Churchill's great grandson could write a new book, the Decline and Fall of the English Speaking Peoples.
Arrested for calling a tail a tail.
If people will not finally revolt, its over for intelligent civilization.
Putting something like that online is just plain stoopid. Also, her “reps” should be horsewhipped.
Where did this happen? North Korea?
“Nobody has the right to not be offended. That right doesn’t exist in any declaration I have ever read.
If you are offended it is your problem, and frankly lots of things offend lots of people.
I can walk into a bookshop and point out a number of books that I find very unattractive in what they say. But it doesn’t occur to me to burn the bookshop down. If you don’t like a book, read another book. If you start reading a book and you decide you don’t like it, nobody is telling you to finish it.
To read a 600-page novel and then say that it has deeply offended you: well, you have done a lot of work to be offended.” - Salman Rushdie
So now, in England, you can be arrested for telling the truth about someone - that the person is a man no matter how they “identify” - in a conversation? Are atheists now required to affirm the religious beliefs of Christians which they think aren’t true? Of course not.
So when will the British revolt and demand a constitution that assures them the right to differ?
Reading the story, I get a very different picture of what this is all about. According to the headline, it’s about a woman being arrested for refusing to call a transgender person by their preferred gender, but according to the linked article, the transgender person says she was falsely accused of serious criminal activity, which would be slander, not that “she” was “misgendered.” So I’m confused.
Homosexual activists are basically your social equivalent of an active mass shooter.
These people need to be put down with prejudice.
Good luck, Boris.
Unbelievable that you can get arrested for calling someone what they are. Even if she meant it to be mean getting arrested for calling someone a man is so over the top. Talk about a protected class.
She has a right to a fair trial, the story asserts, rather ominously.
Therefore “it is important that there be no reporting, commentary, or sharing of information online which could in any way”... be perceived as a groundswell of support for the accused or resistance to tyranny.
This is terrifying.
Trannies are the new sacred cows. Er....Bulls. Er.....
Think the Brits would arrest one of their own Paki Moslems if they were guilty of the same thing but claimed to be simply following Allah? Not a chance.
The UK and Sweden are neck and neck for the distinction of being most wussified nation on earth.

This is probably changing the subject, but what’s the fine for sticking your tongue out at someone?
What are you people on about? This person has ‘received a gender recognition certificate’. How many of you have one of those? Sheesh.
They will send her to an 85% Muslim prision probably.
Madness.
Absolute Madness.
Will there be a Great Britain in 100 years? 50? 20?
