So an English woman threatened by the police for exercising free speech in England...good. Qatar not allowing Rainbow flags in THEIR country...bad.

You were attacked by a pro-Trans group? Well, you could be arrested for that, you know ...

We want you to come down for an interview — it’s completely voluntary. But, if you don’t come down, we shall arrest you ...

I keep thinking of the Solzhenitsyn quote, “Oh how we burned in our beds ...”

There is no free speech in the UK. At times there is even thought control (as it might be in this case, where it sounds like the woman was merely “thinking” of stirring up trouble).

As a follow-on comment to there being no free speech in the UK, I’m sure we can all recall hearing about some Christian minister who was arrested for quoting Scriptures that say homosexuality is an abomination.

A comment at the link...

“Women have no rights anymore.”

They’re starting to get it over there, too.

Which is why Deep States, plural, have to steal elections.

And, in the UK’s case, refuse to hold them.

Why did we needlessly sacrifice American lives to defend the UK in WWII?

Can’t say about UK ...

In USA, women, as a group, have voted for Democrats more often than not. Democrats are the driving force behind the misogynistic “transgender” ideology.

Looks like they’re getting what they voted for.

I have been a fan of 19th and 20th century British lit and 20th and some 21rst century British television.

One can see so very subtly how the British hsve turned into the messes that they are.

Their self blame and focus on feelings over fact started a while back. Coupled with their propensity for bureaucratic rules following cinched it.

JK Rowling pays tribute to politicians who wore suffragette colours at Holyrood and Westminster
https://www.scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/scottish-news/jk-rowling-pays-tribute-politicians-28526287

EXCERPT:

Writing in the Daily Mail, Mr Findlay said: “The ludicrous situation which sees a woman being evicted from a parliamentary debate for wearing a suffragette scarf really isn’t terribly surprising in modern day Scotland.

“It is, in fact, consistent with a belief that SNP and Green members of the committee are hostile towards anyone with concerns about the GRR bill.

“Many campaigners, informed by science, hard evidence and life experience, believe the SNPGreen government to be in the grip of an ideological fervour when it comes to the gender debate.

“As JK Rowling knows all too well, those who oppose the legislation, or even dare to ask questions about it, are shouted down and falsely smeared as TERFs (transexclusionary radical feminists).

“No wonder many women are wary about putting their heads above the parapet in what has become an increasingly toxic and divisive debate.”

No 1st Amendment in Britain. And no “probable cause” clause either.

It’s voluntary in the same way Income Tax is voluntary in this country. You ‘volunteer’ to file and pay or they take away all your money and your stuff.
