J.K. Rowling Dares Scottish Police to Arrest Her over Transgender Criticism as New Hate Crime Law Comes Into Effect
Breitbart ^ | 04/01/2024 | Kurt Zindulka

Author and outspoken feminist J.K. Rowling has dared police in Scotland to arrest her for criticising transgender ideology as the country’s controversial hate crime legislation came into effect on Monday.

Rowling, who resides in Scotland, has warned that the leftist-separatist Scottish National Party government’s new Hate Crime and Public Order Act will have a stifling effect on freedom of speech and vowed to continue espousing her belief that men cannot become women.

Could Britain be any worse off today if Hitler had won the Battle of Britain?

Not a fan of her work, but she’s absolutely doing the right thing here. Any bets on what the state will do? My nickel says they DO arrest her, and bank on the event fading into the mist of a society that is constantly distracted by Important New Information 24/7....

Yep. Most who have made as much as her have done so because they are sniveling cowards, intent to make it into the club of the powerful and not rock the boat for anything.

Hitler had plans to execute the entire male population and use the women as concubines. So, yeah, probably not.

Stating provable fact is a hate crime. Unbelievable. So if a human says he is a giraffe, you must accept that or it’s a hate crime. I see Scotland has the same problem here, morons electing morons into office.

Compelled / compulsory speech

Pretty sure that’s the opposite of free speech

I am certainly no fan of "Harry Potter" and witchcraft.

But, by golly, J.K. Rowling got this one correct.

Remember when the British police wanted to stop somebody opposing this nonsense?

So in other words Scotland has made it a right for you not to be offended but apparently the law does not apply to people who are offended by men in a womans locker room or bathroom. OK, got it.

I visited England last year, mostly in London. The place felt broken to me. Only hints of its past culture detectable. I attended Sunday service in Westminster Abbey, thinking it would be well attended and traditional; it was neither, with only 50 or so people and a female minister who made sure to mention ‘racisim’ three times in her sermon. I was overdressed in my sport coat and proper footwear. (Along those lines, a Catholic Priest, three months prior, made sure to mention Ukraine at my sister’s funeral service... Unbelievable.)

John Cleese has stated that he no longer recognizes London as being British.

Not quite. The idea was to deport the 18-45 male population to mainland Europe. Sounds like cocktail napkin stuff. I doubt it was serious plan if they wanted to keep the economy running.

She doesn’t hate them....None of us do...We just think they’re sick...and that’s a pretty fair assessment of how most of us feel. AND they do not have some superior right...like making me call them ...whatever...they can call themselves whatever they want...I DO NOT have to agree.

Oh like one I have that’s approaching 100,000 unique visitors?

Or perhaps another coming up on 78,000 unique visitors?

Or several that are over 20,000 unique visitors? Or the one that’s over 32,000 unique visitors?

"Visitors"...aka "clicks"

Use the KISS method (Keep it simple...)if you want them read and absorbed.

Have a nice day, SaveFerris! ;)

It says “views” but they are actually counted by unique I.P. addresses - people have to be passing them on to other people - by email, text, etc. Some have actually copied and posted in different places. Those don’t get counted.

So I keep on doing what I have since count 1.

You have a nice day as well.

Meanwhile...

JK Rowling launches blistering attack on Scotland's new hate crime laws with 'arrest me' hashtag The multi-millionaire author claimed she "looked forward to being arrested" if her views were deemed to be hate crimes under a new law.

I'm still banned on Twitter, but what the heck...

#arrestme
