Truly excellent report from Essex University, confirming and apologising for its failures to uphold freedom of speech on campus. Thanks @CultSwat

Very good to see this. Image
And this. Dare we hope the adults are back in the room? Image
Adults were responsible for these threats - not ‘stupid teenagers’. Image
But of course. Image
Tide is turning. Grateful thanks to all who made this possible. Image
And GET STONEWALL OUT. Stop paying them money to misrepresent the law. Image

As @MerseyPolice are warning us not to be transphobic whilst refusing to tell us what transphobia is, it falls on us to provide the working definition, kindly offered by @stonewalluk Image
Note: if you deny the existence of ‘gender identity’, you automatically fall foul of @MerseyPolice. If you consider sex to be binary then you automatically fall foul of the police.
What’s more, if you say nice things about Dame Jenni Murray or JK Rowling you are in danger of being recorded as a transphobe by @MerseyPolice.

Allegation 1 @NYorksPolice - Your officers have tweeted support of the exclusion of Gender Critical women, contrary to Para 9 Schedule 2 Reg 5 of the Police Conduct Regs 2020 (Discreditable Conduct)
Allegation 2 - In so tweeting, your officers are in breach of Para 2 Schedule 2 Reg 5 of the Police Conduct Regs 2020 in that this fails to show respect and courtesy to those members of the public who hold gender critical views.

@threadreaderapp unroll
Allegation 3 - Failure to immediately remove this tweet will amount to a breach of Para 10 Schedule 2 Reg 5 of the Police Conduct Regs 2020, in that you are required to take action against officers failing to uphold the required standards of professional behaviour.

Let’s remind ourselves of the Derbyshire policing threats, which I assume are pretty typical for most forces.

Odd isn’t it. ‘Someone was mean to me because they mistakenly thought I was disabled’ doesn’t make the Top Ten.
Let's have a look at some of the statistics for actual disabled people, rather than people who are mistakenly identified as disabled.
The unemployment rate for disabled people was 8.4% in the latest quarter, compared to 4.6% for those without disabilities.
42.6% of those with disabilities were economically inactive in the latest quarter, compared to 15.3% of those without disabilities.

Asked @DerbysPolice for their definition of ‘woman’ and been sent a link to this. Don’t think it will answer my question. But it’s interesting nonetheless. What are the Top Ten threats they face?

Odd isn’t it. ‘Gender hate’ doesn’t feature.

derbyshire.police.uk/SysSiteAssets/…
this is how the Top Threats are going to be tackled. ‘Preventing, fighting and investigating crime’ is surely all you need and should be number 1?
And this is just weird. Of course the police mustn’t be rude or unkind. But they aren’t therapists or counsellors.

More evidence that the police are just making this up on the hoof. How do you define ‘gender’ Derbyshire? Is denying that gender should have anything to do with policing ‘hate’?
They aren’t merely making it up, they are getting their own policies fantastically wrong. ‘Gender reassignment’ is an EA protected characteristic. ‘Transgender’ is the monitored strand.
Ah! They mean ‘misogyny’. But don’t mention the word ‘women’ once.

So what is your definition of a woman Derbyshire?

We have now been told
A) person holding banner ‘Kill Cops’ was an activist from the USA causing trouble
B) or an undercover police officer trying to discredit rioters

We have seen nothing but some videos and commentary as evidence either way.
Just in fact banner holder seemed determined to show his face, option A seems more likely. Regardless, that any person for any reason would display that message publicly is insane.

And it shows how easy it is to identify the difference between ‘hate’ and ‘dangerous’ speech.
‘Hate’ has been destroyed as any kind of useful identification of the limits to free speech, given that it now includes the exercise of political speech. But an incitement to kill can only ever be ‘dangerous’ and should remain unlawful.
