I'm watching Parliament discuss the #PolicingBill.
Thread:
MP @HarrietHarman calls for curb-crawling (form of sexual harassment) to be made into a specific offence, with the potential penalty of losing one's driver's license. #PolicingBill
Shadow Home Office Minister @LabourSJ is an absolute rockstar on this.
And demands removal of the clauses which criminalise being #NoisyAndAnnoying at protests.
Tory MP Robert Goodwill accuses those standing up for the right to protest of "wokism" and uses the vandalism of some protests to justify putting arbitrary noise limits on all protests. #NoisyAndAnnoying#PolicingBill
Then @HarrietHarman pointed out the need to tighten the rules and conditions under which the sexual history of the rape victim can be taken into account (namely with the defendant.)
She says it should be addressed sooner and not delayed by Law Commission review. #PolicingBill
Then @neill_bob explains the notion of consent to her, and tells her that raising the bar for proven consent should be delayed until after they've passed a bill that give 10 years of jail to people who violate the consent of statues. #PolicingBill
MP @LabourSJ called out the #PolicingBill for attacking gypsies by criminalising their way of life.
Again, the police themselves don't want these powers. The real answer is the provision of more places to stop.
It's David Davis talking sense, so I needed to upload it just so there's historical proof that it really happened. #NoisyAndAnnoying
Then SNP MP @AnneMcLaughlin pointed out that the efforts to ban people from protesting by the Parliament show that the MPs behind the #PolicingBill just don't want to hear criticism. #NoisyAndAnnoying
Conservative MP @JDjanogly points out that the #PolicingBill risks compromising law and order by encouraging police against protesters, just like at the Sarah Everard vigil on Clapham Common. #NoisyAndAnnoying

If a white police officer refuses to arrest a sex offender becsuse they don't want to be called racist...
They're NOT doing it to protect ethnic minorities...
They're doing it to protect their own WHITE ass.
That's not political correctness!!
This entire conversation is driven by people with no understanding of how to address issues of racism, using that as an argument to stop addressing issues of racism.
That is why the ROTHERHAM Casey Report talked about "misplaced political correctness".
Because no civil rights movement in human history has EVER marched with the objective of helping sex offenders escape justice.
