Ireland’s descent into authoritarianism continues.

This is Irish Green Party Senator Pauline O'Reilly weaponising the concept of “safety” to justify censorship and other encroachments on freedom of speech.

🧵 THREAD!

UK police are arresting over 12,000 each year for ‘offensive’ speech. That’s over 30 arrests per day.

So I thought I’d compile a list of UK citizens who have been visited, investigated or arrested by police for speech crime.

This list is by no means comprehensive!Image
In January 2019, Harry Miller was contacted by Humberside Police for retweeting a poem that was interpreted as ‘transphobic’. The officer admitted that no crime had been committed but allegedly said: ‘We need to check your thinking’. Image
In February 2025, school administrator Helen Jones was visited by Greater Manchester Police after posting criticisms of Labour politicians on Facebook. Officers later confirmed that she hadn’t committed any crime. Image

“Doyle writes exceptionally well and he backs up his j’accuse with copious illustrations of ideological excess… University no-platformers like to say that ‘words are violence’. If so, Doyle’s are rapiers” – The Herald

THREAD 🧵

Why are so many still trying to defend Mermaids?

This is a group that promotes a dangerous form of gender identity ideology to children, claims puberty blockers are harmless and reversible, & encourages breast binding for young girls without parental consent.

[1/9]
Even now, when it is revealed that one of Mermaids’s trustees is an apologist for paedophilia, many of its supporters are doubling down.

This is what is known as “belief perseverance”.

[2/9]
“Belief perseverance” is when people are presented with evidence that disproves their views but, instead of revising their views accordingly, they hold fast.

It explains a good deal of what is happening here.
