Agree with this. Two things can be true at once. 1. “Coconut” and similar terms are racist slurs. 2. It shouldn’t be a criminal offence to use them. Why criminalising hate speech is a bad idea thetimes.com/comment/column…

A whole lawyerly thread officiously missing the point that our justice system is absolutely fucked if the sentencing guidelines dictate a greater sanction for Facebook posts than they do for possession of child pornography.

Dan Andrews and the police involved should face criminal charges over this. This is outright corruption. search.app/X9oJTAjZwxJrNn…

So many lawyer types on here (understandably I suppose), don’t seem to be able (or willing) to differentiate between someone criticising a given law and someone criticising an application of the law. Telling me “it’s the law” when the law is the point of the critique isn’t an

Whether they’re deported or not is up to the state. What she wants to say in her victim statement is up to her. Outrageous from the judge. gbnews.com/news/rotherham…

A new case study claims to report two instances of "male pregnancy," which the authors claim question "repronormativity." However, the title is incorrect because the participants are actually female, not male. Therefore, they do not question or challenge "repronormativity."

"I have no faith that the Scottish Government will do the right thing. After all, successive First Ministers have pursued gender identity policies with vigour. It is unlikely the government will now admit that it was wrong." ✍️ Susan Dalgety edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/opinion/c…

Just so we are clear: Philip doesn’t have a clue about what the targeting protocols were. Yet here is pontificating as if he’s in possession of facts. He isn’t. But then he doesn’t care about facts.

Can someone tell her they’ll be no deal without Hamas. Just repeating “we’re going to get this deal done” isn’t an answer. How?

Watching large parts of the contemporary left and the UN coming out in support of terrorism is wild. It’s not surprising, but it is wild. Underpinning it isn’t just hatred of Israel, it’s anti-Americanism, and more broadly anti-western resentment. The fact many in the West play
