"Reform is obviously contemptible." More contemptible than two-tier Keir's Labour arresting comedians speech? Or covering up grooming gang rapes for decades?
Is hate speech free speech? You fail to mention that the intention of Linehan’s incitements and threats are an attempt to bully transwomen out of public restrooms. On social media and elsewhere, Glinner has repeatedly made threats to trans people, and incited others to commit violence on them. Shame on you for taking the side of this rich, entitled bully, against a tiny minority group, with little or no power to defend themselves. Stochastic violence is a real thing, Garry. I had thought better of you.
There are men with mental illnesses that think they are women. Some of them mutilate themselves with hormones and surgeries, in violation of the hypocratic oath for anyone that facilitates those treatments.
It is dangerous to allow these mentally ill men into women’s spaces, which were created pricely for the protection of women.
How can he be sure that what he is saying is not a call to violence? Just because it's theoretically humor based on free speech? You’d have to live in a cave not to see the growing violence trans people are suffering every day, precisely due to the political and cultural environment that feeds off these kinds of statements. Comedians are social and cultural agents with great power, but also bear the responsibility to wield humor thoughtfully, recognizing that jokes can heal or harm, unite or divide, illuminate truth or perpetuate falsehood. Free speech absolutism is as dangerous as this basic and stupid joke.
He is referring to a trans woman, but chooses to say trans-identified male. That’s a blatant confession in my view.
Hermann Goring of 1930’s Nazi fame was clear about Nazi deportation policy when he publicly announced “Whoever in the future raises a hand against a representative of the National Socialist movement or of the State must know that he will lose his life in a very short while." (2494-PS) It became clear in Nazi Germany that once the judiciary lost its authority that the police state had the final say as to a citizen’s fate Wake up American citizens, the current police is coming for you!!!
It’s clear that the Nazis in the WH are not concerned about the criminals that are here in the country illegally What mass deportation is all about is to set up the concentration camps to house anyone who is identified as a “enemy of the state” The 21st century Nazis are not unique or creative They take their mission from a previous authoritarian point in time
Those who smugly ignore or deny that these concentration camps being set up in this country are not for you and me protesting on the streets right now has their head in the sand We are living in a growingly powerful police state where the current Gestapo ie ICE agency has a budget that is larger than the FBI and currently the Nazi regime is setting up the ability to interfere with the 2026 election and beyond Word to the wise
Sorry Gary, but until you get more facts about the cases, I would hold back. Linehan had form, and this is why he was arrested on a public order basis. It was heavy-handed, but by treating it as an issue of free speech, you sound a bit like J D Vance. If I am arrested for telling someone to shoot my neighbour this is not an issue of free speech. I think we have had enough of Americans making tone-deaf pronouncements about British culture.
Freedom of expression is legally protected in the UK, primarily through Article 10 of the ECHR (via the Human Rights Act 1998), supported by common law principles. It’s not just a “custom,” or “norm.” But unlike the U.S. First Amendment, it is not absolute—the law explicitly allows for wide-ranging restrictions in the public interest.

There is no such thing as a “trans woman”.
There are men with mental illnesses that think they are women. Some of them mutilate themselves with hormones and surgeries, in violation of the hypocratic oath for anyone that facilitates those treatments.

So you are able to divine intent?
Hello Garry, I'll have to disagree on this one.
How can he be sure that what he is saying is not a call to violence? Just because it's theoretically humor based on free speech? You’d have to live in a cave not to see the growing violence trans people are suffering every day, precisely due to the political and cultural environment that feeds off these kinds of statements.

What do you mean by 'two tier'?
I’m not concerned a Trans-psychotic was arrested for inciting violence, I’m concerned that Bob Villain still aren’t
The UK needs an organization like FIRE, Foundation of Individual Rights and Expression. Also, footnote 1 on Farage is spot on.
