Irish comedian Graham Linehan was just arrested by police officers at Heathrow Airport for tweeting against biological males using women's bathrooms. Would I have used the language and terms he used in his tweets? No, I would not. Do I want citizens arrested for weighing in…

@jk_rowling The fact that "hate speech" laws are NEVER applied fairly to all sides, and ALWAYS applied selectively to advance the regime's or police unit's favourite political causes that makes them especially odious and strips them of all moral and legal credibility.

Why do people trust police officers and judges to decide what counts as "hateful" speech worth investigating, prosecuting, and legally punishing? Why do they not see that incitement to hatred is ripe to be weaponised on behalf of this or that political cause?

Mainstream media in Ireland are living in a bit of an ideological and political bubble, because conservatism has been banished in Ireland to the fringes for decades. The arrest of an Irish comedian in the UK should be sparking massive debate about free speech and the limits of…

I cannot possibly see how a bail condition could lawfully include not speaking in public via X. I hope the police authorities involved in this are successfully sued and embarrassed for this ridiculous use of police resources..

There is another option. We used to use moral high ground plus an eye roll or at most a Padington stare if people are being offensive. Pretending governments can and should control speech is as almost as delusional as pretending they can and should control an airborne virus.

On 13/8/23, I gave a public talk entitled "Debunking the False Narrative of the Sovereign People." @YouTube have now placed "context" under my video falsely connecting me to the "sovereign citizen" movement & with "financial scammers." This is how Youtube treats its customers

This is a pretty big deal. It will certainly be a strong contrast with most American states which retain mandatory childhood vaccines. Some people will be very unhappy about this and others will celebrate it. I'd like to hear what you think.

We must remind ourselves: the police enforce the law. It is not their job to police people for causing offence. news.sky.com/story/father-t…

The law is not there to enforce politeness or protect citizens from offence. Sending police to arrest someone deboarding a plane is appropriate for things like terrorist offences or threats to national security or drug trafficking. The UK is on a slippery slope...
