JK Rowling April Fools Tweets: Ex-Police Officer Reacts To Scottish Hate Crime Law

Рет қаралды 202,174

2 ай бұрын

The new Hate Crime and Public Order Act introduced in Scotland has sparked controversy and criticism from notable figures, including JK Rowling. The law aims to consolidate existing hate crime laws and create a new offense of threatening or abusive behaviour intended to stir up hatred on various grounds. However, Rowling and others have raised concerns about the implications of the law on freedom of speech and the ability to accurately describe biological sex.
JK Rowling recently took to social media to challenge Scotland's new hate crime law, inviting police to arrest her if they believe she has committed an offense. In a series of tweets, Rowling highlighted the absurdity of the law and the impact it could have on the ability to accurately describe and tackle violence against women and girls. She emphasized the importance of being able to call a man a man and spoke out against the restrictions on freedom of speech imposed by the law.
Former Police officer Harry Miller joins TalkTV to review the implications.

But Rowling is aiming at the wrong target. Face facts - this is a blasphemy law. Humza does not care about Trans. He wants to stop criticism of lslam. This is a recreation of the old Covenant of Dhiimmitude Which subjugated non-believers for a thousand years. Sorry, but Rowling is a distraction. Ralph

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of EVIL is for good men to do nothing. Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little." Edmund Burke. We need more JK Rowlings to speak out when ludicrous movements set out to change the world we live in. I am all for change but not when it tramples all over other people's rights and existences. Sadly our political system is fit for the 1930s NOT the 21st century when we all can discuss and make comments as we can here, but not in a meaningful way as to how our country is being run. I would give every UK citizen (the choice to have) a unique log in where they can leave their comments anywhere on government and public sector bodies. I think this already exists for some through Tax log in. Just being able to leave our comments as UK citizens, not some Russian troll, will empower us all greatly and have a say as to what our politicians and public servants are doing on our behalf. Nothing more than comments. JK Rowling has my admiration, it is so so easy to do nothing. Where are all these female charities such as The Fawcett Society who were set up to stand up for women?

because the left is like that, the (far) left real agenda comes out ; I am scottish from my mother's side living in holland , I have worked in Amsterdam : what you hear around you in Amsterdam everything anyone says is compared to political parties and leaders past and present and dispropotionately and unjustifibably compared with nazis , trust me on that one , so I know all about the mindset of the political (far) left , saying things like suppress it etc. seeing germans as closet nazis the french as chauvinists own people first sentiment = nazi mindset etc. " nationalism shouldn't be too extreme" , "I don't like like to see too many flags with nationalism makes me feel eerie" remarks like that ; trust me the mindset of the political left is anything but democratic or tolerant for that matter the left all over !!! my advice don't vote SNP or worse the greens or labour they all introduced this law , not the conservatives you are what you feel , maybe you feel an alien from outer space tomorrow , and if you contradict me I may feel offended (facetious); in short mrs Rowling is right in stating sex is biological

This is quite a large post by J.K. Rowling that explains her views very clearly. Unfortunately, in the Dutch newspapers they only cited her 'trans women are men' remark, deliberately omiting the foulness she pointed out to. The narrative of her being a 'transfoob' has become a gospel of the liberal left. As a man I totally support J.K. Rowling, and every other woman, for standing up for womens' right and, especially, their safety and fair treatment.
