🚨Breaking: The UK government has published a draft ‘Conversion Practices Bill’🚨
As expected, it is an utter nightmare. The fact that Stonewall is celebrating tells you everything you need to know.
On the week that it pushed forward with the puberty blockers trial, the government may now rob children of the opportunity to become comfortable in their own bodies.
It includes no exemption for parents. Parents who try to dissuade their children from ‘transitioning’ could be criminalised and put in prison for 5 years.
It further enshrines the notion of ‘transgender identity’ in the law and makes the offence ridiculously broad: “conduct causing someone to believe that they have or do not have a transgender identity”.
It further enshrines the notion of being ‘non-binary’ in the law.
The protection for therapists and other medical professionals is severely lacking, with a test of ‘reasonableness’ created. There is also a low threshold for what constitutes ‘abuse’.
Make no mistake about it, this Bill will criminalising talking. It poses a significant threat to freedom of speech, religious freedoms and to the safeguarding of vulnerable children.
It must not be allowed to become law.
⚠️The Met are planning to roll out FIXED live facial recognition cameras across London.
There must be laws "that protect citizens from the privacy and free expression overreaches"
Jasleen Chaggar warns on BBC News London
This cannot keep happening.
A Christian preacher was attacked at Speakers’ Corner.
The one place in Britain that is supposed to represent free speech.
You don’t have to agree with what someone says.
You don’t have to like them.
You don’t even have to stand there and listen.
But the second violence becomes the response, serious consequences need to follow.
Enough with the excuses. The double standards.
And the looking away because the victim has the “wrong” beliefs or the attacker fits the “wrong” narrative.
Politicians need to act. Police need to act.
And anyone in power who refuses to protect basic law, order and free speech should be kicked out and punished severely.
Because if people can’t even speak freely at Speakers’ Corner without being attacked, then what exactly are we protecting in this country?
This isn’t normal.
And it cannot be allowed to become normal.
And if the new Prime Minister does nothing about this, then maybe it's time for him to leave as well.
🚨Breaking: Met Police to expand Orwellian FIXED live facial recognition cameras into London’s West End by Christmas & six other areas in 2027
"Expanding the use of live facial recognition to static cameras is an alarming escalation of an intrusive technology which has already scanned the faces of millions of innocent Londoners.
Forcing people to enter a digital police lineup in the capital’s busiest and most popular destinations is an affront to the idea that you should not have to identify yourself to the police if you have done nothing wrong. To see a play, you must now pay with your privacy."

@InspectorMogsy@RRaven27188@RadioGenoa I love archery 🏹. I was surprised to be good at it considering it was the first time I’d picked up a bow and arrow.
@InspectorMogsy@RRaven27188@RadioGenoa I’ve always owned one, and as much as I’ve tried, I still suck at baseball 😂. Archery was much more natural to me.
