You're quite wrong Roddy. At this rank especially, community reassurance is a key part of the job, more than ever.
Don't you think you're taking this activist-lawyer thing a little too far ? I now question your judgement.
Well-meaning, no doubt; and no doubt there have been bigots in the police. But the CC here is apologising for past laws. However reprehensible those laws are to 2024 eyes, the duty of the police is and always has been to enforce the law, not to question or apologise for it.
This is Stuart Campbell of @WingsScotland , who shortly after the killing of Brianna Ghey, intentionally misgendered Brianna (many times) just to inflict as much harassment and distress to those expressing grief as he could.
He is now the subject in a Judicial Review application
@IndiaWilloughby On the facts, timeline, context, it WAS a crime of targeted harassment of you by virtue of your being trans, with no provocation
If the police made an error in law, that’s grounds for a JR. The police rely on 999/1000 people not having the wherewithal or energy to challenge them.
@IndiaWilloughby The judge in the application, took great interest in the ‘unwritten policy to exclude the trans community’ regarding our reports of online crimes and the police refusal to action ANY of them since 2019.
If we use FOIA to prove this, it is firm grounds for a JR under PSED.
@IndiaWilloughby A judicial review application of a police decision to refuse to progress a report of an online crime motivated by transphobia (substantially similar to yours) has just cleared the permission stage. Notably the judge has directed the JR be conducted by a senior High Court judge.
As so often, the trans person involved gets no say in their being openly discussed in this horrific way.
My understanding is they are happy and healthy and content with who they are.
Just leave trans people alone to get on with our lives.
@jk_rowling@AngelaRayner@Womans_Place_UK@AllianceLGB The LGB Alliance are a hate-group.
JK Rowling is this country’s most prolific anti-trans propagandist.
Sit down bigots, with the Tories gone, party’s over, lights out.
The LGB Alliance, @AlliancLGB are an anti-trans hate-group. They cannot credibly refute this.
A wise decision not to engage, they would have had their arses properly kicked.
The LGB Alliance has its offices based at 55 Tufton Street.
I think people are intelligent enough to conclude themselves as to whether the trans-exclusionary LGB Alliance is a hate group.
Oh, & LGB folks don’t need billionaire straight people speaking for them, ta very much.
@mollscroll@BBCSport@martina is a vile bigot - and probably the obvious hypocrite in the entire gender critical hate-movement.
Her involvement with Wimbledon is over.
This coming from the woman who threatened to sue and silenced a Jewish journalists because she challenged JK Rowling’s holocaust denial is pretty ironic.
Rowling keeps her echo chamber nice and cozy by litigating against any criticism.
Quite wrong - and confirming former South Wales Police superintendent Catherine Larkman no longer has the contacts or influence she implies.
What a spectacular failure for the PoliceSEENUK network.
@PoliceChiefs@CollegeofPolice
@JamesCleverly@Conservatives Liar.
You cut 21,000 officers. You have not even replaced those.
You have dismantled every part of the criminal justice system.
You owe the public an apology.
