The Police

“The most revolutionary thing one can do is always to proclaim loudly what is happening.” – Rosa Luxembourg

This page is intended mainly for stories about inapproriate responses by British police to people who’ve been reported by trans activists for supposed “hate speech” online. A very small number of people are believed to be responsible for using this particular strategy in trying to silence those they disagree with but I – and many others – consider the behaviour of police in certain highly publicised recent cases to be unconscionable and one of the most sinister developments so far in the promotion of transgender ideology.

Below are the cases I know about at the moment and here is the blog I wrote to accompany this page: The Thought Police are coming.

Harry Miller

Shocking behaviour by Humberside police officers against a man who’d committed no crime. Harry is himself a former police officer and now a philanthropic pillar of the community. The so-called ‘limerick’ he tweeted can be seen here.

Miranda Yardley

Stories about the absurd and ultimately unsuccessful attempt by Mermaids volunteer, Helen Islan, mother of a child she says is transgender, to get transsexual Miranda Yardley a criminal conviction. Investigated by West Yorkshire police, the case was thrown out by District Judge John Woolard, who said it should never have been brought.

 

Kate Scottow

 

Graham Linehan

Another target of Stephanie Hayden, who has now withdrawn the complaint against Graham.

 

Caroline Farrow

It wasn’t the best idea to complain about a journalist. The complaint by Susie Green, CEO of Mermaids charity, was to Surrey police but it has now been withdrawn.

 

Kellie-Jay Keen Minshull

Kellie-Jay, who campaigns under the name ‘Posie Parker’, was a test case for West Yorkshire Police early in 2018, after being reported by Susie Green of Mermaids. That first case was eventually dropped by police. Kellie-Jay is now the target of a second complaint by Green. This one’s being investigated by Wiltshire police. Update: 13.05.19 It turns out Susie Green withdrew the second complaint in March but the police didn’t Kellie-Jay until the middle of May and they are not going to pursue the case because they’ve run out of time. Here is a video Kellie-Jay made breaking the news: https://www.facebook.com/theposieparker/videos/2525787707541194/

 

Margaret Nelson

Incredible ham-fistedness by Suffolk police but at least they realised fairly quickly they’d got it wrong and apologised.

 

Boudica

No words can describe how ridiculous this one was. Stephanie Hayden again.

 

Linda Bellos

Linda was reported to police by Giuliana Kendal after Linda said at a meeting in York in November 2017 that she would defend herself against violent trans activists. North Yorkshire police interviewed her under caution and decided not to proceed with the case, so Kendal took out a private prosecution against both Linda and Venice Allan, which was eventually thrown out. The full story appears on this page of this site and I’m only mentioning it here as an illustration of how far trans activist bullies might be prepared to go when the police won’t do their bidding.

 

The person behind many of the complaints

Hayden is on the right.

Trans activist Stephanie Hayden has a penchant for reporting to the police people who say things he finds disagreeable while saying vile things about other people. Entitled much?

Hayden’s complaint against Spectator is rejected

Police officers are afraid to speak out

I don’t know the source of this or where it was originally posted. I spotted it on Twitter and it doesn’t surprise me in the slightest. It sounds exactly the same as what’s happening in the Prison Service.
