Man allowed to continue tweeting about men being men and women being women

What do we think about this then?  On the one hand some sub-par Glinner moaning about gender issues in a very moronic and childish way whilst loads of people complain about it that you just want to say "just don't fucking read twitter!!!!" to, on the other it's highlighted some interesting points (which the high court has agreed with) about rights to freedom of speech.


Also, musos note this is NOT the same Harry Miller who was a bassist active on the British jazz scene.  He's dead now.


Also-also - Lib Dem and trans rights campaigner Helen Belcher, who was interviewed on BBC news about it, did a talk at my work a few years ago, although it was more broadly about LGBT+ as opposed to specifically trans stuff.

He was told he had not committed a crime, but it would be recorded as a non-crime "hate incident".

What?

[Shit Good Nose]

What?

Oh, there's a LOT of stuff in there that raises that question...

Ohhh, I think most of us will be on the same page with this one. 

I doubt one P. Walnuts will be, but that doesn't really matter.

Twitter should be banned?

[Danger Man]

My shock take on this is that typing shouldn't be illegal.

Thank fuck, I just typed directions to my neighbour and how much i'll pay to the assassin I've hired to kill them. Thank fuck typing is legal though !

[Shit Good Nose]

Twitter should be banned?

We COULD ban Twitter, but then how will we get important updates from Glinner and Steve Brookstein?

I suppose we could sign up to their fanclubs.  Do it old school - fanzines.  £1.50 per issue (plus P&P, obvs).

How much?

Asking for a friend.

What were the actual tweets that got him a visit from the plod?

[Shit Good Nose]

Ahhh, I'm not up on my Middle East currencies.  Is it one of those ones where there's like a million to the pound?

[Danger Man]

4.8 to the pound

I check every 30 minutes.

[Danger Man]

4.78 now

[bgmnts]

Lets just say it's a bargain, plus its helping stop terrorism in the middle east.

a mammal can't become a fish, basically.

[thenoise]

Twitter contributes nothing of worth to mankind. Even those that defend it are actually worried that it will lead to things of worth being deleted, like myspace um, books.

I will gladly sacrifice Limmy doing his 'joke' for the cause. Ban twitter.

[Cuellar]

a mammal can't become a fish, basically.

Yeah but specifically

That was one of many he posted, but I don't think it was one of the ones that 5-0 busted down the doors for.  The main one seemed to be a retweeted "comedy" song about transgender, but the court detail points to as many as 30 tweets and retweets that added up to a more eyebrow raising whole.

Doesn't seem that media outlets are keen on printing them in full.

"I was assigned mammal at birth, but my orientation is fish. Don't mis-species me."

He retweeted something that every outlet calls a "limerick" and it is driving me crazy. I don't even understand what the meter is supposed to be here:

You're a man.

Your breasts are made of silicone

Your vagina goes nowhere

And we can tell the difference

Even when you are not there

Your hormones are synthetic

And lets just cross this bridge

What you have you stupid man

Is male privilege.

ABCDCEFAF is not a limerick.

[Cuellar]

Your vagina goes nowhere

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa - the vaginas of REAL women are always popping down the shops, putting the work in, not lazing around.

[idunnosomename]

Ezra Pound still fashing I see

[Looper]

I identify myself as an attack helicopter.
So glad the plod will protect me from the bigots.

[Shit Good Nose]

Well lookee who we got on yer man's left...



That's real by the way - as most of you know my Paint skills are nowhere near that good.

Your vagina goes nowhere

Chibnall vaginas
