“Orwell’s thought police is now a reality. Humberside Police are investigating a man for retweeting an offensive limerick -- they even contacted him to ‘check his thinking’. It is now normal for police to investigate ‘non-crime hate incidents’.”
Now this kind of thing is a reality. Are we fucked ? |

I heard online the other day that a man was visited by police for a post he liked on twitter! I don't think it was particularly controversial either. Can't recall the details though. Worrying? Very. |

Is the police force becoming the paramilitary wing of the Guardian newspaper? |

"It included the phrase "trans women are stupid"
If i retweeted, "men are fucking stupid assholes" i doubt it would get attention but no different.
You would probably get an award.

He's probably right! And I'm sure it won't be long until tweeting that will be mandatory!!! |

It reminds me of the Cathy Newman interview with Jordan Peterson.
Cathy - Why should your right to freedom of speech, trump a trans person's right to be offended?
Jordan - Because in order to think, you have to risk being offensive.
