I'm suddenly reminded of Classroom, who's our normal source for UK weirdness and who hasn't been around in a good bit. Hope he's alright, didn't get caught up in something at work or whatever.

Meh the SNP/Green coalition swap back and forth between blowing smoke up the arse of fuckwit feminists and fuckwit TRAs depending on which way the political winds are blowing...

Yeah I’ve been people complaining about the hate crime law also saying that they want a law with the same provisions just anti-misogyny instead. Makes me think they’re less worried about freedom of speech and just annoyed that they didn’t get their own law.

Which is due to come in and was included in the first draft on this one, bet JK Rowling was dead fucking quiet about that shite.

This Law is a pile of shite and should never have been passed, but it still was closer to normal legal basis than the the proposed "anti-misogyny" law as its written as agnostic on the "protected characteristics" even we all know it will not be applied that way.

But on the bright side Hamza Useless was reported a fair amount of times for his spitting venom every time he said "white" during his well publicised speech.
