The UK, like Canada, has lost any semblance of free speech. Thankfully, as this year draws to an end, the UK seems to be gaining their free speech rights back, albeit slowly. A landmark Court of Appeal ruling declared that “Freedom only to speak inoffensively is not worth having.”
Judges have insisted that freedom of speech includes the ‘right to offend’ in a landmark ruling which could help to turn the tide on ‘woke’ intolerance after a feminist who called a transgender woman a ‘pig in a wig’ and a ‘man’ was cleared.
Miss Scottow was arrested in 2018 and taken from her children and into custody after referring to trans woman Stefanie Hayden as a man, a ‘racist’ and a ‘pig in the wig’. Miss Hayden, 47, reported the online remarks to police.
She had been arrested by three police officers in 2019 at her home in Pirton near Hitchin, Hertfordshire, in front of her daughter, 10, and son, 20 months. Boris Johnson later called it an abuse of power.
In February this year radical feminist Miss Scottow, 40, was handed a two-year conditional discharge, and ordered to pay £1,000 compensation, with district judge Margaret Dodds telling her: ‘Your comments contributed nothing to a debate. We teach children to be kind to each other and not to call each other names in the playground.’
Although The Daily Mail names which of the two people in the side by side photos accompanying their article is which, it isn’t necessary to ascertain which one is which…
It’s obvious to anyone, who is the man dressed as a woman, and who is the actual woman.
Also, having a “gender recognition certificate” doesn’t exempt one from needing at the age of 47, to have a regular prostrate exam.
You’re welcome, and bravo England.

the gender-nazis are the least of it…
“Mayor Sadiq Khan surprised locked down Londoners
with a divisive New Year display which used fireworks
and drones to light up the night sky with the clenched
fist symbol of Black Lives Matter.”

Here in Adolf’s Canada, the peasants are told what to think and say.
And, “the truth is no defence.”

Yeah, Canaduh sucks. Alberta should secede. End the RAPE of Alberta by Canaduh.
“Radical feminist.” A polite tern for a fat lesbian pig with no business raising children.
Justice would have been served best by hauling both the lizzy and the tranny off to the loony bin, and letting the children be adopted by parents who would actually love and care for them, and serve as an example of the fundamentals of Christian morality.
She’s “radical” because she doesn’t want men in wigs entering the Ladies room.
I’m reminded of a certain scene from the movie Crocodile Dundee…..
I vaguely remember that. Maybe Nancy R can dig up a clip.
I remember that well. Still laugh at it. (As did my late wife!)
Yup, famous this scene is… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsmJxjfP9jo
Thanks. Now I remember. Oomph!
Apologies – missed that!
That was in fact, a great flick!
“Your comments contributed nothing to a debate”
I disagree on 2 counts.
1) the exercise of free speech is not contingent upon “contributing to a debate”
2) if it were a debate about the new ‘gender’ insanity, it surely did contribute the normal reaction to a disordered minority
The judge Margaret Dodds ought to be an elementary school teacher rather than a sitting magistrate.
Heaven forfend that woman ever gets to be in a position to indoctrinate children.
You think that being a school teacher gives her more power than being a sitting district judge? Really?
“…the UK seems to be gaining their free speech rights back,…”
No they’re not. They’re on the cusp of a total Orwellian lockdown…they’ve let it get this far with nary a whimper and I don’t see anything that tells me it’s shifting the other way, so let’s not get all giddy about little grass fires that are put out when there’s acres of trees burning behind you.
When Bobbies show up at your door to ask about your “thinking” with respect to your Twitter, you’ve lost the fng battle, so let’s not pretend otherwise.
Our liberties are not going to be clawed back in the courts.
Fundamental rights like speech aren’t debatable or out there for some cunting judge to “rule” on.
If you’re against freedom of speech you should be culled with extreme prejudice.
“Fundamental rights like speech aren’t debatable”
Yes. If we’re having this debate, we’re losing just because we’re having this debate. It is time for something stronger than words.
I guess the difference between a radical feminist and a regular feminist is that the radical feminist doesn’t claim that men dressed as women are actually women.
On the other hand, what kind of asinine police department would send officers around to arrest and charge someone for this? Maybe the chief was a regular feminist.
Does this ruling apply to Scotland?

Bravo! Freedom is slavery.
