Let me help out here as a former Executive Director of the EHRC. There is no intention to remove gender reassignment as a protected characteristic, nor should there be. Clarifying the EqA to redefine 'sex' as 'biological sex' restores women's rights to safety, decency, privacy.
It’s extremely distressing to see the UK’s equality watchdog, the EHRC, seeking to strip trans people’s rights from the Equality Act 2010. By redefining sex, they support removing the rights and protections trans people have had for over a decade 🧡

I've worked in women's prisons. I've locked up predatory male sex offenders. *Anyone* with operational experience of how these men target and exploit women will know that forcing them together in custody for the sake of male validation is morally insane. No equivocation works.
The trans activist outrage that ensues on here whenever I share my belief that jailed women shouldn't be used as validation tools or emotional support props for trans-identified male sex offenders is as revealing as it's predictable. Such activists can't bring themselves to concede that a man who was convicted of harming women/girls ought not to be incarcerated with the demographic to whom he is a proven danger, because if they do, all their stock arguments ('no sexual predator would bother to pretend to be trans', 'no trans woman has ever harmed a woman in a women's only space', 'there is no danger in making all single sex spaces unisex') are exposed as the lies they are. If they admit that even a single man isn't a woman because he says he is, the entire edifice of gender identity ideology crumbles. This leaves activists who rely on bullying and slogans with nowhere to go but 'you hate all trans people', 'so you're saying all trans people are rapists' and, of course, 'you are causing a trans genocide.' I think this particular issue also causes conniptions because it threatens the activists' self image. These are people who preen themselves on their kindness and virtue, so acknowledging the truth - that they're indifferent to vulnerable women being assaulted or traumatised - threatens the idea they have of themselves. They therefore double down. The prisoners complaining aren't really afraid of rape or voyeurism or violence at all, they say. They're 'not exactly delicate flowers', as one self-identified empath put it. If you support putting violent and sexually predatory men into women's prisons, you are knowingly forcing those women to live in fear of, and, in some proven cases, to suffer abuse that many of them will have endured pre-incarceration. You are not kind. You are not righteous. Women have the basic human right not to suffer cruel and unusual punishment. #WomensRightsAreHumanRights

This is surely disingenuous. Public Order legislation exists to cover behaviour like this. It doesn't need to specify, it simply creates a test of disorderly or insulting behaviour. Both of which are surely on display in this case.
It’s deeply disrespectful to climb on a war memorial, but there’s no law making it illegal. In the absence of a law officers cannot automatically arrest, but they can intervene & make it clear the behaviour isn't acceptable. That’s what they are seen doing here in this video.

This is entirely out of control. There's no context that can justify this behaviour. We have allegedly democratic accountability for policing. If I was Thames Valley PCC I'd be calling the Chief in for an interview without coffee. It's atrocious overreach. No excuse.
🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: An American cancer patient and Trump supporter was confronted by British police and told to apologise for her online posts or face an investigation. Deborah Anderson, a mother of two, was visited at her home in June by an officer from Thames Valley Police. He told her someone had lodged a complaint about her social media posts. She told him she was an American citizen and a member of the Free Speech Union and he should be investigating burglaries and rapes, not hurty words on social media. Chillingly, he told her he was there to get her to apologise to the person who was offended by her posts. If she refused, she’d be questioned down at the station. What was Deborah’s supposed crime? The policeman didn’t tell her. Was it her passionate support of President Trump and the MAGA movement on her Facebook and X pages? To make it worse, Deborah is in the midst of cancer treatment, including chemotherapy. She ought to be have been convalescing. Instead, she was harassed for her tweets. The FSU took on her case and, as a result, the police have now dropped their investigation. But they still haven’t told Deborah which of her posts got her into trouble, claiming they’ve accidentally deleted the record of the complaint. Thames Valley Police are responsible for guarding President Trump this week. What would he make of the fact that those same officers are visiting the homes of his supporters – including US citizens – and threatening them with arrest.

I was on GB News last night Paul, defending a line that two tier policing doesn't exist. I note it's a station you want shut down. The way to deal with obnoxious views and people IMO is to have better arguments, not more authoritarianism. Unless you think bans kill ideas. (Cf NI)

This odious man ran the IRAs political mouthpiece & denies he was ever a combatant, a claim set to be tested in court. The IRA murdered more Irish men, women & children than any other group in the Troubles. That he would receive a penny for his squalid contribution disgusts me.

This is absolutely indefensible. Shoplifting normalised, sexual violence endemic, knife crime out of control. But hurty words gets the flying squad. An ideologically imposed culture that is driving trust in policing into the ground.

No. The problem is not with the law but how it is applied and that's down to the woke activist meddling and bonkers 'authorised professional practice' from the College of Policing - a confected bureaucracy that has bypassed democratic accountability and destroyed common sense. 1/

He died very young. But voluntarily. A choice denied to Yvonne Dunlop who his firebombs incinerated at 26. We must never let these people lionise violent extremists without reminders of the horrors they wrought.
Thomas McElwee joined the Hunger Strike 41 years ago today. He was only 23. RIP

No doubt the police are in an invidious position regarding immigration status of the alleged rapists of a 12 year old girl in Nuneaton. But failure to disclose relevant, accurate information fast led to worst public disorder last summer since 2011. No substitute for truth. 1/

Streeting's take on the national grooming scandal is something he will come to regret IMO. It's grimly ironic that community cohesion is threatened most by those who think its preservation relies on traducing public outrage as bigotry. You don't defuse a bomb by pretending it's not there.

The concentration camp guards and the Jew. In 2025. These people are the enemies of civilisation.

Trust in policing has collapsed in this country. It's a crime scene and this is exhibit A. Absolute madness.
.@Glinner was arrested at Heathrow yesterday when he got off a flight from Arizona because of three tweets posted earlier in the year criticising trans rights activists. The @SpeechUnion is paying for his legal defence. He's been bailed, not yet charged. grahamlinehan.substack.com/p…
