Context for this: the police acknowledge that they have been told this is not a crime. Barring legislation to make it a crime in the meantime: how happy are we with legislators saying they welcome police arresting people that they know have not committed a criminal offence?

The lads clucking about the immoderate language of protestors looks deeply culpable, because it’s clearly what they’ve done all along to help them ignore the methodical, calculated extremely violent and murderous destruction of the Gaza Strip on top of two million civilians.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.
