So you want people to be able to say whatever they like in whatever way they like and to whomever they like? Irrespective of the damage it may cause to people or a person?

Or do and argue with them. I want to be able to criticise religion. Many people find this appalling and are very hurt by it. It now counts as hate speech and can be prosecuted.

You can criticise religion. You and I both do that.

But it now counts as hate speech. I could be arrested if I said something offensive and a religious person reported me. I probably won't be but things are getting worse, not better. Someone was arrested for saying children shouldn't be transitioned.

Really? Do you have a link? I can’t find one.

Do you have the detail of what she is supposed to have said to cause this and what the outcome was? The nuances of British law are decided by the outcomes of cases.

Six tweets saying children should not be transitioned. I don't know if this is ongoing now or has been dropped. Hopefully the latter, but Dankula case is worrying enough on its own.

If it’s as straightforward as that, and the case proceeds, I’ll sign the petition! No way this will happen. Absolutely not.

So a neighbour of a gay person can put a sign in their window expressing hateful things about gays? How does the gay person avoid that sign? Move house? These things really happen.

Oh, I know. A feminist was just telling me how traumatised she was by having to walk past billboards of semi-naked women. We need to allow this because we cannot decide what is offensive. The majority will. Atheists & LGBT are particularly vulnerable.
