Again, I'm not sure I do miss that point. I don't think that merits criminalisation either.

About half your interesting thread was devoted to how the stickers are immoral, wrong, offensive, a bad way to behave etc - though not criminal. My point is that they are none of those things. They are part of an important, and highly moral, political campaign

Just not my concern, or indeed expertise. My interest is in the proper scope of the criminal law, and whether the police are behaving correctly.

Hugo you're disavowing the first half, at least, of your own thread! You spent tweet after tweet saying 'these stickers were nasty, horrible, intended to offend, etc' and only then said BUT they shouldn't be illegal. I'm disagreeing with what you said yourself.

I'm afraid I think that mischaracterises what I said. I did not send "tweet after tweet saying 'these stickers were nasty, horrible, intended to offend, etc", as anyone looking up through what I posted can see.

See your tweets 5/, 6/ and 7/ ending with the conclusion "Is posting such offensive messages a good way to behave?" the answer is no. It is a very bad way to behave, and the people doing it should stop doing so"

Again, although my argument (which is about criminalisation) does not depend upon it, I do think that there is a difference between expressing a gender critical position inoffensively, and putting up stickers in town saying "women don't have penises", especially in context.
