Opposing trans ideology is not a crime
The Free Speech Union steps UP.
After weeks of police bail – subject to unlawful conditions, including a ban on posting on X – officers have told @Glinner that prosecutors say there isn’t sufficient evidence to support any charges. That shouldn’t have been a surprise since opposing trans ideology is not a crime.
Throughout this probe, the police have behaved like activists, not impartial upholders of the law. Last week, FSU lawyers had to take the Met Police to court to get their illegal ban on Graham contacting any trans-identifying male dropped. The Met didn’t even show up to the hearing.
Rather than inviting Graham for an interview in September, the Met sent five armed police officers to arrest him at Heathrow airport.
So, we’re not stopping here. Police forces cannot continue to suppress lawful free speech without facing consequences.
We’ve instructed a top flight team of lawyers to sue the Met for wrongful arrest, among other things. Graham deserves an apology but, more importantly, the police need to be taught a lesson that they cannot allow themselves to be continually manipulated by woke activists.
Yes.
I particularly like that they call it an ideology, because that’s what it is and it doesn’t get called that enough.

That’s good news, I’m sure the whole process has been a stressful (and probably expensive) ordeal for Graham. I also suspect that was the point. The Met not even turning up to court for proceedings is unbelievably unprofessional. I hope the judge is suitably pissed at them for wasting court time.
Met Police to end all non-crime hate speech investigations!
