A couple of weeks ago, I saw the article below appear in the majority of local news-outlets around
Britain and after failing to find an original source, I passed it off as just more evidence of over-reach
by those wishing to control their hated men-folk.
However, this week shows evidence of how these laws below are enabling The Thought Police
to perform under this uncalled-for legislation. (See article underneath the 'rules')

Quote:It is now illegal for your partner to do these 11 things in a relationship Domestic abuseSOURCE:
no longer simply means physical violence in the eyes of the law.
'Recent changes to the law have now made psychological abuse within a relationship illegal.
The offence of coercive control now recognises that domestic abuse can take several forms
and is not strictly limited to physical violence.
Changes to legislation The changes now outlaw a number of things that were not previously
covered by existing legislation, meaning emotional abuse of a partner is now also illegal.
Coercive control is the psychological abuse of a partner, which can be committed through threats
and restrictions, as well as physical violence, and carries a maximum sentence of five years in
prison.
In Scotland, changes to the Domestic Abuse bill were passed by Parliament earlier this year, making
psychological abuse and coercive controlling behaviour within a relationship a criminal offence.
The bill was amended to include behaviour that could not easily be prosecuted using the existing
criminal law. The laws have now been enforced in England and Wales, with the amendments making
the following 11 acts towards a partner illegal.
1. Sharing sexually explicit images of you –either online or not
New laws surrounding ‘revenge porn’ make it illegal for someone to share intimate photographs of
you with anyone, whether that is on or offline.
2. Restricting your access to money
Even if they are the breadwinner, the law says one partner cannot stop the other from accessing money
and should not give them “punitive allowances”.
3. Repeatedly putting you down
Constant insults from a partner might not be typically thought of as domestic abuse, but under the new law,
persistent name-calling, mocking and other forms of insulting behaviour are now illegal.
4. Stopping you from seeing friends or family
If your partner continually isolates you from the people you love –whether this is in the form of monitoring
or blocking your calls or emails, telling you where you can or cannot go, or preventing you from seeing your
friends or relatives –it is against the law.
5. Scaring you
Your partner might not physically assault you, but if they are doing enough to frighten you, they are committing
an offence. Women’s Aid says this can include, but is not limited to:
*Making angry gestures Using physical size to intimidate
*Shouting you down Destroying your possessions
*Breaking things Punching walls Wielding a knife or a gun
*Threatening to kill or harm you, your children or family pets
*Threats of suicide
6. Threatening to reveal private things about you
Whether your partner is saying they will tell people details about your health or sexual orientation, repeated threats
to reveal personal and private information is a form of abuse.
7. Putting tracking devices on your phone
The Crown Prosecution Service says it is illegal under the new legislation to “monitor a person using online
communication tools or spyware”.
8. Being extremely jealous
If your partner persistently accuses you of cheating, simply for looking at another person, then this could constitute
grounds for prosecution. Humberside Police say “extreme jealousy, including possessiveness and ridiculous
accusations of cheating” all come under the new legislation.
9. Forcing you to obey their rules
A relationship should be a partnership, with neither partner having control over the other. If you are forced to abide by
rules set by your partner, it could mean they are committing a crime. The Crown Prosecution Service says these
include rules which “humiliate, degrade or dehumanise the victim”, while Women’s Aid says examples include your
partner telling you that you have no choice in decisions.
10. Controlling what you wear
Your partner taking control over any part of your life is highlighted in the new legislation, including restricting who you
see and where you go. Controlling what you wear or how you look could also now be grounds for prosecution under
the changes.
11. Making you do things you don’t want to
Your partner forcing you to commit crimes, neglecting or abusing your children, or forcing you not to reveal anything
about your relationship to the authorities all count as abuse. Forcing you to have sex when you don’t want to, look
at pornographic material, or have sex with others also falls under this bracket.
Tackling domestic abuse head-on
“These new powers mean this behaviour, which is particularly relevant to cases of domestic abuse, can now be
prosecuted in its own right,” said Alison Saunders, director of public prosecutions at the Crown Prosecution Service.
“Police and prosecutors are being trained to recognise patterns of abusive behaviour which can be regarded as
criminal abuse. “We will do everything in our power to tackle this abhorrent crime.”...'

Quote:Humberside Police tell man to 'check his thinking' after he likes 'offensive transgender limerick' on TwitterHullLive:
'Humberside Police questioned a man for more than half an hour after he liked a Twitter post which was appearing
to mock the transgender community.
Harry Miller, the terrible transgender-hater!
Harry Miller said the formal investigation by the force was into his "thinking" and his reasons for liking the tweet,
which was a limerick.
The former policeman said he faced 34 minutes of phone questions from a police constable after liking the post.
The officer, Mr Miller claims, told him he was investigating a report of "hate speech" after an unnamed complainant
contacted the force, reports Grimsby Live.
He spoke out about the probe on his own Twitter page and said: "Cop said he was in possession of 30 tweets by me.
I asked if any contained criminal material. He said...No.
"I asked if any came close to being criminal...and he read me a limerick. Honestly. A limerick.
A cop read me a limerick over the phone." After telling the PC he did not write it, he reportedly said: "Ah. But you liked
it and promoted it. It's not a crime, but it will be recorded as a hate incident."
Mr Miller said he does not live or work in the Humberside area and told how the conversation turned "incredibly sinister"
as the officer tried to probe his "thinking." He said: "The cop told me that he needed to speak with me because, even
though I'd committed no crime whatsoever, he needed (and I quote) 'to check my THINKING!' Seriously. Honestly.
"Finally, he lectured me. Said, 'Sometimes, a woman's brain grows a man's body in the womb and that is what transgender
is.' You can imagine my response...
"Lastly, he told me that I needed to watch my words more carefully or I was at risk of being sacked by the company for hate
speech."
Mr Miller later told The Spectator the incident made him feel like a "criminal" -so much so he has now changed his Twitter
username to Harry The Owl -Limerick Criminal.
He said: "I just find this all unbelievable and sinister. I've broken no law, the police don't suggest that I've done anything illegal.
"But here they are, investigating me for tweeting a limerick. It's mad, completely mad."
The incident has sparked his Twitter supporters to write a string of limericks and even the Police and Crime Commissioner
for Humberside, Keith Hunter, has got involved.
A Pauline M Barten wrote: "If you want to fill your arrest sheet, and no go out on the beat,
make limericks a crime, spending your time, collaring folk for a tweet."
Keith Hunter said: "The force has provided an explanation. I think it was a reasonably proportionate
response to a report, following national guidance on such issues. U r of course permitted to disagree."
Mr Miller, who believes "trans women are not women", is determined to continue sharing his views.
He said: "Free speech is a hill that we have to fight on. "If we can't express ourselves freely within the law, none of the other
rights we have mean anything."
A spokesman for Humberside Police said: "We take all reports of hate incident seriously and will always investigate and take
proportionate action."
The limerick that was reported to the police
The limerick which was liked by Mr Miller and which was subsequently reported to Humberside Police, said:
"You're a man.
"You're breasts are made of silicone
"Your vagina goes nowhere
"And we can tell the difference
"Even when you are not there
"Your hormones are synthetic
"And lets just cross this bridge
"What you have you stupid man
"Is male privilege."...'
