    Man investigated by police for retweeting transgender limerick

    A docker from Humberside has been investigated by police over a limerick he posted on Twitter after an officer claimed it constitutes a ‘hate incident’ against transgender people.

    Harry Miller, 53, from Lincoln was contacted on Wednesday by a community cohesion officer following a complaint that had been made about the plant and machinery dealer’s social media posts.

    Citing 30 potentially offensive tweets, the PC singled out a limerick Mr Miller had retweeted which questioned whether transgender women are biological women. It included the lines: "Your breasts are made of silicone, your vagina goes nowhere."

    Even though no crime was committed, sharing the limerick online was recorded as a ‘hate incident’.

    ...After Mr Miller questioned why the complainant was being described as a “victim” if no crime had been committed, the officer told him: “We need to check your thinking”
    .

    This nonsense is all happening in the UK, but as an American, this sounds absolutely insane. Is free expression over in Airstrip One?

    I'm not sure what exactly a "community cohesion officer" is but I'm prettily sure we don't need any of them here in the US

    Actually, no. It does not sound insane, because it sounds very normal when you admit the fact that homosexuality is now used as a way to gain power in the USA society.

    Here look at >this evidence< of why it is a huge surprise, that the event in your OP, had not already happened here in the USA.

    You need, truth, then perhaps your posts will cease to exude the stench of deceit. Now, go! Be proud of Obama's accomplishments and the planetary movement he sparked.

    It is the Leftist future of the United States as well. It is where A.O.C. and her sister radical leftist freshmen future LEADERS of the Dem Party are fully intending to force this nation to go. The British -- with their leftists in charge -- simply got there first. Decent of them to let us SEE the end results of what we are fighting against here . . . if one loses the SANITY WAR the the Left.

    It's the bare bones and still at the rudimentary stage of what eventually grew to become the old Soviet Union Political Officer. Not a shock that the Left reproduced the concept in Jolly ol' England.

    I bet your local mirror would, disagree, and that is likely why you avoid it so much.

    What is this, middle school? Look I'll make it simple for you. This is a free speech issue, and you're on the wrong side.

    Community Cohesion Officer?

    Terrifyingly Orwellian.

    There once was a man from Glasgow
    His balls were made out of brass, know?
    He clanged them together
    They played stormy weather
    And lightning shot out of his arse, know?

    Aye, aye, aye, aye, gone now is sadness!

    Old England is looking quite sickly
    The PoPo behaving so dickly
    Checking your thoughts

    Best leave the EU rather quickly

    ...After Mr Miller questioned why the complainant was being described as a "victim" if no crime had been committed, the officer told him: "We need to check your thinking".​

    Here's what the limerick was:

    You're a man.

    Your 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.

    You’re a man, you’re a man
    We can say it, yes we can
    That you’ll never be a woman
    Even if that is your plan
    Every cell is coded male
    From your birth until the grave
    You are simply a man
    Neither stunning nor brave

    Your penis isn’t womanly
    Your wig is poorly made
    Your idea of womanhood
    Just doesn’t make the grade
    You think we are just caricatures
    Or porn tropes for your use
    You pretend that you can be us
    But it’s merely more abuse

    You’re a man, you’re a man
    We can say it, yes we can
    That you’ll never be a woman
    Even if that is your plan
    Every cell is coded male
    From your birth until the grave
    You are simply a man
    Neither stunning nor brave

    Your great big hands and manly head
    Are difficult to hide
    A hand in front of Adam’s fruit
    Proof does not provide
    That you have changed your actual sex
    Because your brain is pink
    It’s laughable to those of us
    Who can actually think

    You’re a man, you’re a man
    We can say it, yes we can
    That you’ll never be a woman
    Even if that is your plan
    Every cell is coded male
    From your birth until the grave
    You are simply a man
    Neither stunning nor brave​


    The FULL banned poem: 'Harry The Owl Limerick Criminal': An illustrated version Whale Oil Beef Hooked | Whaleoil Media

    Ironically this limerick was originally composed by a feminist who apparently was insulted by the concept of "transwomen" because she believed it could undermine and derail the feminist movement. (How can you argue for special protections to uphold women when the other gender can just claim to be a woman?)
    Her name "Ali Bee" on YouTube and describes herself as a "Radical feminist, gender atheist, abolitionist, old woman singing", and the limerick first appeared in a song she sung and posted on YouTube on January 28, 2019.

    On a more positive note it would seem all crime had been abolished in the UK and this is what law enforcement has on its' plate.

    If only the british police could be as reactive for underage girls forced into prostitution and sexual traffick than bad poems.

    UK is a very sick place. I would welcome the apocalypse.
