You can be sure that if the Conversion Practices bill is made law, we’ll all be in trouble for not believing men can be women.
📣🚨 FSU VICTORY!
A Scottish FSU member was driving on the M80 with his four-year-old son after a day at an amusement park when another car cut him up, nearly causing a collision.
Under his breath, he muttered something racist. The windows were down, but the other driver wasn’t looking at him. The only witness was his young son in the back seat.
Convinced the dangerous driver had been drinking, our member contacted the police. They eventually stopped both cars and reviewed his dashcam footage.
A week later, the police contacted him to say that an offence had been committed — not by the dangerous driver, but by our member, for words he had muttered under his breath in the privacy of his own car.
He was prosecuted for allegedly causing alarm and distress, even though only he and his young son were in the car. It is extraordinary.
The Free Speech Union found him an excellent barrister, and he was acquitted by the Justice of the Peace within minutes.
This is the closest we have come to defending someone prosecuted for thought crime.
This is the extent of police overreach in speech and thought policing. They need to get their priorities straight.

“This repeated implying of something in a roundabout way”
THAT’S what she says is an abusive conversion practice which should carry five years in prison. 😖

Listen to this 7 second pause before Dr Lerner answers a straightforward question. Then consider that a criminal court (CRIMINAL) would become involved in assessing the wholly subjective notion of “people’s repetitive implying”.
Good luck to all the therapists out there 😳View quoted post on X
Indeed. When the bill was being drafted, we asked then-minster Olivia Bailey MP what abusive practices need to be criminalised that aren't already covered by UK law. She couldn't answer. She said that would emerge during the process.
She has denied that normal parenting or prayer is the target of the bill. But that seems to be the answer.

I completely agree with all of this and would stress these points:View quoted post on X
- it's not clear why @oliviabaileymp is on the committee marking her own homework
- afaik there's no explanation for the compressed timetable for the pre-legislative scrutiny
