House of Lords help continue to promote gay Hate Crime
Today, peers in the House of Lords thwarted a move to help protect gay persons from hate crime & homophobia by voting to keep a "free speech" as a defence to the law on inciting homophobic hatred.
Lord Waddington argued there should be no assumptions that discussion or criticism of a sexual practice constituted an attempt to stir up hatred.
He told peers: "One must look at the circumstances and the manner in which the words are spoken to see whether they were in fact threatening and driven by hate."
The government should be "declaring boldly" that letting people express their views, including views other people may not like is what a free society is all about, he added.
Soooo, that is what was meant by Devon & Cornwall Police who contributed to a catalogue of homophobically motivated police abuses in Cornwall.
Inspector Mark Bolt previously of Helston Police station, responded in writing, regarding a women in Helston who had screamed “FUCKING QUEER” in front of witnesses at a gay man that this was NOT harassment of the gay man.
Likewise Insp. Bolt also felt that it was NOT harassment of the same gay man by the same women, when she spread malicious rumor that the gay man had HIV/AIDS, even indicating as much in a written police statement (When he did not and had to prove it with a letter from the GU Clinic).
The same women was later alleged by her own son, to have conspired with another in making a serious false allegation against the same gay man, but that was ‘OK’ with the Devon & Cornwall police homophobes too.
So THAT is what is clearly meant by the Lords & police by ‘free speech’, the right to abuse, intimidate & violate the lives of gay persons
...and with the blessing of homophobic attitudes & practices of both UK police & a discriminatory House of Lords.
Given even the police admit homophobic hate crime against gay persons increased by 60% last year.
In theory this means that individuals – priests, bishops, vicars and comedians or anyone really – are free in the UK to criticise, verbally abuse & violate persons of homosexuality without fear of legal reprisals, just like the homophobic Cornwall police already allow.
The Bishop of Winchester, a senior Anglican cleric, said: "What is at stake is whether this House and this Parliament intends to outlaw, among not just Christians but others, open discussion and teaching of views that differ from the currently dominant political orthodoxy."
Actually what is really at stake is the lives & well being of gay persons attacked & abused as a result of the Lords 'green light' on homophobia.
What the Bishop really seems to mean is the homophobic church and other prejudicial bodies can continue to get away with promoting their brand of hatred against gay people?
Some peers, as well as the Ministry of Justice, were disappointed with today's result, saying the free speech provision would be used as a defense by those looking to incite hatred towards gays and lesbians. But these homophobes need no defense as police officers like Cornwall police Inspector Mark Bolt will happily cover up for them anyway.
Just like the ‘gay panic defence’ has previously been used as a pretext to beat to death gay persons. ‘Honest gov, I thought the faggot might touch me, so I beat him to death’...its happened, Oh, look, just this week by homophobic police officers in Texas, when they raided a gay bar on the anniversary of the STONEWALL protest.
Such is the DEPTH of HOMOPHOBIC attitudes & practices within police forces STILL across the world!
At the time of wrting the victim of the latest abuse by homophobic police is still in a coma.
And the sort of ‘Free speech’ wanted by the House of Lords is already is being used to justify hatred, intimidation & the violation of gay people lives in the United Kingdom by political & religious zealots.
Like the Catholic Bishop of Motherwell who has previously claimed gays only attended Holocaust memorials to gain sympathy, the Bishop completely ignoring that the Nazi OWN records have shown over 100,000 GLBT persons were arrested under the 175 German penal code, some 10,000 of these persons ending up in the Nazi death camps.
But when has the truth ever been a concern to either religious persons...or the police?
"No reasonable person supports the stirring up of hatred of any kind," said Andrea Williams last month. Williams, the director of Christian Concern For Our Nation, who helped to co-ordinate opposition to the plan to protect gay people from hate crime. "However, in 21st-century Britain we must find a way of being able to live peaceably alongside one another allowing for free and robust debate around every aspect of life, including reasonable criticism and discussion of all forms of sexual behaviour."
Tell that to the person (just as likely to have been a homophobic Cornwall COPPER), who smashed last month the windscreen and side window of one of my vehicles, parked on my property on our very rural isolated location in Cornwall.
That was just the latest of Cornwall POLICE instigated acts of in a chain of violence & abuse directed towards our household initiated by the homophobic Cornwall police scum, since 2004.
Free speech, that’s a joke, when I reported the catalogue of abuses carried out by Cornwall police officers, and gave it as evidence to the British Government Human Rights 2009 enquiry, Devon & Cornwall Constabulary threatened in writing to prosecute me for daring to speak out.
That’s the depth of the continuing HOMOPHOBIC attitudes & practices ENDORSSED still by the homophobes in Middlemore Devon & Cornwall Constabulary police HQ in Exeter, Devon.
Police = They are the primary, front line HOMOPHOBIC HATE CRIME problem, Bishops the rear guard!
