#News #Politics #FreeSpeech 

Finally, some good news about free speech: the courts have found in favour of ex-police officer Harry Miller in his battle against the police force that tried to investigate him for thought crime after he posted a "transphobic" limerick on Twitter.  

If you don't have laws around hate crime and hate speech in your country, you're lucky. In the UK, the police could investigate you - and you could lose your job, and be barred from working - for "non-crime hate incidents", where anyone - and sometimes nobody at all - perceived anything you (or your dog, or your car) did as being motivated by racism, hatred, bigotry, misogyny, or prejudice.  

There have been 120,000 of these non-crimes recorded since 2014, and they have included a dog barking at a stranger, a woman beeping her horn in a car park, a teenager quoting rap lyrics, and a woman repeating the scientific fact that you cannot change your biological sex.
