Always have been worried about state endorsed buffer zones, which criminalise speech. Here, the Canadian Gov realises my worst dystopia fears.
RT @realchrisrufo: Canadian politician Kristyn Wong-Tam, who uses the pseudo-pronouns "they/them," proposes legislation to criminalize "offensive remarks" within 100 meters of a Drag Queen Story Hour.
They want to eliminate free speech and turn normal people into criminals.

Today's row on grooming gangs SO frustrating. Truth is, politicians on all sides ignored this scandal for yrs; also many snubbed those abused young women. Like those punished as gender critical, wrong kind of victims. Made link in Lords' speech last year https://hansard.parliament.uk/Lords/2022-07-14/debates/E1BBA53C-B8D0-4640-B0F9-4F86C380A8CA/details

I keep wanting to at least relax and enjoy #GreatExpectations on TV. One of my favourite novels. Many adapations I have both admired and quibbled over. But FGS - all this BDSM kink vibe is making it unwatchable.

Too many calling for compassion for Shamima Begum, given that she has admitted she chose to join the barbaric ISIS. BUT, when government stops her citizenship is it actually because they are too complacent about keeping UK citizens safe from home-grown radical Islamist threats?
