The politicisation of the police

British police officers are enforcing Stonewall’s wishlist

In this week’s podcast, The Critic‘s Deputy Political Editor, David Scullion, spoke to Harry Miller, an ex-police officer who last year was visited at work by police officers who wanted to “check his thinking” on trans issues after they read some of his tweets.
