The area covered by the West Midlands Police force is one that has had a historical and current problem with terrorism. Partly this is down to the fact that terrorism and terrorist activity is more likely to be a big city problem rather than a small village problem but mainly because the West Midlands Area is heavily populated by Islamic communities and cultures that are known to be associated with terrorism.

West Midlands Police (WMP) have a massive issue with terrorist suspects, terrorist activity and terrorism planning primarily because of the population make up. This is similar to how, when Irish Republican terrorism was an issue, those parts of the British mainland that had large Irish populations also had issues with local support for Irish Republicanism and by extension also with Irish Republican terrorism.

You would think wouldn’t you that with all the known problems of Islamic extremism and terrorism that the West Midlands have then the primary concern of WMP would be the terrorism and extremism issues that emanate from the area’s Islamic communities. This is because Islamic extremism is not just a problem for the general population it also afflicts those Muslims who want nothing to do with such extremism but who end up being negatively effected by it.

Police resources, we keep getting told are limited. It’s the excuse they trot out when they can’t visit following a burglary or are unable to prevent or investigate car theft or criminal damage. You would expect therefore, with limited resources that a force like WMP would use its Counter Terrorism resources where they are really and desperately needed, such as in countering terrorism.

Sadly this is not the case. According to reports on the Left wing leaning Pink News and on ITV, West Midlands Police is allocating scarce counter terrorism resources to deal with negative online comments made about one of their transsexual officers. Now if these comments were genuine and credible threats to kill then there would be some justification in using police resources, although maybe not counter terrorism resources, to investigate them as threat to kill has been an offence since the Offences Against the Person Act of 1861. However I have my doubts as to whether this is the case. This is because if there were threats to kill then it would be in the police’s interest, especially a very politically correct police force like WMP, to publicise that fact. They could use evidence of such offences to blow their own trumpet about credible threats to their own officers. That they did not makes me wonder whether the comments are of considerably less seriousness.

The transsexual officer in question, Skye Morden, a public order specialist officer, was not unwillingly outed in the press or on social media because of her trans status, she actively sought and courted publicity about her experience as a trans officer in the WMP. She appeared in online videos promoting Birmingham Pride and lapped up the publicity given to her when she got a ‘Pride of Birmingham Award’. The result of such publicity was that a lot of people commented on her story negatively because, let’s face it, gender ideology is a controversial subject and people, especially women, are starting to get very pissed off with the aggressive and sometimes violent nature of some trans activists.

The WMP is being pretty cagey as to the nature of the comments, something that makes me a bit suspicious as to whether these comments really did cross the line from being merely nasty to being actively criminal on the lines of being a threat to kill. The only information that we have from Ms Morden and the WMP is that they were ‘hate comments’. The problem is that the term ‘hate comments’ can mean absolutely anything. It could be something meaningful or it could be just complete bullshit comments of the sort that trigger the snowflakes. The comments could range from those questioning whether those suffering from the mental illness of gender dysphoria are suitable to be police officers, or calling into question the nature of the cult of trans right through to genuinely worrying things like threat to kill.

Ms Morden is whining about the negative comments she’s getting but to a certain extent by seeking out publicity, speaking about her experiences and accepting awards for being a trans officer, she’s brought a lot of this negative publicity on herself. I doubt that she would be receiving a fraction of the negative comments that she’s getting had she just kept her head down and just got on with her day to day police work. I also don’t think that WMP have helped matters by allowing the dissemination of a publicity photo of Ms Morden (see below) holding a taser which some have said makes Ms Morden look more than a little ‘unhinged’.

Another thing that bothers me is that neither Ms Morden nor WMP itself is saying where these so called ‘hate comments’ are coming from, which gives us the public no means of checking whether they are as serious as she and WMP are saying they are. Ms Morden has claimed that some of the comments are coming from ‘neo nazi and far right forums’ which she interestingly does not name or identify. But on these forums they have a go at everyone not like them and don’t just have a go at her or people like her. It’s the nature of the beast I’m afraid. Neo-Nazi forums do contain lots of bedroom dwelling jackboot lickers who toss themselves off over pictures of the uni-testicled Austrian and hate everyone, including hating people like myself, Jewish Conservatives, it needs to be said. Personally it would be interesting to see the sources of the ‘hate comments’ that she claims to have received so that we can judge the comments for ourselves. If the comments that have been voiced about Ms Morden are similar to those I’ve seen on Twitter then the majority might be pretty vanilla but are views that run counter to the views promulgated by the cult of trans and as we’ve seen too often recently the Cult of Trans really doesn’t like to have its ideology questioned in any way.

As I said earlier, the West Midlands police area is one that has a lot of terrorism problems, mostly Islamic terror problems it needs to be said and these real problems obviously need a lot of resources directed towards them. However I question the wisdom of diverting valuable counter terror resources away from real terror problems towards a ‘hurty words’ case. This is something that might be a nothingburger or could be more properly dealt with by other arms of the force and which at the end of the day are the result of publicity seeking by both Ms Morden and by WMP themselves. I don’t think that this is really a case for counter terrorism officers and may me more likely to be a case of WMP using counter terrorism resources in order to virtue signal with public money.
