Britain’s police have become a complete and utter clown show. Too many forces have failed to put resources into the areas that need to be properly funded, such as the prevention and investigation of real crimes such as burglary and crimes of violence and instead have turned themselves into politically motivated forces, taking their orders from noisy and often unrepresentative external political activists.
A good example of such a force is Wiltshire Police who decided that they’d take seriously a complaint from a member of the public about Kelly Jay Keen-Minshull aka ‘Posie Parker’, the women’s rights campaigner. Basically Ms Keen-Minshull is alleged by the complainant that she said something that might have offended paedophiles. This person who decided to be ‘offended’ by something negative that Ms Keen-Minshull said about paedophiles and took their twisted sense of offence to Wiltshire Police who promptly decided that this comment alleged to have been made by Ms Keen-Minshull, required an intimidatory visit by police officers to Ms Keen-Minshull’s home.
Two officers from Wiltshire Police turned up on Ms Keen-Minshull’s doorstep on a Sunday afternoon and asked to come into her house for a chat, a request that Ms Keen-Minshull refused. The officers, presumably still on the doorstep asked a number of questions of Ms Keen-Minshull about a video she had made in which she said things about paedophiles that a member of the public felt were ‘offensive’. The officers accused Ms Keen-Minshull of saying things that were ‘untoward’ about paedophiles. The officer’s persisted in this line of questioning, even at one point asking Ms Keen-Minshull’s daughter her name, something clearly not relevant to this visit or the initial complaint by the offended member of the public. Ms Keen-Minshull eventually sent the police officers away with fleas in their ears and she was not arrested or charged with any offence.
Ms Keen-Minshull herself details the incident when the police turned up at her house in a video that is featured on Graham Linehan’s Substack pages. It is a video that makes for shocking viewing as it illustrates just how captured by political ideologies some police forces have become.
This cases raises two main questions for me. The first is what sort of person would take the time to put in a complaint to the police about someone saying ‘untoward’ things about paedophiles? The sort of person who is likely to do this might well be someone motivated by political hatred for Ms Keen-Minshull and about her work to defend women’s rights and her criticisms of the gender identity cult. The type of individual who runs to the police because nonces have been allegedly ‘offended’ may well also a person who might well require their hard drive to be checked. I don’t know of any reasonable person who would defend nonces and then whine to the police about being offended by negative comments about nonces.
The second question is why did Wiltshire Police take such a complaint seriously? Is t his a force so mired in political bias and political correctness that a report that should have been dismissed as the work of a green ink brigade nutcase was deemed by senior officers to require two officers to be removed from general duties in order to visit and attempt to intimidate Ms Keen-Minshull? I don’t believe for one moment that two relatively junior officers visited Ms Keen-Minshull because of the decisions of these two officers. It’s much more likely that a more senior officer detailed these officers to visit Ms Keen-Minshull in order to investigate the complaint about her ‘offending’ nonces. Did this senior officer or officers use any judgement or common sense in this case? Maybe if they had then this ludicrous complaint from a member of the public might have been dismissed as stupid and something that it was unnecessary to expend police resources on. However it’s more likely to be the case that Wiltshire is so dominated by political correctness and so primed to take every complaint of ‘offence’ seriously that because the offence box was ticked officers had to be assigned to it.
This Wiltshire Police incident highlights the utter state of Britain’s Clown World police where failing police forces like Wiltshire cannot clear up burglaries but can act as word crime enforcers for those who believe that nonces have a right to not be offended. Wiltshire Police have recently been placed in special measures by HM Inspector of Constabulary in part because Wiltshire have failed to protect the vulnerable, using resources effectively and responding to the public. Having seen that Wiltshire Police are more than willing to expend resources in protecting the feelings of nonces I can well understand why the Inspectorate has found that Wiltshire is a failing force and one failing the public that rely on Wiltshire Police.
As you know, I had a similar problem with the useless Metropolitan Plods over a blatantly concocted “complaint by a member of the public”. Left me in limbo for nearly 6 months, the case dropped “due to a lack of evidence”. There was NO evidence. As a result, as with so many, I no longer trust the Plods, & actively avoid them.
And wasn’t it Wiltshire who issued an Operation Midland based appeal for information recorded outside Edward Heath’s house long after he had died?
I believe that it was.
An all too common story these days. My foster son is presently being persecuted by police with nothing better to do for a pointless complaint resulting from his work as a door steward well over a year ago. The complaint is about an incident of disorder he had to sort out on his own and is made by a woman who was one of a drunken mob of about 12 he dealt with. The best bit is this was watched by 3 police officers from a safe distance who did nothing to help him, they claim that in spite off the violence used by the mob none off them remembered their body cams were switched off!
I’ve been searching for what Ms K-M actually said, quite difficult as none of the commentators seem overly concerned about it. I suspect though from watching some of her own footage after the event it was to do with her views on a connection between autogynephilia and pedophilia. She may have been implying that some transwomen are more likely to be nonces? This puts a quite different light on the rather clumsy police phrase ‘untoward to pedophiles’ interpretated by many as ‘nonces needing respect’ as against ‘transwomen more likely to be nonces’.
When you look at the list of convictions that I’ve linked below and consider the quite small size of the number in the population who identify as trans, then there does seem to be a disproportionate number of trans identified men who are sex criminals of some form or another. https://transcrimeuk.com/2017/11/12/male-transgender-individuals-convicted-of-violence-against-women-children/
Yes, thanks, but we need to go into how many of these people had mental healfh issues as well. There’s also a list of murders committed by people with serious mental health issues which I don’t think we yet deal with very well in the UK. It includes unfortunately the murder of an old school friend of mine by her son who developed schizophrenia and apparently did not get the right intervention or support.
Gender dysphoria is a mental health issue and the presence of one paraphillia such as autogynophilia might indicate that a person might be amenable to other paraphilias. When you look at the list of those trans identified men who have committed sexual offences and offences of violence we are seeing not female pattern offences but male pattern ones. Sadly there are a lot, far too many, trans identified individuals who are wrong ‘uns and the trans presentation that the individual gives might merely be the most visible of that person’s paraphilias. Also those with paraphilias might be attracted to transgenderism and related activities.
I’ve met enough genuine transsexuals to understand tht for some people transitioning is something that they do as adults when every other avenue of treatment for gender self image issues has been tried and failed, the problem is that there are others for whom transgenderism is a route to special treatment, access to women and children and possible lesser sentences should they be caught for sex offences. We need to go back to a time when the number of people given gender reassignment treatment was in the dozens rather than the thousands as is the case now. This less than spectacularly effective treatment for gender dysphoria should be reserved for the miniscule number of people for whom it might help and not, as is too often the case at present, used willy nilly, on those who are too young or mentally unstable to properly consent to such treatment.
I’m fully in agreement with you about Britain’s very poor services provided to those with mental health issues. Britain should never have shut down the mental hospitals as they solved two purposes. The first was to contain and treat those with mental illnesses and the second was to protect society from those whose balance of mind are catastrophically disturbed. Personally I blame Enoch Powell for this care in the community disaster as it was he, when Health Minister, started the ball rolling towards the care in the community disaster that we see today. https://www.canehill.org/timeline/enoch-powells-1961-speech

Part of the problem here seemed to be that the two coppers didn’t seem to have any idea what they were accusing her of. They hadn’t seen the video and didn’t know which one was being referred to. All they had was a totally vague accusation based on a complaint that they didn’t know anything about either. In short, the whole lot of them don’t seem to have a clue how to do their job, or even what their job actually is.
What I find particularly worrying about this incident is that the police appear to be so dominated by concerns of political correctness that their first response was not to find out whether there was anything solid about the alleged complaint or whether or not the complaint wasn’t vexatious, mendacious or frivolous, but to rush out dishing out ‘warnings’ for wrong think. These two officers and whoever was the more senior officer who sent them out are an indication about how low our police have sunk or been sunk by political correctness.
What’s galling is that you just know that Wiltshire Police would not have sent anybody out so quickly or so laden with ‘concern’ from officers, were the call for a reported burglary.
No, but whatever your issue about wasting police time we now have protestors outside libraries in the UK against ths Drag Queen Story Hour using police time to try to get it shut down by intimidation.
A lot of police time wasted when they could be catching real criminals, but they also have to support citizens’ rights to protest?
First of all there is a world of difference from a plainly intimidatory visit by police officers to Ms KJKM and the issue of police needing to facilitate a legal,lawful and peaceful protest. The second is part and parcel of living in a society with viewpoint diversity and a right to protest and assemble but the first is the State or agents of the State trying to put the frighteners on a citizen for perceived ‘wrong speak’ or ‘wrong think’.
I’m quite the fan of a good drag act but drag acts are most suited to adult only venues, drag is not suitable for children. Personally I’m pleased to see some pushback by Britons, provided of course that it is peaceful, against a concept, that of Drag Queen Storytime, that I don’t recall the public asking for or demanding but we are having it imposed on us by left leaning parts of the public sector. I’m all for children being read to by readers dressed as a character but there is something icky and someone suspect and manipulative about putting entertainers who are primarily associated with adult entertainment, in front of children.

“… drag is not suitable for children.”
Oh yes it is!
There’s a massive difference between a panto dame and the sort of gender ideology promoters in drag that are currently doing the rounds of two many British libraries. Panto dames are there primarily as entertainment and these characters have always been played by men just as the ‘principal boy’ in panto is played by a woman. This particular type of cross dressing may even have at its roots the historical prohibition of women performing on stage and with female parts played by male actors. Panto dames are for entertainment and might have cultural antecedents.
The drag queens who are performing in our libraries however are not there primarily to entertain, they re to promote the cult of gender identity and to promote it to children who are ill equipped mentally to see that it’s impossible to change sex.
