It’s not often that I dish out praise to the Metropolitan Police but I have to commend them for changing their tune about a particularly obnoxious Troon. A few days ago it was revealed that the Metropolitan Police were taking zero action against a transgender activist who at Trans Pride last weekend made calls for women who object to the cult of gender identity to be punched in the face.

However, following what can truly be described as a massive amount of public pressure, especially from women and women’s rights campaigners, the Met has changed their tune somewhat and arrested the Troon who was videoed dishing out threats to women. I must admit that this arrest should have been done earlier and in particular because the Troon, named in a number of places as Sarah Jane Baker, is a violent criminal who is currently out of prison on licence. Unlike other people those who are released on licence have to keep to a specific set of rules imposed on them on their release. Mr Baker might well find himself recalled to gaol because of his decision to call for women who criticise gender identity theory to be ‘punched in the face’ and I’m not going to lose much sleep over this fact.

It’s good that this dangerous man has been arrested for inciting violence and the Met should be commended on this action. However it might have been better had the police acted when the alleged offence of inciting violence was first publicised instead of it taking a massive public campaign to get the police to act.

Here’s the video which has been shared by the feminist news site Reduxx and is apparently trending on social media.

It will be interesting to see how this case is disposed of as that might give the public some idea whether the police, the Prison Service and maybe the CPS are treating this transgender alleged offender the same as the would anybody else? We already know that the Met were somewhat reluctant to pursue this case, which is in stark contrast to how they deal with those promoting other causes, ones less favoured by the Establishment. Only time will tell whether this man will be dealt with leniently because they are trans, or whether they will be treated as harshly for incitement to violence as others would. But what we do know is that the police should have acted when the initial claims and complaints about the incitement became known to them and not have to be pushed by the public into action.
