UK: Punch in the face - Police officers claim that the pro-life activist who “gave offence” is just as guilty as her attacker
Offending someone is the same as punching them in the face, a police officer on duty in Norwich has told me.
What made his comment all the more shocking at the time, was the fact that both of these things had literally just happened.
A female member of my public education team had just been punched in the face by a member of the public who took offence to what she was doing. Although my colleague had done nothing threatening or violent (she didn’t even retaliate to defend herself), when Sgt Chris Clay finally turned up on the scene, he essentially said that we were as much to blame as our attacker was.

‘Where Is She?’ MSNBC Host Betrays Kamala Harris, Torches Her for Major Failure at the Border
Kamala Harris has utterly failed to address the catastrophe at the southern border. Under direction from Joe Biden, Harris was entrusted with getting the border under control.
“Now, we’ve had consistent months where some 200,000 illegal aliens that we know about have been detained by Border Patrol,” Townhall reports.
“It’s unsustainable,” the report adds. “It’s an open border policy without the Biden crew explicitly saying so.” Even the liberal “news” network MSNBC can no longer defend Harris.

COMMENTARY ON THE BELOW ARTICLE: What a shock. Big Tech censorship of critics of Black Lives Matter? You don’t say.
Great article by the way. I’m not criticizing the writer at all. Though I haven’t read his own book yet, but it is certainly on my backlog list.
Foe now I’ll just point you in the direction of some further educational material and recommend some books such as ‘Black Lies Matter’, by Taleeb Starkes, listed in our newly improved Recommended Reading section here – BrandX
Amazon’s Senseless Bid To Bury My Exposé of Black Lives Matter
Many Americans think that Black Lives Matter is a paragon of social justice. And who can blame them? Most of the media have failed to tell them the truth: that the BLM organizations were founded, and are led, by people recruited and trained by actual communists to—in their words—“dismantle the organizing principle of society.”
Even Big Tech helps to cover up the truth. I know this because Amazon obstructed for a week my effort to shine a spotlight on BLM.
I wrote “BLM: The Making of a New Marxist Revolution” precisely to educate and expose what the media have kept from Americans. Encounter Books published it Sept. 7—but on Sept. 14, we learned Amazon had blocked our ads for the book.

Facebook Oversight Board Calls For More ‘Transparency’
According to new reporting from The Wall Street Journal, the Facebook Oversight Board is calling for more transparency from the platform.
The Board made the recommendation in response to The Journal's critical reporting of the Big Tech giant and the affect Instagram has on young women and girls. As part of their investigation, The Journal slammed Facebook for its flawed practices that “cause harm.” “Facebook Inc. knows, in acute detail, that its platforms are riddled with flaws that cause harm, often in ways only the company fully understands,” said The Journal.
