Police have arrested a women’s rights campaigner for an alleged hate crime and seized an academic book from her home after she put up posters “directed towards the trans community”.
Jennifer Swayne, 53, was detained for more than 12 hours after placing posters around Newport that made claims about trans women in prisons and said “humans never change sex” and that men in dresses should stay out of women’s spaces.
She accused Gwent police of operating “like the Stasi” after they raided her home and took a book of essays on “the theory and practice of transgendering children”. Edited by Dr Heather Brunskell-Evans, an academic previously no-platformed by university students, the book contends that politics rather than science accounts for the rise in the number of transgender children. Swayne said that police did not say why they took the book, which contained her handwritten notes.
Swayne, who is disabled, was riding around Newport on her mobility scooter putting up posters on Sunday afternoon when police stopped her. She was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and displaying threatening or abusive writing likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress. The force said that it had received six complaints about offensive posters and told Swayne that evidence included CCTV video of a woman on a mobility scooter posting stickers in recent months. Swayne was released on conditional bail at 3.30am. Her phone was seized.
Last month Priti Patel, the home secretary, told police to do more to protect freedom of speech after judges ruled that recording “non-crime hate incidents” risked interfering with people’s right to express their opinions.
Fair Cop, which campaigns against the criminalisation of free speech, accused Gwent police of “unlawful interference”. Harry Miller, the group’s co-founder who won a landmark legal victory against another force when he was accused of alleged transphobic tweets, said that Gwent police were “out of control”.
Miller claimed that the posters that Swayne put up around the Welsh town were a “political statement” that did not come near the criminal threshold.
Sarah Phillimore, also of Fair Cop, said that the removal of the book was “concerning” and she awaited a knock on the door by police because she also owned it.
Superintendent Vicki Townsend of Gwent police said: “We’ve received several reports in relation to posters containing offensive material appearing in Newport between October and January. Officers on patrol in Newport saw a woman spraying stickers to two lamp posts.” The force refused to detail the nature of the stickers while the investigation was continuing.
Swayne said they were posters she had made at home. Phrases included “no child is born in the wrong body, humans never change sex”; “respect women’s spaces”; and “Woman = Adult Human Female”. Her other posters said that women were in danger in prisons from transgender sex offenders and called for “no men in women’s prisons”. One asked: “Are you happy for your 13-year-old daughter to shower next to an adult man, yes or no?”
Another said that men in dresses should stay out of women’s spaces. Swayne said that officers described one sticker, which said “cervix — it’s a woman thang”, as “very hurtful”.
She told The Times she was not transphobic and was educating the public about gender politics. “I have never made a sticker with the word trans in it. This is about women at risk,” she said.
Swayne said that police did not tell her why they had taken the transgender book — a collection of essays entitled Transgender Children and Young People: Born in Your Own Body.
Brunskell-Evans, who edited the book, said that the police appeared to be operating within a “very narrow, partisan view of what it is legitimate to have on your bookshelf”.
“That is dangerous for liberal democracy. A book that has been published, is in the public domain and has been for years, and does not break the law in any way whatsoever, should be of no concern to the police.”

Police have arrested a women’s rights campaigner for an alleged hate crime and seized an academic book from her home after she put up posters “directed towards the trans community”. Jennifer Swayne, 53, was detained for more than 12 hours after placing posters…
Owing to her disability, Swayne had to lie on her back in a police van on her way to the station to be questioned. Gwent police said it had received six complaints about offensive posters. The force said that it was required to respond when members of the public reported they were offended by posters.
Gwent police said that it had put out a public safety message a few days before the arrest because it had been reported that stickers had “sharp objects” attached behind them.
Swayne denied attaching sharp objects behind stickers and said that it would have been impossible for her to do so given that she had the use of only one arm. She added that claims of putting pins and glass behind stickers and posters was an “urban myth” that had often been associated with controversial campaigns.

Alex said something on U.K. column extra time yesterday: if people can band together, buy land, have small farms and gardens within that land, and do so in a non communist fashion with private ownership of homes, then we have a real chance of creating a sustainable counter economy to the one of wage slavery that we are currently bound to.
I’m going to do this both at home and abroad. I am interested in connecting with people who want to do likewise. The abroad locations I’m considering are southern Mexico, and Bulgaria. The main reasons being the cheap land and the poverty in those states. Although Bulgaria is in the EU, it lacks the necessary infrastructure to implement digital identities linked to digital currency. The same is true for the southern Mexico states. This natural immunity is not guaranteed to last forever. However, it must first be done in the U.K. The reasons for wanting to do the same abroad is for trade and to help people on as wide a scale as possible. These communes will become safe havens for those wishing to free the authoritarian cities and states.
This is the only viable method I can see working in defeating the forces which seek to further make us slaves. If this generation do not do this imminently, then it will become ever harder and eventually impossible for future generations to do it. We have to defeat this from the ground up and we have to start now. Planning without action is the same as being a sitting duck.
Please comment if you are someone with similar ambitions.

My favourite line is AM describing the betrayal by Robert The Bruce at Falkirk (never happened) to which Mel Gibson's heart broken William Wallace almost wailed:

One of our Australian stalwarts writes:
There is a lot going on in Australia and NZ that northern hemisphere people don't get to hear about. They see the MSM and we get the old "Australia has Fallen" line. It's rubbish. Things in some states and territories are bad but for the majority life goes on fairly normally now. We are just aware we need to act and people are acting. There is a Mark Sexton type of movement going on with police stations being served documents with requests to assist closing Vax centres down and explaining they are breaking the law and liable to prosecution if they do not assist. Qld and NSW very active with this. And now the Canberra convoy 40,000+ strong.

As an expat I can testify to three things:
1. Grow where you’re planted. It is extremely hard to build any kind of true community, especially the kind of likeminded, trusting community necessary for these ideas. It takes years and years in most cases to actually be able to trust people for good reason. In my opinion, it’s too late to start from scratch building a new community with people you don’t know well.
2. Moving country is unbelievably difficult, and building a community with or among people who don’t share your native tongue and culture will take even longer than if you stayed where you’re put. The links between the UK and the US are not as strong as people think. There are profound layers of difference between the two that take years to discover and can be very frustrating and alienating.
I’m from the States, I’ve lived in east Africa, and now I’m settled in the UK, and I wouldn’t dream of moving again unless I were literally fleeing to protect my children. I’ve experienced starting over fresh a dozen ten times in thirty years and it’s destabilising and isolating. The learning curve in each new situation is steeper than you expect. And it doesn’t plateau even after a decade. You just don’t need that on top of all the other skills you’ll need to learn, work you’ll have to do, and people you’ll have to work with to maintain strong enough bonds to survive in a parallel system.
3. All that said, yes, I think all of this would be easier in the States. There are already homesteading communities scattered throughout, land is cheaper, there’s less regulation, in many places growing food is easier than in the UK with its long winters. People also own guns, and people with guns are networked in militias-in-waiting to defend their property against grabs and invasions. I can’t see how that would work in the UK.
Strong character is the fundamental defence no matter what your situation, your choice, or the threat you face.
Store up for yourselves treasure in heaven, where moth and rust do not devour and thieves can’t break in and steal.
