Irishman arrested in UK for 'causing anxiety' by retweeting meme
It is noteworthy that the "meme" being shared was pride flags arranged in a swastika pattern, and that the person who originally made the image runs the Bad Law Project, whose webpage(<a href="https://www.badlawproject.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.badlawproject.com</a>) contains statements such as this:<p><i>>Bad law is political ideology disguised as law. When we see police officers marching with demonstrators and waving political flags and chanting activist slogans - that is bad law.</i><p><i>>Our Equality Act 2010 is bad law, because it does not treat all people equally and can be interpreted in such a way as to discriminate against people with certain views or beliefs.</i><p>One of the people they feature on their website as oppressed by "Bad Law" is Calvin Robinson, who has this to say on twitter:<p><i>>“No LGB without T” is a highly political statement. What does a mental health issue have to do with sexuality?</i><p><i>>The trans movement is discriminatory towards women’s rights and female-only spaces.</i><p><i>>Anime is degenerate. There’s a reason most trans activists use anime avatars.</i><p>As far as I can tell it's an anti LGBT organization, and focuses on legal defense of people who engage in hate speech, and the repeal of anti discrimination laws.<p>Whether or not an arrest is warranted is another debate, but the it's important to highlight the context of the group who made the image to understand their motivations behind creating the image, and what it implies about people who share the image.
