In 2019, Harry Miller, an entrepreneur and former constable, was contacted out of the blue by Humberside Police. He was told that he was being investigated because the police had been contacted by a third party who was offended by a poem that he had retweeted. The complainant, described as a ‘victim’ by the investigating officer, deemed the poem to be transphobic. Miller hadn’t written the poem, he had only shared it. And rather than ignore the offensive tweet, this person had thought it would be a sensible use of police time to track down the culprit. This is the kind of stuff Andrew Doyle on Free Speech Nation is all about uncovering.
