Obviously so, obviously so

Free speech is under threat because Britons feel they cannot speak out for fear of offending others over race, religion and immigration, a study has found.

Nearly half of those polled (49 per cent) believe people are too easily offended, particularly if they speak out on race and immigration issues, according to research for the Commission for Countering Extremism, which advises the Government.

The more outspoken people’s views, the more likely they were to feel constrained by the risk of offending others. Older, white males without a university education are among the groups who feel the most restricted.

The restrictions upon speech bite on the older working class male because that’s who the restriction upon speech are aimed at, the older working class male. They’re the most socially conservative part of the population and the anti-free speech is all about suppressing social conservatism. Therefore that it works out this way is obvious.

And?

Obviously true – that is why the grooming gangs happened.

On topic (I swear):

“A judge on Monday temporarily barred the Trump administration from revoking Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood, partially freezing a provision of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act just days after President Trump signed it into law.”

The legal theory is Bill of Attainder*. Planned Parenthood argues, successfully so far, that OBBBA targets PP directly. The bill does not name them directly, but is constructed such that it couldn’t apply to anyone but them.

So same with those Tim says are targeted.

I find it strange the Telegraph article doesn’t even state what the law(s) are. Probably part of the commies’ plan, to keep it undefined, so it can be used as wanted.

*Bills of attainder, as well as ex post facto, and statutes of limitation may be a US only thing.
