Somebody may have done something, possibly

Oh interesting.

Mind you the Telegraph is remarkably coy and evasive about it, not to say incoherent.

Headline:

Arrest after activist told crowd at London Trans Pride to ‘punch Terfs in the face’

That’s basically meaningless. They could be talking about the arrest of an activist in Hong Kong or Ulan Bator or Juneau. Is it the activist who was arrested or just some random person somewhere unknown?

Subhead:

Met says the person is in custody on suspicion of incitement to violence after a video of the incident was widely shared on social media

What kind of person?

Lede:

A 53-year-old woman has been arrested, police said, after an activist told a crowd at a trans pride event to punch gender-critical people in the face.

They stop being coy only to tell us a lie. He’s not a woman. Also, is the “activist” in question the “woman” mentioned in the first clause, or someone else entirely?

At the march in London on July 8, an activist was filmed apparently calling for protesters to “punch Terfs in the face”.

Who says he’s an activist? He’s a convicted felon out on parole, is what he is.

The Metropolitan Police said a woman had now been arrested on suspicion of incitement to violence in Westminster after a video of the incident was widely shared on social media.

He’s a man. A man a man a man a man. Stop pinning these horrible men’s crimes on us.

Terf is an abbreviation for “trans-exclusionary radical feminist”, a term used to describe people who believe that a trans woman’s gender identity is illegitimate.

Well there’s a meaningless claim. Two meaninglesses in one article and we’ve barely started. We don’t “believe that a trans woman’s gender identity is illegitimate”; we know that men are not women. This subject is already rotted from within partly because of obfuscation and gibberish; don’t be making it worse.

In the video, the activist was apparently seen telling a cheering crowd: “I was going to come here and be really fluffy, be really nice and be really lovely and queer and gay and laugh.

“But if you see a Terf, punch them in the f—— face.”

“apparently seen”??? There’s a video of him saying it.

A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: “A 53-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of Incitement to violence. She has been taken into custody.

“The arrest on 12 July is in connection with an incident during the Trans Pride event in Westminster on 8 July. A video was widely shared on social media.”

He’s a man. A man a man a man a man.
