We’re always hearing from lefties that we need to be more like Europe, so what’s say we check in on how things are going across the pond?

A journalist has been accused of a hate crime, after she misgendered a trans person on Twitter. Hate crimes have a maximum two-year prison sentence.

But with knife crimes soaring across the UK, should police be investigating incidents such as these?@SwainITV with more. pic.twitter.com/eyh1NJfT1W — Good Morning Britain (@GMB) March 20, 2019

Accused of a hate crime?

Are we now liable to be prosecuted because we won't pretend they are something they are not? — Robert Lofthouse (@author_rob_76) March 20, 2019

The PC brigade should learn to accept that if you want to be weird, you can be, but live with it! — Les Clarke (@wardaler) March 20, 2019

Stick and stones may break my bones but some find Twitter more offensive. Guns and knives will end my life but words will get me arrested. #MadHouse — Maurice Brown (@MoBoDrums) March 20, 2019

And even worse? This crap is spreading.
