Is it now a crime to like a poem about transgenderism?

This is a story about Harry Miller, a man who has lived a life that might be described as blameless and even admirable. He’s the director of a company that employs 70-odd people in one of the poorer bits of England, invests in its staff and community, and uses its financial and technical expertise to raise large sums of money and make life better for people who really need it in very poor parts of Nepal.

Miller, a former police officer, is not frankly, the sort of person you’d expect to the subject of a police inquiry. Yet according to Miller on Wednesday this week, he found himself answering questions — for 34 minutes – from an officer from Humberside Police. He doesn’t live in Humberside, incidentally, and nor is his business based there.

What had he done to draw the attention of the police? There is no suggestion that Miller has done anything illegal.
