Hate Crime?

Avon and Somerset police officers are painting their nails for anti slavery day (because the neon nail vanish will terrify the human traffickers) and are getting some abuse for it which they are not taking kindly too.

Imagine if as recently ago as 1997 you'd told people that in the not too distant future the Police would concern themselves with painting their nails and attending gay parades in their LGBT-liveried cars.

I wonder if there is something more to these kind of stunts: It's noted who is happy to go along with this kind of crap and it's also noted who isn't, then come promotion time, the 'right thinking' people who are happy to follow the narrative can be given a leg up.

Cat-calling and wolf-whistling now classed as gender-hate crimes by Avon and Somerset Police

Wouldn't cat-calling and wolf whistling be more accurately described as gender 'love crimes'?

Newspeak, it's becoming a problem...

I suppose the logic is that if you abuse someone because of their race it falls under hate crime so if you abuse someone because of their gender why would that be any different?

I'd have thought enough laws already exist to cover people being dicks and doing stuff like this.

That is a very interesting thought.

Common Purpose?

Do you think the average Avon & Somerset bobby on the beat has the first clue who common purpose are?

Indeed. I'd prefer to omit the guns but I'm OK with the rest of it.

Brilliant. So un-PC-tastic. Just tell me where to get the t-shirt (guns and all).

Gloucestershire Police want people to report ‘non-crimes’ to them.

[WinstonWolf]

We should start reporting the moped muggers as hate crimes, they might actually get dealt with then...

[Smiler.]

I went to the fridge earlier to retrieve a rather tasty sausage roll.

It wasn't there, a hateful thing to do as I was starving.

After 20 minutes on the hate crime holine, I finally managed to speak to an operator.

Another 20 minutes later, I was told I was talking to the wrong department & I should call the ate crime hotline.

Unbelievable.

You can bet your bottom dollar the ones going for senior promotions do though

Meanwhile, our licence fee is going on stuff like this - "The uncomfortable truth is that the white race is the most violent and oppressive force of nature on earth"

Surely this would class as a hate crime?
