Ever heard of a ‘non-crime hate incident’? The police record them against you if you’ve… well if… when you…

‘Non-crime hate incident’ is bollocks. Total and utter bollocks. It means you’ve said something not even nasty, just perhaps funny, silly or mildly insulting, yet in no way inciting to violence or even a mere threat. Like we all do about 97 times every hour. But its not recorded. So if you extend this form of what might previously have been known as ‘teasing’ onto an online platform, then its not teasing or ‘taking the piss’ but becomes elevated to ‘non-crime hate incident’. Because it sounds much more grand.

These ‘incidents’ of which 120,000 have been logged by the police in the last 5 years, are reported to them. Basically by someone who disagrees. Who objects. Who shows way more sensitivity than they do the essential ability to laugh at themselves (without which we all descend into total dickhead-dom from which there is no return or release).

In Britain we have a knife-crime epidemic where 100 teenagers get stabbed every day (these figures may not be official, nor a ‘non-crime hate incident’ even though I hate stabbing) so the police really have lots of time on their hands to fuck about with minor insults and slurs, issued without malice at various groups of ‘minorities’, particularly those declared ‘vulnerable’.

And so yesterday a man who I don’t know took the Humberside police to court. To have lifted his ‘non-crime hate incident’. And he won. The judge, in an uncharacteristic attack of common sense and decency, decided that to have the police basically monitor this man’s thoughts, ideas and words and take action against them because one single person was in some way offended, is a slippery slope to a nasty, Orwellian, KGB/Stasi type society punishing ‘thought crimes’.

All well and good except… the offended person was of a ‘trans’… disposition?… inclination?… process? Whatever. He/she/it (oops) was ‘trans’ and that’s all you need to know. And trans people are covered by the same level of insanity as are currently vegans and Muslims. Best to say NOTHING about any of them. Safer that way.

The Labour Party has now changed its guidance for members to include just such a madness. That adherence to an ultra tolerance to children as young as 4 months who display any kind of ‘trans’ tendency to immediately have their reproductive gear removed and put into cold storage until… whatever. And furthermore, anyone who disagrees with this level of madness will be forced out of the Labour Party immediately. No room for talk, for argument, even discussion. Well, there’s nothing like ‘free speech’ in a civilised society. And that is ‘nothing like free speech’.

I despair. But as a heterosexual male love god, I apparently know NOTHING!

Happy Saturday
