Whenever we write a post about the U.K., we always end up asking, “What happened to the U.K.?” Political correctness apparently has not only infected the country more, but it’s been codified into law. Back in 2016, we reported that Nottinghamshire police were the first in the nation to classify misogyny as a hate crime. Police explained: “A hate crime is simply any incident, which may or may not be deemed as a criminal offence, which is perceived by the victim or any other person, as being motivated by prejudice or hatred.” A wolf-whistle? That’s a hate crime.
Now the U.K. Telegraph is reporting that police have recorded nearly 120,000 “non-crime” hate incidents that could show up on a person’s background check during a job interview. Here’s activist, healer, and radical intersectionalist poet Titania McGrath with more:
In the past five years, UK police have recorded 120,000 “non-crime hate incidents”.
This kind of police action is essential. For too long, people have been not breaking the law and getting away with it.https://t.co/Nyl8iK39QN

If you look closely at the “We Love Free Speech” banner, you can see the border reads “Woman = Adult Human Female.” Remember when author J.K. Rowling was canceled for tweeting #IStandWithMaya? That Maya was Maya Forstater, who was booted from the charitable organization Centre for Global Development for tweeting “offensive and exclusionary” things like “men cannot change into women.”
So police can write you up for a hate incident that isn’t a crime? And it goes on your record?
What happened to the U.K.?
Hurty words are far more serious than stabby knives.

I feel so much safer knowing this is happening. I only live through my feelings and this just feels right.

What is the point in having Thought Police if they don’t send people to gulags?

If there is one thing I’ve learned by increasing my wokeness is that government can pretty much solve any problem

Non-crime is criminal.

Quite right. These people must be stopped from not committing crimes

Arrest me now for all the crimes I've never commited. Non criminals like myself shouldn't be allowed to roam free on the streets.

Handcuff me now, 62 years of not breaking the law. Guilty as charged your honour, got a 50 year sentence, could have been worse, could have got life

65 a day…………………..?
If only there hadn't been cuts, they could have done at least a 100 a day.

Wow! That's a massive non-crime spree.

It’s lucky we have so many laws. If we had less there’d be way to many non criminal actions for police to cope with

Their resolved non-crimes figures must be through the roof.

Nothing like condemning tens of thousands of perfectly able-bodied citizens to unemployment because they said a few naughty words on social media. That sounds like "justice", huh.

Once facial recognition is in full effect we will finally be able to rest peacfully knowing that even a hateful stare at one of our woke commrads will be delt with swiftly and severly. Ah the social peace we will have. Good times coming my woke commrads, good times.

Disgusting. This news makes me literally shiver under my fur coat. All this hate. If we could only know in advance who might have hateful thoughts and then put those people away. It is the only way to protect us from all those evil ideas destroying the fabric of our society.

I think we should introduce a process where everyone starts life in prison and you have to earn the right to be released.
