The British Government Has Abolished Freedom and possibly all communication between people
The British government has created a “non-crime hate incident” for which a person can be written up and become part of a file to which there is access that can result in the person cited for a non-crime hate incident being unable to find employment or keep a job or membership.
The alleged victim – or anyone else – can rat you out. It can be something you said or did, or just a tweet. If, and only if, the investigating officer determines there was no “dislike” or “unfriendliness,” then he needn’t write up the incident. If he thinks you are a nasty character who might do it again, at his discretion, he can put you into a database. If you apply for certain jobs, such as teaching, childcare, medicine, social work, a potential employer could find you out and decide not to hire you. For something that’s not a crime! There is no provision in the law to punish or even reprimand people who call in fake or ridiculous incidents.
Hostility can be nothing more than “dislike” or “unfriendliness,” and the “characteristics” are the standard stuff: race, religion, sex orientation, disability. An officer can get creative: he can write up any kind of “dislike” or “unfriendliness” if he “deems it necessary to record an incident involving a different characteristic that is not covered by hate crime legislation.”
This law turns all misunderstandings between people into non-crime hate incidents. As misunderstandings are common, especially between men and women, communication between people will be narrowed and possibly even stopped or every other word will have to be a disavowal that any hate is implied in what is said.
This law is the product of the LGBT, transgender, and immigrant-invader movements. Perversions and illegal entrants have been turned into protected categories.
In the Western world a unified citizenry is no longer possible. Ethnic-based nations have ceased to exist, and national sovereignty is being exterminated.
Some examples of non-crime hate incidents:
Someone in North Wales complained that her neighbors hung “a very large soiled pair of underpants on their washing line” and left it there for two months. She said that it was because she has an Italian name.
The same article mentions a complaint against a man who refused to shake hands with someone he thought was transexual. A Russian-speaking man claimed that a barber gave him an “aggressive” haircut after they talked about the war in Ukraine. A nine-year-old girl was written up for calling a classmate a “retard,” and two secondary-school girls got the treatment for saying that another pupil smelled “like fish.”
This article says that a vicar got a visit from the police because a homosexual was “alarmed and distressed” when the vicar said homosexuality is a sin.
People get a knock on the door for “misgendering” someone. The manager of a pub got a writeup because he kicked out customers who were having sex in the restroom. The complaint claimed it was only because one of the frolickers was transgender.
