‘Police the streets, not the tweets’.
In the United Kingdom under failing Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer, the censorship push and the legislation insanity have gone so far that sometimes serious crimes are punished less severely than a salty tweet.
That puts woke Met police of London in an impossible position, having to respond to free-speech manifestations as if they’re criminal acts.
It got to the point where Britain’s most senior police officer will be forced to present new Home Secretary with proposed law changes to stop officers from ‘policing tweets’.
The Telegraph reported:
“Sir Mark Rowley, the head of the Met Police, is proposing a shake-up of legislation that would give officers greater discretion to use ‘common sense’ when deciding whether to record and investigate complaints about comments on social media.
He wants Shabana Mahmood, the new Home Secretary, to change the rules so police officers are not required to record or investigate complaints when there is no evidence the suspect intended real-world harm.”

Other changes would curb the registering of ‘non-crime hate incidents’.
“Sir Mark’s proposals to protect free speech are being drawn up with other senior officers and follow the row last week over the arrest at Heathrow of comedy writer Graham Linehan, after a complaint about his tweet threatening to kick a trans-identified male ‘in the balls’ if they were in a female-only space.”

“More than 13,200 non-crime hate incidents were recorded by police in the 12 months to June 2024, a similar number to the previous year, despite new guidelines requiring police to investigate only ‘when it is absolutely necessary and proportionate and not simply because someone is offended’.”
