A win for sanity in the UK

Stuff reports:

Britain’s biggest police force has announced it will no longer investigate non-crime hate incidents.

The Metropolitan Police said it hoped the move would provide a “clearer direction for officers”, allowing them to focus on criminal investigations.

The force said incidents would still be recorded for intelligence purposes but officers would not get involved in “policing toxic culture war debates”.

The announcement came after Graham Linehan, the comedy writer who was arrested at Heathrow by five armed officers over messages posted on social media, was told he would face no further action.

Both are very good things.

The Police should only investigate crimes, not hurt feelings.

And you should only be arrested for a tweet if it is seriously threatening violence against an individual.
