Arrested an police in yorkshire. Arrested an autistic girl this week apparently for the crime of saying that a Police Officer looked like her lesbian nana havent had a look at the Police Officer. Im not worried that accurate descriptions are illegal in the uk. Heres a picture of the arrest. How many Police Officers does it take to arrest one girl . Its lucky they didnt have to change a light bulb as well. The police say that theres more to this case than meets the eye, but they havent said what that could be. And last night they released a statement saying that they were dropping charges. It all dropping the charges. It all sounded a crock me. The sounded like a crock to me. The police had just escorted the teenager home after shed got drunk in a night out, but she was a home, a phobic was accused of a home, a phobic pubuc was accused of a home, a phobic public order offence. This type public order offence. This type of offence cant be committed within a private dwelling, but if shed said it while they were out, why didnt they her out, why didnt they take her straight instead of straight into custody instead of bringing it doesnt bringing her home . It doesnt make. But this isnt a one make sense. But this isnt a one off. Britain is the world leader in ridicule. Off. Britain is the world leader in ridicule. Us off. Britain is the world leader in ridicule. Us arrests a man off. Britain is the world leader in ridicule. Us arrests a man in aberdeen was prosecuted for farting at police. Stewart cook was told to bend over during a strip search and then deliberately farted in the direction of the officer three times, stating that. How do you like that . I believe they charged him with breach of the ring. Peace the Police Charged another autistic child in yorkshire for accidentally scuffing a book. A kid in wakefield brought a quran into school as a forfeit. It fell out of a bag and was slightly scuffed, but no damage. But it scuffed, but no damage. But it led to Death Threats from local members of the religion of peace. Instead of investigating the Death Threats, which are illegal, the Police Charged the child with a non crime hate incident , basically a charge incident, basically a charge that stays on your record permanently. And isnt a crime. But lets police the government and future employers know that youre guilty of wrong. Think youre guilty of wrong. Think harry miller, a former Police Officer from humberside , was officer from humberside, was investigated by police over a limerick that he shared on twitter. A cohesion officer informed harry that although he hadnt informed harry that although he hadnt broken any laws, he should not engage in political debate on twitter because some people dont like it. Scottish people dont like it. Scottish feminist Marion Miller was arrested after posting this picture of a suffragette ribbon which a trans activist on twitter complained was a violent hate crime because it could be perceived to be a noose. Its absolute nonsense to look at it. It looks like a suffragette fibbon it looks like a suffragette ribbon because thats what it is. But again, i suppose is. But then again, i suppose trans activists are used to identifying things as objects. They nothing like the they look nothing like the womens rights activist kayleigh j. Keane, aka posey parker , j. Keane, aka posey parker, posted a video about safeguarding children and was then questioned by police for being untoward about and their. Youre supposed to be untoward about them. What sort of world are we living in when police elevate the rights of over women and children . I guess it explains why they did nothing about the grooming gang scandal. But why are the police doing all this . Oh, it must be because this . Oh, it must be because theyve solved all the crime, right . So theyve got nothing else to do wrong. Crime is soaring in the uk. There were more than 6. 3 million crime offences recorded by the police last year, the most in two decades Violent Crime has tripled in ten years and Sexual Offences have quadrupled and the police arent solving crimes anymore. Are burglary clear up anymore. Are burglary clear up rates have nearly halved to just 4. Sadly the police just dont care about crime. Theyve been captured by woke zealots who put wokeism at the heart of Decision Making instead of common sense. If you want the police to attend a burglary, youll have to say the burglar misgendered you on the burglar misgendered you on the way out the door or left a transphobic limerick in the fruit bowl. And then a whole squadron of rainbow helmeted rozzers will track them down. I dont entirely blame the Police Officer either. One of the flaws officer either. One of the flaws of hate crime laws is that theyre not intuitive. When theyre not intuitive. When i worked in policing, i asked a policeman how he remembered all the laws to apply them properly. He said he didnt. He just thought in a situation if he didnt know the law, what would my mum was right . And that my mum think was right . And that would the law. Would generally echo the law. Thats impossible to do when hate crime laws make some people protected classes and criminal eyes thought the sooner we get the ideology out of policing, the ideology out of policing, the better. The police should do away with the concept of hate crime and just deal with actual crime and just deal with actual crime. Crime. All right. Hello. Crime. All right. Hello. I made it. I know. I know. Im in risk of making this scottish olympic team with that spread , that is. Spread, that is. Anyway , tell me, what do you anyway, tell me, what do you think . Think . Do you agree or do you disagree . Email in gb views. Gbnews. Com ill get to your emails after the break, but reacting to my big opinion tonight are my Brilliant Panel of radio and Television BroadcasterDavid Hamilton. Great to see you. Weve got great to see you. Weve got journalist Hilary Freeman. How journalist Hilary Freeman. How are you doing . And weve also got newspaper columnist Garry Bushell. Its great to have you all here. And i mean, would you make we all must stood up and applauded it was a fantastic piece. Absolutely fantastic. And quite right because our police now are trained in all sorts of things to do with Critical Race Theory and gender ideology and all this stuff. They forget no all this stuff. They forget no one tells them about free speech. And this is a terrible thing that we are now being having people arrested in their home for saying things. Its just outrageous. Yeah, you should be able say hate should be able to say hate crimes , a fake thing , wrong. Crimes, a fake thing, wrong. Concentrate on real crime because the things that are supposed to be covered by hate crime are already already covered by law. Yeah, well, and this is the thing. I mean, so much of hate crime isnt. I mean, when harry miller took his case to the court , i think he ended up in court, i think he ended up in the Supreme Court with it. The judge said, you know, none of this even strays into the foothills of criminality. No i mean, its easy, isnt it . Its easy. Its soft. The police dont have to worry about getting into trouble all they dont have to worry about getting beaten up. They can just, you know, deal with this stuff say weve weve weve stuff and say weve weve weve arrested someone. Weve cleared this and its easy for them. Arrested someone. Weve cleared this i and its easy for them. Arrested someone. Weve cleared this i thinki its easy for them. Arrested someone. Weve cleared this i think theyre sy for them. Arrested someone. Weve cleared this i think theyre runningem. And i think theyre running scared think theyre scared as well. I think theyre running of what we running scared of what what we said them of them being said about them of them being investigated , of being seen to investigated, of being seen to be you know , not toeing the be you know, not toeing the right line. Yeah. So i mean, the easy option , isnt it . Easy option, isnt it . Yes. Its just an easy option for them, really. And i dont think actually i mean, this this girl autistic. I dont think girl was autistic. I dont think referring somebody as their referring to somebody as their lesbian nana. Its referring to somebody as their lesbian nana. Its not that bad. Lesbian nana. Its not that bad. Maybe it was the moustache that did it. I know. But you did it. I dont know. But you know, that bad, is it . Know, its not that bad, is it . Well, wouldnt be taken as a well, it wouldnt be taken as a compliment, actually. I mean, it hasnt been skinned. Is the copper. How thin skinned if you cant . I skinned are you if you cant . I mean, have had worse. Mean, she must have had worse. Said her, surely. Said to her, surely. Its the nana that she. Well, it wasnt a sort of being used pejoratively. I mean the autistic, you know, the girls autistic, you know, somethings people somethings autistic. People cant state the obvious cant help but state the obvious or state. Whats their their reality . Was saying that reality . And she was saying that this particular police this this particular Police Officer looked like nana , officer looked like her nana, who lesbian. So, i mean, who is a lesbian. So, i mean, shes not being homophobic as the mother observation. Yeah, its. Its an observation. Well, they should do is they should concentrate on the shoplifters. I know. They shoplifters. Yeah i know. They arrested a few the other day, but happening all over but that is happening all over the country and people just i know where i live in sussex. People. I must stop doing this. But people are walking into shops just helping themselves and again. And the and walking out again. And the staff are. Richard madeley yes , staff are. Richard madeley yes, but me and richard, i know you said that the staff are frightened to do anything about it. And where are the police . Probably an hour away, you know. Yeah probably not going to someones door about a tweet, but i can i say i did read a but can i can i say i did read a little bit about this autistic girls story and she is 16 and the police had to bring her home from Leeds Town Centre very drunk and being quite disruptive i so so| 5mm so i think maybe theres a little bit more to it than her just making this. Which of us havent been taken out from leeds . Helen, on. Taken out from leeds . Weve on. Taken out from leeds . Weve weve. Taken out from leeds . Weve weve all drunk weve all weve all drunk a bottle of white lightning and leeds mean its Leeds Town Centre. I mean its not crime, but mean i mean not a crime, but i mean i mean the police do by and large. I mean i think in britain weve got the best police force in the world. There fair . Id rather be arrested cops in britain arrested by cops in britain than cops pretty any other country. I think they were. Think i think they were. I think they were the best police force. But i think people have lost a lot confidence in them in lot of confidence in them in recent years. And i think its a great shame. I dont know the answer to it, but i think probably you hit the nail on the head bothering too much head there bothering too much about kind thing and not about this kind of thing and not real about this kind of thing and not reaiyeah. Weve this yeah. And weve seen this seep into all areas of life. I mean, all public institutions, also private businesses. Theyve mean, all public institutions, alscequity,3 businesses. Theyve mean, all public institutions, alscequity, diverse sses. Theyve mean, all public institutions, alscequity, diverse city. Theyve mean, all public institutions, alscequity, diverse city andeyve got equity, diverse city and inclusion departments and officers that go around force the sort of woke dogma. I mean, the sort of woke dogma. I mean, even though its the idealistically , its aiming for idealistically, its aiming for a for a Better Society wants everybody to be treated more fairly. And all the rest of it in reality , it seems to be in reality, it seems to be ruining everything. Ruining everything. Reality is what they dont look at. Yeah reality is not their business. I mean, but youre right. I mean, although there have been a lot of problems with the police force lately , but there are still a lately, but there are still a hell of a lot of good cops out there doing. Yeah, yeah. And thank god they are. Thank god they are. Because the problem is probably more the top. Yes. Probably more at the top. Yes. But the problem is but the problem with police is you never see them. You know, when i was a boy, which i admit is a long time ago, but it was the bobbies on the beat. Who were people particularly were the people who particularly at are sounds see at night here are sounds see a light investigate. But light theyd investigate. But burglary now is bottom of the list of priorities. Its horrible being burgled. Yeah. And all the i mean acquisitive crime and also Violent Crime which is which is worrying and especially, you know, living in or near london. You must worried about you must be worried about i mean, knife crime. You mean, theres knife crime. You hear reports every day of stabbings murders. Stabbings and murders. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You want want them to you want you want them to target crime, the actual target actual crime, the actual violent and also to give Violent Crime. And also to give you a feeling of that, you can walk the streets without worry. Id like them to investigate every burglary. I think theyve said that they they will do that in. But they certainly in future. But they certainly havent. And there are so havent been. And there are so many like that , you know, many crimes like that, you know, which been to which which has just been put to the the pile. I mean, the bottom of the pile. I mean, you shocked to find you were you not shocked to find out they werent already out that they werent already investigating burglary . Investigating every bu
