🧵The Cringe Countdown – Top 10 Most EDI-Obsessed Police Forces in the UK 🇬🇧🚨
Policing, but make it HR.

1/
Policing used to be about catching criminals.
Now it’s rainbow patrol cars, TikTok dances and HR-approved pronoun badges.
Here’s the Cringe Countdown: the 10 UK police forces most committed to fighting crime... against feelings. 🧵

🔟 @PoliceServiceNI – The Wrap Patrol

PSNI unveiled a rainbow squad car for Belfast Pride so bold it could double as a RuPaul tour bus.
Visibility? Maximum. Deterrence? Minimal.
Still, great photo op.

9️⃣ @NorfolkPolice – 37 Genders Later

Issued staff a guide with 37 identities and the “Genderbread Person.”
Includes “neutrois” and “grey-asexual.”
No arrests made, but several neurons were.

8️⃣ @cheshirepolice – The Rainbow Rover

Cheshire proudly rolled out the Hate Crime Car™ – a Pride-wrapped police vehicle to make you feel safe while your car gets stolen.
Tactical use? Decorative.

7️⃣ @BTP – Train to Woke Central

“If you don’t like this flag,” they tweeted, “don’t apply.”
Diversity – but only the approved kind.
Inclusivity score: rainbow. Legal score: pending.

6/
6️⃣ @LincsPolice – Strictly Come Policing

Caught on film doing the Macarena in full kit at Lincoln Pride.
Crime scene? Unattended. Rhythm? Impeccable.

7/
5️⃣ @MerseyPolice – “Offence is an Offence”

Drove around with a billboard reading: “Being offensive is an offence.”
It isn’t.
They had to retract it. The law remains unoffended.

4️⃣ @Humberbeat – The Thought Police Arrive

Investigated a man over a limerick.
Told him to “check his thinking.”
No laws broken. Just hurty feelings.
High Court: “Unlawful.”
Public: “WTF?”

3️⃣ @sussex_police – Pronouns Over Prison

Defended a convicted male paedophile’s gender identity on Twitter.
Deleted it. Apologised. Even their PCC said they’d “lost the plot.”
Plot still missing.

2️⃣ @PoliceScotland – Gender First, Victims Second

Recorded male rapists as female if they self-identified.
Eventually reversed course. But not before rape was classed a "woman’s crime."
Policy score: Spectacularly unwise.

1️⃣ @WestYorksPolice – HR with Handcuffs

Temporarily banned white British men from applying to be officers.
Applicants ranked by ethnicity.
Britain’s most EDI-funded force.
Crime prevention? Optional.

And that’s the Cringe Countdown.
Pride patrol cars. Pronoun policing. The Macarena.
In 2025, the only thing being arrested… is reality.

Sure I missed plenty.
