We asked @swpolice which of the five monitored strands they raise a flag for.
This was their answer:
We asked which emblems of the 5 Monitored Stands are carried on a police uniform. We got this answer:
So, if you are Black, Disabled, Old, Religious or Lesbian... forget it. @LGBTpoliceuk have monopolised flag poles and uniforms for the @stonewalluk cause. @threadreaderapp unroll

Something very significant and very concerning happened over the weekend which we think encapsulates the real dangers now faced by our democracy and the rule of law.
Embedded in the first version of the ‘Call to action’ was a link to a series of tweets by David Paisley which accused Joanna Cherry of ‘funding a hate group’.

Her crime? Donating to the crowdfunder of @SVPhillimore who is a member of this group.
Both @SVPhillimore and Joanna Cherry, unsurprisingly, complained about this. A combination of concise emails and Ms Cherry’s access to good libel lawyers resulted in a surprisingly swift climb down.

But some necessary questions.

Very interesting look at how the police collect and analyse ‘hate’ on Twitter - thanks @zeno001
We can see the challenges inherent in deciding what is ‘hateful’.
And how we can be ‘mapped’.

Interesting example of the current problem.

"The Adver has obtained figures through a Freedom of Information request revealing an increase of 1,000 per cent in offences reported to the police from one in 2015 to 11 in 2019 in Swindon."

a representative of Pride says

“The rise just shows the consequences of a society where transphobia is everywhere and must be challenged each and every time."

Remember one of those 11 is @SVPhillimore
And hopefully she is soon going to court to challenge her inclusion on this data base as false, unreasonable and hence unlawful.

So hopefully that terrible statistic will fall shortly!

More appalling news from Nice.

"Nice Mayor Christian Estrosi said that three people were confirmed dead, and that the attacker repeatedly shouted “Allahu Akbhar,” or “God is greatest” in Arabic."

And now we wonder. What are we allowed to say about this?

Is this a hate crime or hate incident?

Are we allowed to discuss the links between terrorism and fundamentalist Islam? Are we allowed to be critical of the Israeli state? Or because this will risk offending some, all discussion is forbidden, even in our own homes?

Can you see what it is yet?
Why the dogged insistence from the police in focusing on hate ‘crimes’? Do they really mean hate ‘incidents’ - which can simply be recorded without any further action and zero investigation?

While victims of serious crime know they have no redress. Image
The consequences for a society where people lose confidence in the police are obvious and serious. ImageImage

In a pub there would presumably be other witnesses. How do you propose evidence is gathered against people in their own homes? You are either proposing to encourage people to inform on their family/friends or authorising covert surveillance.

Which?
Next question. Define 'stirring up hatred against Jews' please. What if a guest at a dinner party expressed robust condemnation of the actions of the Israeli State? Does this count? If not - why not?
You want the law extended to cover 'hatred' against transgender people. Do you think @SVPhillimore expresses sufficient 'hatred' here to earn a charge? Many would say she does by simple utterance of the definition of 'woman'.

If not. Why not?
