TOMORROW. The Court of Appeal will examine the validity of the Hate Crimes Guidance.
Hopefully it will also be aware of the existence of a new movement #superstraight.
This is a declared sexual orientation now with its own flag. And subject to threats and hatred.
Remember. The police MUST record ALL reports about hatred towards sexual orientation, simply because anyone believes someone has experienced hate because of it.
They state there must be ‘categorical’ evidence of malice before they would refuse.
We and others continue to point out the absurdity of perception based reporting of ‘hate incidents’. Not a single police force could tell us what they did with their ‘hate incident’ data and how they used it to prevent escalation.
But hey. The law is the law. As the police are so convinced this is the way to tackle the scourge of hate in our communities, don’t forget to call out and report every example of #superstraightphobia you see.
They are real. They exist. They are valid.

Its been 2 years since Harry’s thinking was first checked by PC Gul - described by Mr Justice Knowles at the first hearing as behaviour akin to the Cheka, the Stasi and the Gestapo.
In that time over 120k ‘non crime hate incidents’ have been recorded. The police claim this is ‘essential’ to prevent our ‘escalation’ into criminality - but when asked, not a single force could tell us what they did with this data, other than disclose it to potential employers.
In 2 weeks time, we are at The Court of Appeal challenging the Hate Guidance. Even if you think @HarryTheOwl101 is a nob, please consider throwing something into the pot. We have the opportunity to win this.
We are challenging the practice of police recording names in the absence of a crime, in the absence of hate, in the absence of evidence.
Since October 2020, police must now record children on a Hate Crime database if, for instance, a 15 year old girl objects to a 15 year old penis in the changing rooms.
Extremely worrying:
A Conservative group warns of the United Nations Human Rights Bureau's plan to collect names of organizations or individuals who in any way oppose the LGBT agenda. “Religious narratives” about gender and sexuality also come into focus.
On its website, OHCHR calls for "statements" for the drafting of a report on the subject of "Gender, sexual orientation and gender identity". According to the Christian Post, the editor of the appeal, Victor Madrigal-Borloz -
the "United Nations Independent Expert on Protection against violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity" - is looking for information about the actions of individual nation states with regard to questions of sexual orientation and gender identity-
More coverage of @HarryTheOwl101’s killer point - the police do NOTHING with the ‘hate incident’ info they gather - other than leave it on your police record for onwards disclosure. thetimes.co.uk/article/hate-c…
Let’s just consider ‘escalation’ for a moment. Harry didn’t stop airing his views. He carried on, airing them to all and sundry and is taking the College of Policing to court. On those ‘five steps’ to murder - where do the police think he now is?
Similarly SVP has been reported 3 times to Wiltshire and once to GMP. Pretty clear pattern of escalation there! Is she under surveillance now? If not - why not? What is the point of the police recording that she discussed an article and this upset someone?
