Harry started tweeting because his wife told him - no one is listening to women. Macpherson meant hate incidents that provide useful intelligence - he did not mean me tweeting about fish!
Intelligence has to lead somewhere. Humberside claimed these incidents were used to create statistics, but they confirmed they didn't investigate them. Police are thus missing genuine useful intelligence.
Jeremy - what about someone who is worried about the safety of trans people as your jokes may lead to others being hostile? Harry - there is no evidence that occurs. We need to focus on the Judge's criticism of political policing
Jeremy - I am shocked to learn there are thousands and thousands of these; I wasn't even aware of the data base. Harry - the police may tell you or they may not. you have to put in a subject access request and you must know the force its been logged with.
Mention of ME only finding out I was recorded because someone bragged about it on Twitter.
Jeremy - what does @JoshuaRozenberg make of all this?

Police say they need to record this as incidents escalate if unchecked. So it must be recorded. That is policy overturned by the Court of Appeal.
Jeremy - but it sounds as if they must just have a load of porridge, a load of guff on there!

JR - the CoA said they could understand the reason the police do it, to prevent crime etc, NCHI may indicate community tension. You can see original justification but CoA also said things have moved on since 1999. You can't simply rely on partially what MacPherson said.
Jeremy - so what MacPherson said was 'if I perceive it to be a hate crime, its a hate crime' - and that's completely illogical!
JR - many are critical of that recommendation. It's not only illogical - it's pointless.

CoA has said new guidance is needed. Harry - the College of Policing will have to scrap this guidance. They are acting like the Snark. We may comply or we may not -we'll see. We find this terrifying.
