Maybe to lodge the most ridiculous NCHI?
‘Known offenders have hung a very large, soiled pair of underpants on their washing line,’ reads a somewhat surreal summary of the complaint by North Wales police. ‘They have been there for over two months.
‘The [injured party] believes that [they] are aimed at her because she has an Italian surname and it is in regards to the football.’This was during the Euro 2020 final, in North Wales. No, I've no idea either!
It is one of numerous non-crime hate incidents recorded under the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 as part of an initiative to gather information on cases 'clearly motivated by intentional hostility' that could significantly escalate.
Examples include a man in Bedfordshire who received a police record for ‘racial hatred after whistling the Bob the Builder theme tune at his neighbour, and an investigation by Wiltshire police into allegations from a person who claimed the length of their hair was mocked. Another individual was reported to Norfolk police for calling a Welsh person a 'sheep sh****r', while a report in Humberside related to a man asking whether a woman's Chinese restaurant food came 'with bats'.
Dixon of Dock Green wouldn't have been a much-beloved programme if it started today...

Crying Wolf. Storms of all Warning Colours and with much scarier monickers than "Bert!" have proved to be just feeble leaf shakers. So who is going to be worried by "Bert"? Woo-ooh, scary.
Eny fule do nkow that something very significant eroded all those Welsh mountains and those steep sided rock valleys with all the resulting water and debris ended up on those lush floodplains.
Maybe those out lashing politicians cannot imagine why all the previous hundreds of generations of primitive Welsh men (and women) did not build homes on this lovely flat land. With the river so near for ease of collecting fresh clean water. And the sewin at your front door begging to be trapped. It really is a puzzle.
