A man who spoke of his 'dislike of Muslims' on a train from York to Leeds is being sought by officers investigating hate crime.Since when has 'expressing dislike' been all that's needed to pass the threshold of a crime?
A passenger on board sent a text message to BTP.But not a photograph of the heinous criminal?
The man was white with a shaven head and approximately 5ft 6ins tall and of a slim to medium build.He was wearing a blue bomber jacket with a white stripe, dark jeans and black trainers.With that description, I'm sure they'll track him down in a jiffy!
Officers are appealing for any witnesses who were on board the train and heard what happened, to get in touch. Or, if the description matches someone you know, to get in touch.Or maybe not, since they need the help of more quislings and informers.

Haven't the police got more important things to do? I've just looked up the figures and have found that Leeds has an above average level of violence and sexual offences, which I believe is far more important to deal with than someone having an opinion about Islam that some Muslims and the lefty snowflakes do not like https://www.police.uk/west-yorkshire/LDT_W/performance/compare-your-area/violent-crime/?section=msg_comparison#msg_comparison
ReplyDeleteIt is this sort of behaviour by police forces, where they concentrate on guff like this and not real crime, that is causing even normal law abiding people to look at the police with an increasing degree of disgust.
F211 is (as usual) spot on. Why in God's name are we now being regulated on our thoughts - but only when they're about a certain vile & violent creed?
ReplyDelete"...that is causing even normal law abiding people to look at the police with an increasing degree of disgust."
ReplyDeleteIt might be tolerated if - and it's a very flaky 'if' - they were doing their other roles well. But as we saw in the Gatwick drone flap, that's not the case.

Because those in charge are well aware of the powder keg they are sitting on.
