Miss B is a 14 year old who is gardening supported by FairCop.

"Like many teenagers, Miss B. likes to discuss cultural issues with her friends and peers as part of a diverse and open school environment. However, the new APPHCG guidance from the College of Policing could see a “non-hate crime incident” recorded against her name, should a person to whom she is speaking – or a third party, such as a teacher or fellow pupil who did not even witness the incident – report her, however unfairly or mistakenly, for expressing hostile or prejudiced views. "

As the College of police are not appealing Harry Miller's win both Miss B and Sarah Phillimore can now proceed.

Sarah Phillimore's gardening is considering whether The police should not secretly record us as 'hateful'

Sounds like a lot of you are -once again- going to be digging in vain

Dont worry sweetheart, I've got plenty of money left for essentials and further gardening.

Do you actually think that laws/guidance can only be challenged if what you fear has come to pass?

Aww, so so appreciate your concern Blue. Don't you worry yourself at all now, we are all big girls here.

So just to make it clear, Miss B has never experienced such an incident, she is challenging this law on the basis that she might hypothetically possibly one day if precisely the right confluence of events should happen to fall together, no matter how unlikely that is.

Very shaky grounds for a challenge. Sounds like a lot of you are -once again- going to be digging in vain.

Spring is coming - it will be nice to get out in the garden again. Thanks for the prompt OP.
