To think that the UK police have no right to "check our thinking"?

Yes, its a DM link; however, the Guardian and BBC don't seem to be covering this story yet...

From the article...

A Twitter user is planning to complain to the Home Secretary after police investigated him for retweeting a poem which suggested transgender women are still men.

Harry Miller is furious at his ‘Orwellian’ treatment by an officer who rang to check his ‘thinking’ after he had ‘liked’ a limerick

In better news, I'm planning on moving to Humberside. Clearly, there must be no actual crime there!

'Social services looked into four separate complaints he had sex with underage girls - one was just 13 - and an allegation of indecent assault on a 10-year-old.

The police were involved in all but one of these cases and also investigated three separate claims by women who said Huntley had raped them.'

I couldnt give a fig about Huntley. Thats up to her

Are you seriously calling Ian Huntley 'her'?

Maybe this story is too close to home for 100 of mumsnetters

The sexual abuse of women and children? Yes, that is very close to home for far too many mumsnetters. A majority of women will experience sexual harassment or violence at some point in our lives.

Or did you mean transgenderism? Not an issue that concerned me at all. Until I noticed women's protections being eroded when men can self identify as women.

Was your wife the civilian who put pertinent information through the shredder instead of passing it on, because of Huntley’s ‘rights’ under data protection?

I really think at this stage you should take your own advice about what you post online.

@2BoysandaCairn

You have provided far too much personal information about your wife and her job. You should probably ask for your posts to be deleted as I think some of what you are said may be confidential? If your wife is who you say she is, then she could be in serious trouble for disclosing some of that info.

On the basis of the OP, I think it’s very strange and entirely possible that this is an edited version of events. Hate crime vs the recording of hate incidents are two different things.

If someone had tweeted 30 or so things on a topic then they may overall be a course of conduct, it may also be that whoever reported them to the Police felt they were directed at them as an individual or felt they collectively demonstrated hate towards a group. The might be recorded as an incident, it might cause someone to pose the question as to what they were thinking to identify if they were directed towards an individual. It’s a one sided account. Hard to know the truth behind it.

Lol.

Weirdly women DO give a fig about paedophile rapists and murderers...
