This is what happens as islamization transforms free, Western societies – sharia police.
As crime skyrockets.
“How much investigative effort should our overstretched police forces be expected to invest in dealing with minor verbal or written abuse that someone perceives to be a hate crime?”

It’s criminal that the Met Police is giving up on burglars – but has 900 ‘anti-hate experts’, writes former Scotland Yard chief PHILIP FLOWER
- Ex-police chief has backed a refocus of core policing policy across the force
- He says it’s about time a police chief talked ‘some common sense’
- Philip Flower said where hate is an aggravating factor in a crime it should be taken into account
Genuine hate crimes are abhorrent and have no place in a civilised society.
But are hate crimes generally worse than burglary, arson, assault and rape?
Are the psychological injuries suffered by the victims of hate crime worse than the psychological and sometimes physical scars carried by those who have been physically or sexually assaulted, or had their homes ransacked and precious belongings stolen?
Certainly, where hate is an aggravating factor in serious crime it must be taken into account.
But how much investigative effort should our overstretched police forces be expected to invest in dealing with minor verbal or written abuse that someone perceives to be a hate crime?
Abuse
It is a debate that must be had, which is why I welcome the intervention by Sara Thornton, head of the National Police Chiefs’ Council.
As the Mail reports today, Ms Thornton is calling for a ‘refocus on core policing’, for officers to be allowed to prioritise ‘today’s crime’ such as burglary and violence rather than hate crimes such as ‘misogyny’, and historical sex abuse.
It’s about time we heard a police chief speaking common sense because it has been a sorry few weeks for the reputation of the Thin Blue Line.
First, an influential committee of MPs warned that the failure of many forces to cope with everyday offences and to curb violent crime means that policing is at risk of becoming ‘irrelevant’ to many people.
If that wasn’t damning enough, a frontline officer then claimed victims of theft could soon be asked to carry out their own investigations.
At the same time forces are reported to be ‘ignoring’ crimes such as cannabis possession and fuel theft, while the number of targeted ‘stop and searches’ in London — where knife crime is soaring and there have been more than 100 murders this year — has fallen.
Philip Flower has welcomed the interventions of Sara Thornton (pictured) who is the chairman of the National Police Chief’s Council
This national crisis in policing seems to have passed ministers by. How else can one explain the launch yesterday of a £1.5 million publicity campaign focusing on hate crime to ‘reassure those vulnerable’ to it that it is taken seriously?
Meanwhile, my old force, the Met, loudly boasts that it has ‘over 900 specialist hate crime investigators working across London’s dedicated hate crime Community Safety Units’. How much safer that community would be if those 900 officers were returned to the beat.
I’ll say it again. Genuine racial and religious abuse must be clamped down on; likewise abuse on account of someone’s sexuality or gender identity.
But the police are now having to contend with the ludicrous situation by which large numbers of individuals who’ve experienced what can only be classed as perceived slights —wolf whistles, rude jokes, swearing — report their grievances to the police and, because it is policy, officers are compelled to follow them up.
In contrast, when it comes to burglary and assault, police can ‘screen out’ incidences where the chances of identifying the perpetrator or securing a conviction are slim.

Police logged a record 94,098 hate crime offences in 2017, up 17 per cent in a year. At the same time, the Office of National Statistics last month reported overall violence rose by 19 per cent in the year to June 2018, while the murder rate increased by 14 per cent and robberies by 22 per cent.
Surely, it is the restoration of law and order to counteract these truly depressing figures for violence, murder and robbery that must be the Government’s top priority.
Ultimately, this means more resources for the police. Cuts imposed on forces since 2010 have undermined the state’s capacity to tackle criminality, with a 20,000 fall in the number of officers.
According to the independent watchdog the National Audit Office, police funding fell in real terms by 19 per cent over the past eight years, compared with a 31 per cent increase between 2001 and 2010.
No wonder so many forces are struggling to cope with even the basics of crime fighting as Simon Kempton, a National Police Federation representative and a Sergeant in the Dorset constabulary, outlined so vividly this week.
At a conference in London, Sergeant Kempton suggested that instead of calling the police, victims of theft should scour websites such as eBay and Gumtree to try to find their belongings, because local police have neither the staff nor the technology to do detective work.

As a police officer who served for 32 years, latterly as a Chief Superintendent with the Met, this makes me deeply uncomfortable. Urging the public to take the law into their own hands weakens the very foundation of policing. It encourages vigilantism and contempt for authority.
But I do understand Sergeant Kempton’s despair. It illustrates the desperate position the police find themselves in, caused not only by underfunding but also by the ever-growing burden of red tape imposed on them, the posturing of politicians and police chiefs, lenient sentences and soft prison regimes.
Burden
Real improvements in police performance could be achieved without additional cash, if there was the will to deal with the destructive influences of intrusive officialdom, wasteful mismanagement and warped political correctness.

+5Philip Flower said when he was a young constable e would arrest and process a prisoner for theft in about an hour
Take excessive paperwork. When I was a young constable I could arrest and process a prisoner for theft in about an hour. Today the same case would take at least a day-and-a-half, so we have the ridiculous situation in which most police officers now spend more time doing paperwork than patrolling the streets.
In the same vein, computer databases, which should be a vital police tool, have been turned into yet another administrative burden.
When the Met introduced the Crime Report Information System in 1992 to store crime reports, I predicted it meant an effective loss of 1,000 officers a year in London alone because so much time would be lost inputting data.
Equally damaging to current policing is the fashionable approach to recruitment, with its emphasis on academic qualifications.
I am disturbed to see long-serving sergeants and constables replaced by fast-tracked, jargon-spouting inspectors and superintendents with neither experience of policing nor an appreciation of the true nature of the job.
Crimes
We are told this will enhance management skills at senior levels, but that is a deceit. While vital streetwise wisdom has declined, the increase in managerial effectiveness has been negligible.
Just as depressing is the growing politicisation of the police, where the focus has shifted from the protecting the public to propagating a politically correct agenda — such as the new campaign to publicise loosely defined hate crimes.
It is typical of the distorted priorities of our Government and the authorities with their desperate ‘virtue signalling’.
And in the rare cases where criminals are locked up, the state is reluctant to treat them accordingly.
This week we learned that Feltham Young Offenders Institution in West London is spending £36,000 on ‘therapy igloos’, where inmates will have a ‘quiet space’ for ‘sensitive conversations’.
Proof if any more were needed that British law enforcement is in the grip of cowardice where the demands of criminals come before the needs of the law-abiding public.
We need real change. More Government funding would be a start, but to fix our broken policing system we need to facilitate our police officers to concentrate on what they’re best at — policing.

The Brits have given there country up to Muslims. It is sad to see them let these Muslims invade their country and take over. What ever happened to the Brit spirit of never surrender, never give up, fight on, all for England that they had against Hitler and the Nazis? Muslim are like cock-roaches, they are everywhere and breed faster than you can count. Once you let the nose of the camel into the tent, the rest is certain to follow. In 20 years or sooner there will no longer be an English controlled England. Really sad.
The U.S. is teetering too…. When you look at the utter corruption and infiltration of Muslims in our society such as CAIR, the Muslim Brotherhood, the ACLU etc., we aren’t faring so well either. We have useless Jeff Sessions and Rosenstein paralyzing any investigations into those organizations and losing valuable time in exterminating our country of his filth. Our K-12 and higher education is brain washing students to think Islam is wonderful.
I can only imagine what kind of islamic “history” is taught across US public schools and institutions of “higher learning”.
Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance.
No lie!
Friend from Afghanistan, entertaining chap, made lying a proud profession all of the time, endlessly said those words while telling the strangest tales ever imagined… “No Lie”… repeated often… and loudly, was somehow the elixir of truth… NOT.
They didn’t really respond seriously to the Nazis until they got bombed and had no choice. Essentially the channel saved them as it has historically. This time it can’t.
It could if that damn chunnel was blown sky high!
No, WE the PEOPLE have not given up our country. Our government and other officials have.
Too bad you Brits aren’t armed.
The government won’t let us have arms, because they know they’d be the first ones taken out.
Once again, it is the victims who suffer from this law enforcement and injustice of PM May’s anti-Democratic, pro-Islam/Jihad mandate. Muslims, after all, are peaceful, law-abiding, it is the non-Muslims who are the base criminal element and threat to the nation’s sovereignty. Jews, needless to say, are vilified within civil and government context. Anti-Semitism is rampant but is not classified as hate-crime; Christianity fairs not well, too. If one dares to vilify, disparage Islam, the threat of persecution, prosecution and jail is the hardcore reality.
Nine-hundred hate-speech enforcers to eradicate the non-Muslims citizenry’s right to their Democratic Rights while other crimes are ignored. The entitled, May and company, who empower others to eradicate these rights are the true criminals and despotic. I suspect the number nine-hundred is low-balling the actual number of hare-speech sniffers.
Anything to appease worthless savages that will only hate you and destroy what has made the west superior to them. Muslims will take the west back to the dark ages. The elites have collectively lost their minds.
Exactly, Felix, a return to the dark ages has neared completion throughout the EU and Britain. America is not insusceptible to the same fate. The elites when listening to their rhetorical gibberish betray their lack of intelligence and cognizance of the truth, facts about the Cult feigning religion. Methinks there is more to it; a designed alliance of the Democrats and Islam. They are one of the same presently but the Democrats are in for a rude awakening when they finally awaken from this self-created nightmare, to find it is reality.
Running about like headless chickens looking for their decapitated heads.
I absolutely agree that there is an alliance with Islam with the DEMS and many globalist RINOs. Rubio immediately comes to mind. During the primary, he would make comments about Islam. After he was back in position, he was very protective of Islam.
This passed under Obama – 2016!
Muslims have SPECIAL rights! No other religion was included in this bill.
Only ISLAM! Rubio praised it! It is a set up to ban being critical of Islam. It’s very open to interpretation on what constitutes a “crime” against Islam. It’s subjective.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-resolution/569/text
H.Res.569 – Condemning violence, bigotry, and hateful rhetoric towards
(ONLY) Muslims in the United States.
114th Congress (2015-2016)
That the House of Representatives—
(1) expresses its condolences for the victims of anti-Muslim hate crimes;
(2) steadfastly confirms its dedication to the rights and dignity of all its citizens of all faiths, beliefs, and cultures;
(3) denounces in the strongest terms the increase of hate speech, intimidation, violence, vandalism, arson, and other hate crimes targeted against mosques, Muslims, or those perceived to be Muslim;
(4) recognizes that the United States Muslim community has made countless positive contributions to United States society;
(5) declares that the civil rights and civil liberties of all United States citizens, including Muslims in the United States, should be protected and preserved;
(6) urges local and Federal law enforcement authorities to work to prevent hate crimes; and to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law those perpetrators of hate crimes; and
(7) reaffirms the inalienable right of every citizen to live without fear and intimidation, and to practice their freedom of faith.
Darkly amusing that he had to make his statement so cautiously, without pointing fingers, continuously reiterating that hate crime is unacceptable or perhaps himself be charged with a ‘hate’ crime.
You must accept muslim demmands or face the consequences. all islamophobic comments must be prosecuted. Your islamophobic comments, IP’s can be traced, you could be visited by the police then you could be visited by muslims..
I’m not very fond of being visited by the COWARDLY cops. However, bring on the moslems … Castle Doctrine State. They can even be in my front yard.
We know what that means ????
I’m sure we’re all terribly concerned…
It’s all reversed.
Most “Gentlemen” in Britain are rather Effeminate – Not the “Soccer Hooligans” & other Real men who stand with Tommy Robinson but with so many Useless vaginas on their “Police Farce” is it any wonder that they should not be renamed the Faggotry Patrol? Careful not to Upset Muslims or Women or Transgenders – Because That Would Be BAD! Muslim Grooming Gangs, Rape ,Murder & other Daily Violence are just “Cultural Differences”. OK then let’s Start helping their Culture by using their Rules by Beheading Muslims & help as many of them as possible get to Allah – The Satanic God of The Pedophile Prophet. English people Rise Up like when we Kicked Your Asses Out of America!
Oh, I don’t know. I think political correctness is keeping them down.
Idiot.
Yes, and with a fresh stabbing incident just this today at Sony, all can rest assured knowing their protectors are keeping muslims safe from being offended.
I’m sure that brings comfort to all.
Revisit Winston Churchill !!!!

If only he was still with us! Britain really needs him back.
I went to the UK in the 80’s before they lost their minds, never again. The Food sucks anyhow.
I think if Europe as a whole isn’t on the verge of civil war against their leadership, they soon should be.
I wouldn’t mind seeing Schmerkel hooked up to back of a 2-ton dualie and taken for a drag down one of the famous German autobahns.
How many billions of euros do you think a pay-per-view of that would generate?
Depends on what you charge for the pay-per-view.
Given that it would probably get viewers from around the globe, cheering, drinking beer, eating popcorn and letting off party streamers, I’d have to say a couple of hundred billion.
Pubs and bars would probably televise it too.
But we want our money’s worth!
Drag her ALL the way from one end to the other of germany’s longest autobahn.
And we want close view cameras too. Don’t want to miss a second of that glorious road rash!
She oughta be dragged all of the way to England, WITHOUT using the chunnel. How long do you think angela can hold her breath.
I’d love to find out! Not long enough, I hope!
Here’s another thought. What about a shortish drag, just enough to remove a fair amount of skin, and THEN a plunge into all that lovely salt water? Straight across the channel. Does that sound good or what?
I like the way that you think, lady …. Wouldn’t that be the perfect ending of the perfect pay-per-view? A Happy Ending.
But not for her. The happiest ending of all, lol.
And thankyou for the compliment. It nice to be appreciated. Some say I’m too extremist and vicious…never understood it myself.
You? Vicious? Extremist? Heaven forbid.
LOL.
I’d be proud to serve next to you 🙂
And I you 🙂

The problem with “hate crimes” is who determines what constitutes hate? And why SHOULDN’T I hate f’ing muslums? It’s not my fault their religion is a damned, dumb, Jew hating, fascist, totalitarian death cult responsible for the slaughter of millions of kuffar in the 20th century and tens of thousands of kuffar in the 21st.
It’s all SUBJECTIVE and as you can see on a daily basis – ONE SIDED. Only Islam is protected.
The idea of “hat crimes” is ridiculous. Since when is there a “love crime?”
All crimes are “hate” driven. A jealous spouse that kills isn’t doing it for LOVE. It is anger and HATE.
to answer your question it is the ELITES that get to decide and they are pushing a LIBERAL agenda.
Muslims can do no wrong or commit, “hate crimes.”
This is what happens when Muslims are given positions of power. They abuse their authority in order to defend Islam and persecute the non-Muslims. If the non-Muslims don’t take their power back and set things in order it will definitely lead to civil war.
None of this would be happening if the media/elites/politicians and Leftists opposed Islam rather than help it to grow bigger, stronger and more powerful.
They are going after the good guy and ignoring the bad guys. The entire Continent of Europe has become one huge cesspool.
I’m with the Police Chiefs’ council on this. Parliament has to put “hate” on back burner. Of course there’s hate,Duh. Put actual crimes in priority. On lighter note, I’d like to have some council with Chief Sarah Thornton.
Maybe they should acknowledge that ALL crime is “hate” instead of being selective and arbitrary.
The Grand Mufti Khan allocated the 700 officers in Londonistan.
“If that wasn’t damning enough, a frontline officer then claimed victims of theft could soon be asked to carry out their own investigations.” Gee, carry out their own investigations, eh? Well, I guess that means the average Joe can then bill the government at a reasonable rate of $100/hr for doing the “investigation.”
Philip Flower ex Met Police Chief Superintendent please explain what you did to improve the relations between the police and the native Brits. Now you are retired you can point out all the failures committed by the Met police. Why did you not insist on changing things for the better while you were in charge? You are no different to the cowardly politicians who pander to the ethnic minorities. You say genuine hate crimes are abhorrent, really when the majority of the genuine hate speech and hate crimes are not committed by the indigenous population but by this evil cult that has been allowed to run rampant over the laws of the country. How many Muslims in Britain are in jail because they insulted a non Muslim or threatened to kill Jewish people? Virtually none and Anjem Choudray is now free after radicalizing many followers that have joined ISIS and murdered innocent people, including a British soldier in broad daylight and he now has police protection. The only people that I see jailed are Patriots who stand up for their country and are not guilty of hate speech, but daring to express themselves by telling the truth about what is happening to this once Great Britain. It is quite clear that the British Police are nothing more than ethnic minders, who in most cases turn a blind eye to the crimes that they commit, but do everything in their power to censor any negative speech.
They are collaborators. Vichy Cops.
“Hate speech’ is unacceptable, but in Britain, any anti-moslem comment is seen as such. Truth has NOTHING to do with it – take the unfair and dastardly treatment being experienced by Paul Goulding and Jayda Fransen of the ‘Britain First’ organisation, the last bastions of British tradition and ‘non-appeasers’ to the bowing-down to islam, even by top politicians (on both sides).
This is what happens when you have 900 stupid policemen. Surely, they would object that this has nothing to do with being a policeman but a policyman.
It is mainly Muslims who are ‘offended’ and they are the front runners in personal indignation. Nobody must offend Muslims or Islam. The more this is pandered to, the more they will complain and even make up ‘offences’. I am willing to bet that the number of offences reported by Jews is far less than that by the suffering Muslims but the Jews are persecuted far more, and more seriously mainly by Muslims. The number of offences reported by non Muslim is most likely Zero but of course the main offence to non Muslims occurs within the Mosques, where they are cursed, reviled and threatened in every prayer meeting.
It is utterly ridiculous that police have to deal with this nonsense when they should be concentrating on more serious crime. Most ‘offences’ if in fact real would be forgotten in a couple of weeks.
Not goin to hold my breath but hope the good people of Britian kick all the Muslims out before it is to late. May the LORD protect England
Thank you Buck.
I wonder if more “hate crimes” against muslums have been prosecuted in Englandistan than muslum rapists?
Without a doubt. After all, the victims of rape jihad were/are just white, working class girls. And who gives a f**k about them?
I believe both Ms. Geller and Robert Spencer believe that the United Kaliphate is finished. Robert Spencer opined that massive violence and bloodshed is the only possible answer to the islamisation of the United Kaliphate.
And I agree with him. This country has been overrun with moslems, and our ‘leader’s’ and ‘authorities’ are protecting and defending their savage, barbaric atrocities, and removing our rights to defend ourselves against those who want to destroy us.
In the end, I believe the government will take that one step too far, and a massive civil war will take place. It will be ugly, and bloody, and inhumane, and many of us will die, but at least we’ll die on our feet and not on our knees.
And hopefully, we’ll take all the traitors that put us in this position with us.
The libs obviously don’t. Especially if they are discovered to be conservatives.
UK needs to wake up or it will smell of death

My freind Amy is currently awaiting trial for a heinous hate crim.
After a few words over a parking space in a supermarket car park she bode the fellow to “have a gay day” and for those Four simple words she now finds herself on hate crime charges. Her case has had Three adjournments already’ costing god knows how much to the state and is due for trial in January. Have a gay day. FFS!
There are muzrat rapist running around the streets and rather than protect our children the state chooses to waste time and resources on this nonsense.
It’s time for a change of government in Great Britain.
VOTE UKIP!
Sounds like UK has sold out to the Muslim Terrorists,not so safe any more.Cops to busy making sure you don’t speak badly about Muhammed.You can kill,rape and curse out any Christian or Jew.Welcome to the new satellite of Saudi Arabia.Don’t forget you Hijab girls
Muslims suck camel cocks just like Muhammad did.
the Police in the UK only care and protect the Muslims. I would not trust the UK Police.
Most of us don’t. The really sensible ones among us never have.
You don’t get justice from the police or judiciary in this country. Unless you can afford to buy it, that is.
Another reason why the world questions the sensibility of the British. They have let the Muslims take over their morals and their brains. Vote them out of your government you idiot limees!
I’m sure the mayor will…errr…never mind…
