What's a hate crime?, Are the police now creating offences rather than the Judiciary? Options

[x2lls]

How do we deal with this?

Are we all guilty now?

Is the Stasi popping back in?


@syptweet (South Yorkshire Police)

Just look at the response to them.

On a similar theme, if on a slight tangent, I put the television on at midday and was confronted by 4 members of the opposite sex, (I believe it is called "Loose Women" but don't quote me on that), who were openly discussing the latest shenanigans of the honourable member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip. One of the contributors openly stated that " what sort of woman would entertain such a blonde headed lump of lard as a lover?" Now imagine the uproar had 4 men passed a similar derogatory comment on a female MP, (or other).
I am all for equality of sex,race,religion etc but it does seem very one sided.

Easy for them to say that as they know he wouldn't look twice at them. Over the hill old hags who are actually quite unpleasant people.

I agree that there are probably better human beings to associate with, but why are they given airtime when television companies are supposedly the bastion of diversity?

Exactly. I'm all for diversity. Take my industry. I reckon its 95% men. Why is that? Do women really have no interest in Systems work? I don't think so. They just need a chance. It's actually still a quite sexist attitude. And thats a sleight on my area of work. As for the "loose women"... Its says it on the tin. No talent.. Give me a young lady data scientist and I'd show her a good time (in work 😇).
