Of course they are not. Since when have the Met ever used an Independent thought without Tory intervention in the past decade?!
That would imply some sort of proficiency with critical thinking that would.
Why is LSD illegal then?
Every time I’ve dealt with the police it has been a ticky-boxy filling out forms exercise, I seriously doubt they do anything proactively
I don’t get this article
They’re not thought police *yet*.
They’d like to be
You got a loicence for that tweet m8
Sounds all well and good, until they’re policing anything anti-police. Still haven’t forgotten their behaviour at the Sarah Everard vigil.
Ridiculous that it needs to be said.
But I’ll believe it when they stop arresting people for saying something offensive to 0.000000001% of a the population of London on Twitter and start actually going to homes that have been burgled instead of just giving them a crime number.
Yet ISP’s still keep all your online activity stored for a year and the police (plus all sorts of other government agencies including bizarre stuff like the Food Standards Agency) can access it if needed.
Now I’m not *entirely* against this idea – nothing to hide nothing to fear, etc, it can help stop terrorists and pedos, so all good. But the potential for what it *could* be used for is why people should already be worried.
They shouldn’t be but…
Maybe someone should have told Patel that before she drew up the Censorship and Surveillance , sorry I mean the Online harms bill.
They’d have to think first.
Then stop arresting people for what they say online?
Unless it’s a direct threat.
Cognitive dissonance.
Thot Police 🚓 🚨
Brilliant, Cressida is still holding the door open for him and he’s already blowing his “anti woke” dog whistle
Unless the government tells them to be, at which point all bets are off.
They should not be the thought police, however when the government expects them to deal with those hurling abuse online, they will inevitably have to be to show they are dealing with the issue.
UK Police kidnap women off the streets, rape them, and burry their bodies in woods.
