    But he did not need to hear the speech to be offended by it

    Someone told him about it and he said he was then offended on behalf of someone else

    It was great. AN didn't even have to try, the Professor looked like a total idiot. He hadn't even seen or heard the speech that he complained about.

    We should start a thread that contains all desperate attempts to get on TV. I realise that it would fill very quickly with X-Factor contestants but that's what it's there for right?

    However, it had to be recorded as a "non-crime hate incident" in accordance with police national guidelines.
    These state: "Where any person, including police personnel, reports a hate incident which would not be the primary responsibility of another agency, it must be recorded regardless of whether or not they are the victim, and irrespective of whether there is any evidence to identify the hate element."
    well that's that, but he got on the telly which is what he wanted.

    (Not that she said anything wrong, I just felt like saying it )

    Actually, our Amber is from a very well heeled family, Chalcot House, Dilton Marsh being the erstwhile family seat.

    That explains it. Did you know her personally?

    Police treat home secretary speech as 'hate incident' - BBC News
    West Midlands Police has said the home secretary's speech to last year's Conservative Party conference is being treated as a "hate incident".

    In the speech, Amber Rudd suggested tightening rules that allow UK firms to recruit workers from overseas.

    An Oxford University professor complained to the force claiming Ms Rudd was using "hate speech" to foster support for her political aims.
