Episode notes
The Limerick Incident
- Harry Miller, a former police officer, was investigated for retweeting a limerick deemed transphobic.
- This led to a police visit where an officer said they needed to "check Miller's thinking."
Non-Crime Hate Incidents
- The police argued that non-crime hate incidents, though not criminal, could escalate to hate crimes and even genocide.
- The guidance they followed stated no evidence of hate was required, and questioning its reasonableness constituted further hate.
Tweets as Evidence of Hate
- Miller's tweets, including "I was assigned mammal at birth, but I identify as fish," were cited as evidence of hate.
- The police viewed these as "early indicators of genocide" despite their satirical nature.
