So, Amber Rudd, the Home Secretary, made a speech about controlling immigration. Which... is kinda her job, right?
... the police have logged it as a "hate incident". What. The. Fuck.

Safeguards
An alliance of evangelical groups, atheists and comedians, including Blackadder star Rowan Atkinson, united against the Racial and Religious Hatred Bill.
They claimed it would curb free speech and even outlaw religious jokes.
Jews and Sikhs are already covered under race hate laws because the courts regard them as distinct races. The new offence would protect Muslims, Christians and other groups on the basis of their beliefs.
Ministers proposed a compromise which they said ensured people could debate, ridicule or insult religions as long as they did not intend to stir up hatred, or were "reckless" about stirring up hatred.
But MPs changed the wording of the government plans and backed peers by insisting the reckless behaviour should not be an offence. This bit is quite funny, too.
Liberal Democrat MP Evan Harris said: "The government just failed to understand that they can't take liberties with freedom of expression." Oh but they did, Evan Harris. They really did. And your "liberal" lot helped them.
They claimed, did they? Well, 11 years later just look at what's happened. Free speech completely ruined.
