Minitrue Alert!
George Orwell's body reaches 3600 RPM as the BBC reports that Hate crime police raid 150 homes:
Police investigating allegations of racism, homophobia and domestic violence have raided about 150 addresses across London.

At least 83 people have been arrested after officers from the Metropolitan Police's community safety unit took part in the dawn raids on Wednesday.
...
The raids signal the start of a day of police action against "hate crime" - offences against people on the grounds of their race, faith, religion, disability, or sexuality.
...
Commander Cressida Dick, director of the Diversity Directorate, denied the operation was simply a publicity stunt.
"Hate crimes" are another worthless innovation by the PC crowd. Any "hate crime" that was not already illegal under the ordinary criminal code is more than likely merely free speech. But this is the UK we're talking about. My thanks to the USA's Founding Fathers for the 1st Amendment. And the 2nd.

And it's nice to know that a Dick is running the Diversity Directorate.
