Speaking afterwards Mr Wilson said,
“When three police forces are spending a year investigating one tweet, it’s time to stop and reassess priorities.
Non-criminal hate incidents do not meet the threshold of criminality and often involve subjective interpretations of words or actions. Meanwhile, communities across the UK are grappling with rising levels of violent crime, burglary, and drug-related offenses. It is essential that our police prioritise investigating and preventing these serious offenses rather than dedicating valuable time and manpower to incidents that do not constitute a breach of the law.
Rather acting as the thought police, our police forces should serve as protectors of public safety, not arbiters of hurt feelings.”
