Non-crime hate incidents

https://metro.co.uk/2021/07/19/man-w...cord-14950372/

A former police officer from pressure group Fair Cop, said: ‘The police have completely lost the plot.

‘How the hell can whistling Bob The Builder at someone land you with a criminal record?’

Re: Non-crime hate incidents

To help someone without a clue, could you please explain what is offensive about Bob the Builder?

Of course, I realise that the professionally offended can find (or make up) any number of things with which to use in making their accusations, but I'm totally lost on this one.

Yes, but only via Postman Pat.

Re: Non-crime hate incidents

I wonder --- in my warped mind I just wonder if the neighbour was a feminist/lesbian of a group who had pressured the BBC CBeebies to cancel Bob the Builder and Postman Pat for not being "inclusive". (Actually that HAS happened)

All it would take is a bit of sharp conversation and the accused to wind his neighbour up with that tune. Knowing fine well what bitches the comfortable shoes lot can be ---

Prolly just my wicked mind but possible?.

Next time I see the yobs kicking the fence down, down by the river, I'll ask them to whistle 'Bob the Builder', that way I can ring the police knowing they will attend.
