I kølvandet på London Bridge-terroren lørdag den 3. juni, overraskede Metropolitan Police den efterfølgende onsdag med at prale med, at de havde pågrebet 25 mennesker for had-forbrydelser.

The Metropolitan Police have arrested 25 people since Saturday’s terror attacks, using hate crime legislation to crack down on words and actions deemed either offensive, or which target people “because of their race, religion, sexual orientation” or disability.

Meldingen syntes uvirkelig. Har politiet ikke andet at lave end at slå ned på folks udtalelser? Men det varede lidt for det gik op for folk, at politiet mener det er vigtigere at jage hadforbrydelser end at jagte terrorister.

Speaking on Thursday, Chief Superintendent Dave Stringer, the head of “Community Engagement” for the Metropolitan Police, said:

Since Saturday evening’s attacks, we have increased the number of officers on the streets and in communities to reassure local people that they are able to go about their daily lives in peace and without fear of harassment or intimidation. Dedicated ward officers have also made contact with their local places of worship to encourage them to report hate crimes and to reassure those who congregate there that the police will take these crimes seriously. The Metropolitan Police has made 25 arrests for hate crime offences since Saturday.

Muslimers ve og vel er det, der har politiets bevågenhed. Det er et eller andet med perspektivet, der går fuldstændig galt her, når man tænker på, hvad der er sket. Ville politiet bruge lige så mange ressourcer på at beskytte den indfødtre befolkning, hvis der var tale om højreekstrem terror begået mod muslimer?

Piers Morgan har ændret sig på det seneste. Han satte Londons borgermester Sadiq Khan til vægs med spørgsmålet om prioriteringerne. Khan som er blevet rost af medierne for sin håndtering af terroren, havde ikke meget at sige til sit forsvar.

The news comes as London Mayor Sadiq Khan told Piers Morgan in an interview that London’s police did not have enough resources to monitor the jihadists returning to the United Kingdom from Syria and Iraq. He said in an interview Wednesday morning:

I can’t follow 400 people… the Met Police budget, roughly 15-20 per cent comes from me, the Mayor. The rest is funded by central government. If the Met Police budget is being shrunk and reduced, they’ve got to prioritise and use their resources in a sensible, savvy way.

Asked what could be a bigger priority than tracking jihadists in the UK’s capital city, Mr. Khan declined to answer.

Now, however, it seems we are learning of the Met’s priorities. The force boasted on Thursday of the large amount of resources they dedicate to policing hate crime.

Det er her kæden for alvor hopper af. Mens terrortruslen aldrig har været større og mandskabet er presset helt i bund, vælger politikere og politiledelsen at prioritere hadforbrydelser, dvs det nogen måtte finde på at sige eller skrive til eller om muslimer – helst på nettet.

All hate crimes are reviewed by a Detective Inspector and the MPS has also increased specialist investigators within the 32 London borough community safety units by 30 per cent, with more than 900 specialist members of staff dedicated to investigating all hate crime and domestic abuse crimes.

900 specialister som udelukkende arbejder med hadforbrydelser! Det er svært at drage anden konklusion end at storbritannien ikke længere kan finde ud af at forsvare sig. Man jager den forkerte fjende.

With the average salary of a police officer in London standing at around £38,000, this means the force is dedicating around £35m of resources to hate crime policing.

Politiet samarbejder med en gruppe, der kalder sig TELL MAMA, som modtager anmeldelser om hadforbrydelser. Men Telegraph kunne afsløre, at de blæser tallene op, og at halvdelen af anmeldelserne vedrører hatespeech på nettet – noget der er væsensforskelligt fra fysiske angreb.

The Telegraph reported that many of their hate crime claims were exaggerations at best, and that out of the 212 “Islamophobic incidents” reported by Tell MAMA, 57 per cent happened only online, with a further 16 per cent of incidents not being verified. Only eight per cent of incidents involved physical targeting, and no attacks were serious enough to require medical treatment.

The group maintains a blog frequently criticising President Donald Trump, anti-Shariah campaigners such as the Center for Security Policy’s Frank Gaffney, and Breitbart.com.

Vi ser det samme fænomen som med Antifa i Danmark: Man dyrker den (voldelige) aktivisme og mister tilliden hos publikum.

Det er tragisk, når politiet slår ind på samme vej og tror, at det er meninger og forkerte holdninger, som er farligere end jihadisme.

The Met Police statement adds: “We have increased the number of hate crime liaison officers who are a single point of contact for all those who need support after reporting a hate crime and we have introduced an Online Hate Crime Hub to tackle hate crime on social media.”

Med et sådant fokus midt i terrorens tidsalder ser det sort ud for briterne.

Præcis som det gør for svenskerne.
