UK: Sadiq Khan’s $2,000,000 Thought Police has resulted in only six prosecutions for Thoughtcrime

Oct 9, 2019 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Where the money went is a legitimate question, but it is abominable that the Daily Mail, the worst paper in the Western world, wants more Thoughtcrime prosecutions.

“This is money that could have been used to invest in additional police officers and protect Londoners from a whole host of crimes.”

Indeed. Even real ones.

“Sadiq Khan’s £1.7million Twitter ‘Hate Crime Hub’ has prosecuted just six trolls in two years,” by Martin Beckford, Mail on Sunday, October 5, 2019 (thanks to Henry):

Just six internet trolls have been brought to justice by a £1.7million ‘Twitter squad’ set up by London’s Labour mayor Sadiq Khan.

He promised a zero-tolerance stance towards abuse on social media when the police unit was launched more than two years ago.

But the Online Hate Crime Hub – staffed by five Scotland Yard officers including a senior detective – led to just a handful of successful prosecutions, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

Not one of the trolls was jailed.

Last night London Police and Crime Committee member Susan Hall called it an ‘exercise in spin over substance’.

She added: ‘This is money that could have been used to invest in additional police officers and protect Londoners from a whole host of crimes.’…

A spokesman for Mr Khan said the hub helped ‘support victims’, adding: ‘The Met has made huge progress in tackling all forms of hate crime but it’s clear more needs to be done.’

    I, for one, would like to know more of the specifics – what are the profiles of the average “victim” and “troll”?…

      Speaking out about JIHADIC TERRORISM is not ‘hate’, but POLITICAL SCIENCE.

      “What is wrong with inciting intense dislike of a religion if the activities or teachings of that

      religion are so outrageous, irrational or abusive of human rights that it deserves to be intensely

      disliked?”

      – Rowan Atkinson before House of Lords

          GI, comedy is a profoundly serious matter, that’s why we laugh. Atkinson is a rather smart individual with an MSc in Electrical Engineering. He started working on a PhD but switched to acting fulltime. He’s deeply concerned about the loss of the freedom of expression.

          In June 2005, Atkinson led a coalition of the United Kingdom’s most prominent actors and writers, including Nicholas Hytner, Stephen Fry, and Ian McEwan, to the British Parliament in an attempt to force a review of the controversial Racial and Religious Hatred Bill, which they felt would give overwhelming power to religious groups to impose censorship on the arts.

          He has a pilot’s license, a top truck drivers license and he races cars. He’s worth about $130 US. He’s nothing like the goofy character he played. That’s good acting. And brilliant comedy.

          I know this, Mortimer–thank you. The above was my own perhaps-not-very-successful attempt at a joke.

          I have a great deal of respect fro Rowan Atkinson–it would be easy for him not to put his neck and his career on the line, but he bravely has.

    London Mayor Khan is a traitor and should never be trusted!! How did he ever get elected??
    London will never be the same under his Muslim influence! England and its tax paying citizens are losing their sovereignty and identity a little each day!! Pm Churchill is not resting easy today!
    Who will save England now?? God save the queen!

    Probably 99% of the trolls they came across were Muslims being Muslim or faking it and pretending to be Hitler to justify their whining. And what an impossible task those poor 6 men have, with the highest paid among them just watching the others watch the internet.
    I wonder if anyone is feeling disappointment that this haram bomb didn’t “virtually” execute more right wing right white males.

    Sadiq Khan’s $2,000,000 Thought Police has resulted in only six prosecutions for Thoughtcrime

    What a farce, what a stupendous example of ineptitude and incompetence, sadiq should be thrown out of office and town. I’m not kidding here, a thousand adjectives could not describe my contempt over this abuse of public funds for reasons that are obviously designed to serve islam at the expense of free speech. This attempt at sharia enforcement is a perfect example of what’s to come regarding islam. We know this is what they want, they feel no need to hide their self-serving, anti-freedom agenda. The guy is a traitor in my mind, a dirty low-down huckster who’s perfectly willing to feed the islamophobia myth to help islam. Puke, gag, throw up all over the place!

    Listen, you wanna know how this is going to go with muslims? Just multiply sadiq by a million and feel the pain. It’s only going to get worse, much much worse, unless we stop this charade for islam now, and I mean right f*cking now.

    • Jayell says

      Oct 9, 2019 at 5:39 pm

      Basically, this extravagant ego-trip of Khan’s (just one of many, including his arrogant posturing on the world stage against your President) was just a self-promotion ruse to destroy all criticism of himself and his fellow-muslims through a Stasi-like misappropriation the facilities of the Metropolitan Police. If he really wanted to tackle hate-speech in the capital, all he had to do was monitor the goings-on in the (far-too-many) mosques in London – but that would obviously run counter to his very obvious un-British agenda.

    Sadiiq Khan instead of engaging in prosecutions of politically incorrect thought crimes which his folly and a waste time and effort. He should do his job a have prosecutions of real crimes a rapes, vandalism street hooligan violence and Muslim violence.

    Moreover concerning Islamic terrorism that Muslim mayor of London said “Those terrorist attacks on London were performed by men [the terrorists] who were trying to justly their action by the religion I belong to …their ideology is a perversion [ of Islam ] and has no place in Islam” The Muslin mayor, Sadiq Khan, of the capital city of England further said that he is “Outraged at those who try to hide their evil with Islam.” He could be in a genuine mental state of denial about the violent and deadly of many of the parts of Islam or by contrast he might know and is attempting to cover up the truth about the violent essence of Islam.

      He should do his job a have prosecutions of real crimes a rapes, vandalism street hooligan violence and Muslim violence.

      That makes too much sense, Walter. We’re not dealing with someone who really cares about the health of his town and nation, he’s far more concerned about us “islamophobes” and the dirty truths we tell about islam. His islamic bias and incompetence is no doubt going to allow for more crime and even death in his domain. What a disgrace, what an outrage. When are the patriots going to stand up against these bold attacks against their freedoms and security? Tommy Robinson and Anne Waters can’t do it all on their own. There needs to be more in that nation who care about raped kids and crime and their nation’s future. Good lord! these are the same folks that beat the Nazis? Hard to believe.

    UK: Sadiq Khan’s $2,000,000 Thought Police has resulted in only six prosecutions for Thoughtcrime
    …………….

    Um…yay? It would be worse if there were large numbers of these Thoughtcrime prosecutions, of course–although I’m sure just the existence of these being considered a crime are considerably dampening free speech.

    More:

    A spokesman for Mr Khan said the hub helped ‘support victims’, adding: ‘The Met has made huge progress in tackling all forms of hate crime but it’s clear more needs to be done.’
    …………….

    So this has mostly involved telling Muslims that no criticism of Islam will be allowed? Oh joy…

    More:

    Last night London Police and Crime Committee member Susan Hall called it an ‘exercise in spin over substance’.

    She added: ‘This is money that could have been used to invest in additional police officers and protect Londoners from a whole host of crimes.’…
    …………….

    Yeah–like maybe preventing Jihad terror? Or is that too much to ask?

    The idea that Germans have intentionally imported Muslims to kill Jews makes no sense–as antisemitic as they are, most of the victims have been German Gentiles.

    And how does this conspiracy theory explain the Britons and others? Why are they importing Muslims? Or the French, Swedes, Dutch, etc etc?

        If one an read then one can see the outcome of Muslim migration…it’s all part of the overall plan…How many real worshiping Muslims hold elected and appointing positioning in the U.S. and European governments not to mention how many rework in sensitive positions.
        Just because a muslim has gained citizenship or born into citizenship does not mean that individuals is a loyal citizen…..
        As I have said so many times before: There are no aircraft overhead dropping bombs on our cities. No storytellers marching in our streets, Citizens homes are not being invaded with its occupants being dragged from their homes and shot or enslaved it worse tortured to death……yet we are st war …but…the war us one sided and the worst thing if all….Our so called leaders do nothing to stop this creeping invasion…..WHY one says?
        Simple answer…Islam is classified as a RELIGION but what other RELIGION embraces such ATROCIOUS acts as does Islam.
        RELIGION needs to be defined by law and I’m sure mURDER would not be a part of a religion
        and no lawmaker will touch this. .

      Well, according to the governments of those nations, they need the immigrants because the natives aren’t having babies. The natives aren’t having babies because they have been indoctrinated since kindergarten to believe in over population and eventual starvation caused by global warming so many are childless while the third world immigrants breed like rats. Between massive immigration and profligate immigrant breeding, the natives will be replaced by muslims, a dismal prospect but inevitable if something isn’t done soon. In some European nations they are already over ten percent of the population, which doesn’t bode well for the peace and security of those countries. The natives are ageing, new labor is needed, taxes are needed to sustain the infrasctructure and healthcare systems but the immigrants aren’t there to improve their adopted homes. They are there to exploit them, to collect welfare benefits, to bleed them dry.
      I will never understand why Merkel has allowed millions of muslims to flood into Germany and terrorize the German people. Nor will I ever comprehend the denial of the German government that these ‘refugees’ are parasites, thugs, terrorists, and the scum of the earth. Does Merkel believe she will be lionized as a savior in the history books when she is really a treacherous traitor to her own people? How about the several Prime Ministers of Great Britian who have done the same thing on a smaller scale?
      Yet I have to remind myself that the people elected these ‘leaders’ just as we elect ours to betray us and do exactly what they want to do regardless of our objections, regardless of their false promises. Elections seem to make little difference, we go through the motions but the outcome is always the same. I believe Trump has really tried to fulfill his promises and look where it has gotten him, where it has gotten the people who voted for him. Our election of the President is irrelevant to the evil democrats. They want to impeach him over a phone call and nullify his election. If they succeed, there will be a civil war and this country will be forever tainted by the radical, brazen, lying hypocrites who invented political corruption. I hope they are prepared for what their actions will cause. That despicable hag Hillary Clinton is talking about running again so she can beat him this time and said Trump is an ‘illegitimate’ president. Oh how I loathe that communist witch.
      This could be internet BS, misinformation, or a twisted scare tactic but I read last night that every branch of the U.S. military has been alerted to prepare to enforce Marshal Law on very short notice to preserve human life and property in the event of a national disaster. That means armed soldiers enforcing curfews on American soil with the authority to shoot American citizens. What could they possibly know that they aren’t telling us, assuming this is true? The impeachment debacle will be protracted to impose maximum damage. They need time to pontificate and express their self-righteous indignation at Trump’s disregard for the Constitution, as if their socialist policies and ideals conform to it. They will need months to disseminate more outrageous lies for their cohorts in the media to repeat endlessly until they are etched in the minds of every fool who listens to their blather. So it seems unlikely that the predicted ‘civil war’ is the impetus for this alleged military alert unless they are preparing well in advance.

    That just means that he will declare more things to be hate speech. That will result in more prosecutions, allowing him to justify the Islamic Thought Police.
