'They're causing misery!': Braverman slams 'militant eco-zealots' for 'selfish' protests as she urges police to step in
Asked by Nick if she was concerned that increasing the use of controversial stop and search powers would alienate some communities, she said she was pleased that more people from ethnic minorities had joined police forces. "That's one reason why I've introduced new guidance on non-crime hate incidents, so that we ensure that freedom of expression is protected and that the police are not overly policing lawful" incidents.Asked by Nick about the recent incident with police removing golly dolls from a pub in Essex, the Home Secretary declined to comment on an ongoing investigation.
She added: "In the vast majority of lawful debate, lawful exchange of views, even where people may be offended, that really shouldn't be terrain for... the police".It comes as the Prime Minister said on Tuesday night that he believed the Government was "on the cusp" of having recruited 20,000 new officers for England and Wales - a key pledge dating back to Boris Johnson's election win in 2019.
