The U.K. walks back enforcement of non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs), better understood as thought crimes.
With recorded crime across England and Wales at a 20-year high, signs are emerging that the U.K. government might be coming to its senses.
Under new plans announced by Home Secretary Suella Braverman, the police will be instructed to record non-crime hate incidents (NCHI) only when necessary, not simply when someone feels offended, and officers reporting them will have to give precedence to freedom of speech and expression over restrictions on offensive or insulting language.
