Common sense dictates that everything a police officer does should be in service to that. That will of course include work other than arresting criminals, such as intelligence-gathering and getting to know local communities. But it must never include politically correct distractions. When I became home secretary, I indicated that I was concerned about the use of non-crime hate incidents. To my mind the concept is largely Orwellian and wrongheaded.
