LEFTIE officials who drew up controversial proposals on widening the definition of extremism must be sacked, a senior Tory says.
Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick said those behind the “incorrect garbage are unfit to serve the public”.
He expressed his frustration in response to the leaked Home Office report on the riots from last summer, which suggested that having an interest in “gore” or conspiracy theories could be seen as extreme.
The report further mentioned that allegations of “two-tier” policing reflected a “right-wing extremist narrative” and proposed overturning a code of conduct that restricted the investigation of “non-crime hate incidents.”
Security minister Dan Jarvis tried yesterday to distance Labour from the report’s findings.
He said they “were not current or new government policy”.
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp criticised plans to roll back limits on non-crime hate incidents.
He said: “To do so would waste police time and infringe freedom of speech.
“Any move away from this will enable the thought police to stop anyone telling uncomfortable truths that left wing lawyers do not like.”
Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman blasted: “Want to stop Pakistani rape gangs, end two-tier policing, or bring an end to mass immigration?
“We’re ‘far right’ now according to the Home Office.
“This nonsense . . . smears millions of decent people angry at how our country is being run.”
