Julie Bindel, a feminist campaigner, and journalist Allison Pearson have both been questioned by police over alleged hate crimes. Bindel was not told which tweet the allegation related to, but assumed it was due to her view on trans women accessing female-only spaces. Pearson is being investigated for a tweet she deleted months ago, which was seen as inciting racial hatred. These cases highlight what appears to be blatant overreach by the police. The Metropolitan Police Commissioner warned of funding cuts, and wasting resources on cases like these does not help their cause.
