Our speech laws are bad enough. But at least they can, in theory, be repealed and amended by members of parliament. NCHIs, by contrast, just bubbled up out of the policing quangocracy. No law was ever passed instructing the police to waste their time like this. But on and on they’ve gone, for more than a decade now.

Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Hopefully progress of a sort, but I do wonder — does that mean they will delete all the records of NCHIs that they have already recorded. I’m going to guess not.
As to introducing a ” more common sense system”, I agree. And I have a proposal. How about the police recognize that free speech is one of the long cherished rights of an Englishman, established for a thousand years, and that people grow a slightly thicker than paper thin skin.
Oh, and another “more common sense system” would be for the police to spend their time arresting actual criminals and increasing, for example, the burglary clearance rates from the humiliating 12% which is what it stands in London today. Me? I think there are few things more hateful than having your house broken into, having your property stolen and being afraid to sleep in your own bed. Call me insensitive but I think that’s a lot more hateful than enduring someone whistling “Bob the builder”. I’m going to go out on a limb and say even the most “persecuted” of minority groups would rather an unkind word rather than having their house broken into.
Can we implement this superior system? “Yes we can”.
