"117. ...The net for non-crime hate speech is an exceptionally wide one ...There is no provision for proportionality to be applied to recording. And the Guidance says nothing about the language to be used in any such record, or whether someone should be notified that a record, flagged as a hate incident has been made of a complaint against them, leaving such issues to individual forces to decide."

Dear FOI,
I refer to your email of 10/2/23 in which you asked me to confirm if I still wanted the information.
I DO NOT want the information. Other forces have supplied me with enough useful information on the subject to satisfy my interest.
Please consider this request withdrawn.
Yours sincerely,
D. Moore
