Is "hate crime" not also #thoughtcrime? Do we now have the Thought Police telling us not to hate? What may I not hate, @metpoliceuk?

What is hate crime anyway? Are we really not allowed to hate? Or say things about people we hate? What about free speech? @metpoliceuk

Why can't we say that we hate something or someone? Why is that a crime? Or are we allowed to hate only certain people only? @metpoliceuk

Please, @metpoliceuk what are the elements of a hate crime? Is it when I hate people or when I say something that makes people hate me?

Doesn't the European Convention of Human Rights allow us to hate something and give us the right to express our hatred? @metpoliceuk

It's good that you're asking these questions, but I doubt you'll get much of a response.
If we are kept "in the dark" about these things, then due to the uncertainty surrounding the boundaries, we can be made to assume that saying anything which isn't PC is "hate speech".
"Hate speech" is a very similar concept to "thoughtcrime", indeed.
