Wanted: David Cameron for hate crimes against Brexiteers

Thanks to the Home Office’s crackdown on hate crime, the Home Secretary recently found her conference speech officially recorded as a ‘hate incident’, after an Oxford University physics professor complained to the police that she was ‘picking on foreigners’. However, Mr S can’t help but wonder if Amber Rudd will soon be joined by her former colleague David Cameron on the ‘hate incident’ list.

In a speech at Davos, Cameron told the global elite how he tends to spend his days now he is no longer prime minister. The Mail on Sunday reports that Cameron said he had taken up shooting again — with a specific focus on taking down ‘Borises and Michaels’:

‘I have used the extra time to take up shooting again. I find that when I shoot a few Borises and Michaels I feel a whole lot better.’

Surely one to report to the Home Office for picking on Brexiteers?
