All it takes in Great Britain today to get someone's house raided is to anonymously report them for a "hate crime," as well-known British writer and feminist Julie Bindel learned the hard way.
Bindel is among several others who faces persecution at the hands of the UK police state after "a transgender man from the Netherlands" complained that some of the things she said publicly were "offensive" to transgenders.
A similar type of thing happened to another UK journalist by the name of Allison Pearson. As we reported, Pearson was investigated for a "hate incident" involving a year-old post on X / Twitter that she deleted.
Both Pearson and Bindel are victims of the anti-free speech agenda of the far-leftists who now control the UK. Bindel wrote a scathing article for The Independent explaining the horrors of what she went through at the hands of British police.
"At first I thought that perhaps they were investigating a spat of local burglaries or car thefts in the area, although I soon dismissed that possibility," Bindel writes about the raid.
"The police are rarely proactive on those issues, as resources are so stark and ever diminishing ... Which is what made it so shocking when the young, female officers told me why they were standing on my doorstep."

Even leftists are tired of UK speech tyranny
Bindel was told by the female officers that she was being investigated for a "hate crime," though none was ever specified, nor was Bindel told how legal jurisdiction works with matters such as this.
When the officers asked Bindel if she would agree to voluntarily go the local police station for questioning, she told them absolutely not.
"Why should I do that when I have no idea what I was being accused of?" she asks. "I had better things to do."
One day later, Bindel received a phone call from law enforcement indicating that she would not be under investigation after all.
"I was disappointed," she recalls, noting that if the case proceeded all the way to trial, it could have become a "teachable moment" to "educate the public about this Orwellian state of affairs."
Bindel stayed calm the entire time but fully admits that she likely would have gotten really upset had she thought that UK police stood any chance of legally punishing her for words that came out of her mouth.
"I thought about the women who have lost jobs, been hounded out of college courses, friendship groups, and university societies, as well as those who would have found it distressing to be threatened with a hate crime conviction for no good reason," Bindel writes.
"Police coming after those of us who do nothing more than speak the truth about gender madness and refuse to bend the knee to the crazy cultists, are doing a massive public disservice."
Since police resources are already so limited as it is, wasting time on non-crimes like "offensive" things people say is not exactly the best way for the UK to get its flailing economy under control.
"Police have limited time to investigate actual crime, but are instead being tasked with ticking off the likes of me for daring to tweet that 'trans women are NOT women' (or whatever the person in Holland had objected to)," Bindel writes.
"I was able to send the two officers packing, without their visit even spoiling my lunch."
