UK police handling of non-hate crime incidents involving racist slurs between English and Welsh people has drawn criticism. Over 13,000 such incidents were recorded in a year, raising concerns about the proper use of police resources.
UK police have recorded several claims of racism between English and Welsh people as non-hate crime incidents, leading to accusations of wasting valuable time investigating trivial complaints. One woman reported being called a ' Welsh witch,' and a man complained after being told he was a 'sheep sh*****.' These non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs) are meant to be reserved for cases with a genuine risk of significant escalation.
Senior officials criticized police for investigating such trivial matters, with 13,000 non-crime hate incidents recorded in the year to June. Rachel Reeves and Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp criticized the practice, highlighting cases involving children insulting each other
