Yvette Copper looks set to reject the findings of the Home Office rapid review of policy on extremism that she commissioned. Among other things the report brands the idea of two-tier policing as an example of a "right-wing extremist narrative", and says that “right wing extremists frequently exploit cases of alleged group-based sexual abuse to promote anti-Muslim sentiment as well as anti-government and anti-‘political correctness’ narratives”. It suggests that the definitions of extremism should centre more on behaviour than ideology, implying less focus on Islamist and far right extremism. Among other things, it suggests that misogyny should come under the extremist umbrella. Another controversial recommendation is for more rather than less action to deal with "non-crime hate incidents".
Here is the Policy Exchange's reaction to the report.
The report seems to be a perplexing mix of the sensible and the silly. Some will think it gives a revealing insight into the mindset of senior Home Office officials.
