South Wales Police is enforcing its own bespoke Islamic blasphemy law — and it won’t be the only force to do so.
When the FSU warned that the Government’s official definition would silence legitimate criticism of Islam, some accused us of being hysterical.
Our warning has been vindicated time and again.
South Wales Police is now effectively enforcing a blasphemy code, with officers instructed to record speech that goes beyond what they regard as “legitimate discussion” of Islam.
But what constitutes “legitimate discussion” of Islam in a country that abolished blasphemy laws in 2008? And why should officers at South Wales Police have the power to decide what may and may not be said about Islam and Muslims?
The Government’s official definition of Islamophobia — now repackaged as “anti-Muslim hatred/hostility” — was a gilded invitation for public bodies to go even further with their own definitions and guidance.
The result is legal uncertainty. Individuals cannot know whether their lawful speech or beliefs will be recorded by the police, nor how any resulting record may be retained, used or disclosed.
If an officer decides that someone has crossed the line of what they consider “legitimate” debate about Islam and Muslims, the police will, in all likelihood, record it as an anti-social behaviour incident.
That record could then appear on an enhanced DBS check and cost someone a job.
We will inevitably see women who describe the burka as a tool of oppression logged alongside those who criticise halal food or public prayer events.
Most concerning of all, the policy will deter people from speaking out on sensitive issues — from the grooming gangs scandal to Islamist extremism — including public officials and journalists, for fear of acquiring a black mark against their name.
The Free Speech Union has written to South Wales Police demanding that it withdraw this guidance. If it refuses, it has been warned that judicial review proceedings will follow.

Police were filmed bashing a black man’s head in with their knee at a BLM rally.
Except, it wasn’t a black man.
And it wasn’t at a BLM rally.
It was a white protestor being brutalised for protesting the murder of a young white boy.
So, of course, the media won’t care.
I will take absolutely no lectures about "divisiveness" from the people who gave us two-tier policing, racial hiring quotas and endless race-baiting.
Unlike you, we do not kneel.
And then I said “You better take that gollywog of that charity shop shelf! You racist old bitch!”
And everyone clapped
“I don’t care if the last time she left Southampton was when there were only about 8 black people in all of Britain! She needs to keep learning the terms as I deem them acceptable!”
Horrific details laid out by the judge at Digwa sentencing.
As follows;
Digwa used his own mobile phone to film his victim attempting to escape by climbing onto a commercial rubbish bin and over a fence, while Digwa taunted: 'You're not going to get away with this big man.'
Sentencing Digwa, Judge William Mousley KC said: 'You continued to make films of Henry suffering, ignoring much of his desperation at having been stabbed. You told him that had not happened, no doubt to convince others who were nearby.' These clips have not been released.
Henry managed to land on top of a car parked in front of number 68, on the other side of the fence he jumped over. Digwa went on to take close-up photos of the incapacitated Henry lying on the ground.
In footage from a home security camera, Henry was heard saying 'I am dying', with Digwa replying, 'you're not dying bro'.
Ten minutes later, Henry said 'you stabbed me', with Digwa responding, 'no, I didn't', and, 'you were recording me thinking you're sick', which is slang for 'tough'.
In that ten-minute period, Digwa did not call an ambulance - but did film Henry for a full five minutes.
This clip was not played in court for being 'too disturbing to be shown'. The court heard the attack was not witnessed but neighbours heard Henry say he had been stabbed and was dying.
11 trans people have been murdered since 2000. 3 by “clients”, 1 drug dealer, 2 family 3 partners, 1 by school students and 1 by a transwomen. All knew their killers.

@wanderer_bolton@LeoKearse BTW, are you ever going to show your face and name or will you just keep using my team as a burka to argue with people under?
🔥🚨 BREAKING — Video has now emerged of Vickrum Digwa, the killer of 18-year-old Henry Nowak, brandishing a sword while threatening others in a road rage encounter.
The footage provides additional context into Digwa’s behavior before the fatal December stabbing.
@wanderer_bolton@LeoKearse The police aren't social workers. We give them the monopoly on violence. They should be able, not free, ABLE to use it.
Otherwise, everyone else will take it back.
Finally getting over the asthma - and here's the org chart of the Newark protests, as promised. A few are missing, particularly the Catholic NGOs. But this is the basic template for how mass protests are coordinated so quickly.
