Masked police beat up peaceful demonstrators, bringing more people onto the street. Such were the scenes during Kyiv’s Maidan revolution in 2013-14, which overthrew that country’s president and ultimately led to a Russian invasion.

Peter Fahy said the Government needed to overhaul non-crime hate incidents because they were diverting officers from their core duties of . His call followed a row sparked by a police investigation into Allison Pearson, the Telegraph journalist, for allegedly stirring racial hatred in a tweet a year ago. The case by Essex Police. On Monday, Lord Hogan-Howe, a former Metropolitan Police commissioner, also of the use of non-crime hate incidents. He backed a report, published on Monday by the Policy Exchange think tank, which urged ministers to abolish the recording of the incidents by police after finding they took up 60,000 hours of officers’ time every year and . Mr Fahy told The Telegraph: “It is drawing police into really complex social issues, what might be seen as mainstream political comment, and it’s just not appropriate for the police to be drawn into this. We need to keep police out of these moral debates unless there is clear evidence of a crime. “Focusing on hate incidents rather than hate crimes has opened up an endless Pandora’s box about how people feel they are insulted and offended. It is then used as a weapon between different groups, with police stuck in the middle.” He said the future of should be part of a wider government review into what police should and should not do, and suggested there should be an alternative “civil remedy” to handle such hate incidents that did not involve the police. Mr Fahy said the “whole tenor of society” had changed since the recording of non-crime hate incidents was introduced, initially to log race hate incidents in the wake of the Macpherson inquiry into . He said that had come before the full development of social media, which acted as a conduit for amplifying incidents that “tend to gain a huge importance”. “Then they get priority over other more serious crimes just because of the depth of emotion that they generate,” he added. “In reality, there is not a huge amount police can do. I am not sure criminal law is the best way for dealing with this. “You have to look at it in terms of the police being overwhelmed by work. People feel police are not dealing with issues that the public want them to deal with.” In September, HM Inspectorate of Constabulary found that many forces were still failing to correctly apply the guidance . It uncovered evidence that confusion over the rules meant officers were taking a risk-averse approach summed up as “if in doubt, record”. As a result, non-crime hate incidents were too often being logged for complaints that amounted to little more than people’s “ ”. Yvette Cooper, the Home Secretary, has . She believes logging the incidents – particularly for anti-Semitism and islamophobia – is necessary to enable police to build an intelligence picture around community tensions in order to map trends and prevent escalation. Mr Fahy said any review needed to be wider than simply re-writing the guidance, adding: “It needs greater political direction on what is acceptable and what is not acceptable. If you slander me, I have to go to civil law to seek a remedy. It might be that there is some civil remedy that might be more straightforward. “It needs greater political direction on what is acceptable and a different way to resolve them.

Yankees’ Aaron Judge wins 2nd AL MVP awardIt is a well-known fact there is a cartel of a few rice millers with regard to the purchase of paddy and sale of rice in the country. The whole blame for this development should rest solely on the previous dispensations. Those past governments created a situation where ample opportunities were made available to a few wealthy persons with close connections to some powerful politicians of the day, for purchasing paddy from the farmers at very low rates and later sell the milled rice to the consumers at exorbitant prices according to their whims and fancies. Those in authority turned a blind eye to this operation as they benefited from the rice millers. They weakened the state mechanism which had been introduced by the previous government for purchasing paddy and converting such stocks into rice and making available that rice to the people at affordable prices through CWE and the co-operative outlets. The previous governments deliberately sabotaged the operation of this mechanism to pave the way for a few politically and otherwise close rice millers to exploit the rice market in the absence of any competition. The Paddy Marketing Board was neglected by previous governments. Now this rice miller mafia has become a formidable force even the government cannot control. The moment the government steps in to remedy this situation, the rice miller mafia will go all out to thwart the government’s efforts at controlling the price of rice. These rice millers extend loans to the farmers at the commencement of paddy growing seasons and ensure that the latter sell their paddy only to them at the prices they fix. The indebted farmers have no alternative other than selling produce to those millers at very low prices stipulated by them. Now the PMB has neglected all its paddy stores and mills, and the government has no money to be released to the PMB for purchasing paddy. The vacuum created by non-involvement by the government in the purchase of paddy offered a golden opportunity to the rice millers to purchase paddy at the prices they desire. This is the sorry state of affairs now prevailing in the country. What would be the scenario if the government stepped in to solve this problem by using its power? It has neither money nor facilities for storing paddy and operational rice mills for milling the paddy. The rice miller mafia could ensure that there will be no rice in the market, at all. They can afford to do so. Therefore, I feel this is a very delicate issue that has to be handled diplomatically. The government should come to a compromise with the rice millers wherein the millers will be able to dispose of their stocks of rice in the market at a reasonable price in line with the expenses they have incurred in purchasing paddy. The government should be flexible in deciding the price of rice taking into consideration the expenses incurred in acquiring such stocks of paddy by the millers and persuade the millers to release the stocks of rice they now hold to the market at the revised prices. Retaining the current controlled price of rice will aggravate the situation. K. M. Suraweera Veyangoda
