All we did was ask
This would be hilarious if it weren’t so sinister.
Orwellian double speak at its finest. This is @Humberbeat’s official response. ‘We didn’t say you couldn’t… we just asked ‘why would you?’

There was never any suggestion he shouldn’t do what he was doing, he was just asked BY US, THE POLICE, why he would want to. Certainly when WE, THE POLICE, ask you why you would want to do something, there is NEVER ANYTHING the slightest bit menacing or intimidating about that, it’s purely an interesting conversation between two parties who are on a level playing field with no hint of one party having more state-backed power than the other. When WE, THE POLICE, just ask you why you would want to do something, knowing it would cause distress and upset to others in society, this is PURELY because we have an abiding curiosity about human nature and we love to phone random people for a chat about their conversational habits.
I genuinely cannot wait until they try this sort of thing on me.
