This is the moment an embarrassed police officer reluctantly knocked on a suspected ‘anti-migrant’ protester’s door amid an increasing backlash over the scourge of ‘thought police’.
Doorbell footage shows two Warwickshire Police officers approaching the property in Nuneaton to give the homeowner a leaflet ahead of a planned anti-immigration demonstration on Saturday.
But one of the officers is hesitant to carry out the task and admits his visit is ‘woeful’ and a ‘load of ‘b******’.
It is the latest in a string of heavy-handed police responses over ‘thought crimes’, with writers, councillors and parents talking in school WhatsApp groups targeted in recent months.
And on this occasion, the officer himself even appeared to disagree with the police callout.
Speaking into a ring doorbell, the police officer tells the homeowner: ‘Warwickshire have asked me to come round.
‘It’s a load of b******* but it’s about this protest tomorrow in Warwickshire. They’re aware that you might be wanting to attend that planned protest.
‘And obviously that’s absolutely fine. You’ve got a freedom of speech and there are no issues at all.

He was instructed to go to the house to drop off a leaflet containing information about an anti-immigration demonstration due to take place on Saturday
‘I apologise and it’s really woeful. It’s not something I agree with, but I’ve been asked just to drop a leaflet about being involved in a protest.
‘It sounds bad, but it is what it is.’
The homeowner was less than impressed by the unexpected visit, and gives the police officer a stern retort.
He says: ‘Do me a favour. Take it back. Run back on it to them. Say we will no longer be silenced. And to f**** them off from me with love. Cheers.’
The resident adds: ‘The silent majority of Britain will no longer stay silent. Tell them that. Thank you very much. Have a good day.’
