TWO-tier policing claims are part of a “right-wing extremist narrative”, according to a leaked Home Office report. The secret papers also suggest the Government is deprioritising the Islamist threat and instead focusing on other “behaviours of concern”, such as misogyny.

It comes despite claims that 94 per cent of all terrorist deaths in the UK since 1999 were carried out by radical Islamists. The leaked strategy documents also propose reversing the Tories’ decision to limit the recording of “non-crime hate incidents”.

The report, known as the Rapid Analytical Sprint, was commissioned by the Home Office to map extremism threats — and leaked to the Policy Exchange think tank. Experts from that organisation last night warned the report’s proposals risk “making it more likely that dangerous people will be missed”.
They also claimed it would “threaten free speech” and dramatically widen the definition of extremism. The Policy Exchange said the focus was now on conspiracy theorists, misogynistic incels and those with “a fixation on gore and violence without adherence to an ideology”.
Paul Stott and Andrew Gilligan, from the think tank, said: “This new approach risks swamping already stretched counter-extremism interveners and counter-terror police with tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of new cases, making it more likely dangerous people will be missed.
