Police log Rudd’s conference speech as ‘hate incident’
A SPEECH given by Tory Home Secretary Amber Rudd has been logged as a “hate incident,” police confirmed yesterday.
Ms Rudd used her conference address to “set out a number of possible measures to reduce immigration, including new restrictions on recruiting overseas workers and students,” in Birmingham in October.
The speech, which called for employers to draw up a list of foreign workers, led to a furious backlash and accusations that her comments were overtly racist.
