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.

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.
