    An elite unit of detectives is being convened to monitor
    social media for anti-migrant posts.

    The National Internet Intelligence Investigations team will
    operate from the National Police Coordination Centre (NPoCC) in
    Westminster, drawing officers from forces across England and Wales.

    The unit will be tasked with flagging early signs of potential
    civil unrest and “maximising social media intelligence”, after last year’s riots exposed gaps in police planning.

    Home Office ministers say it will give local commanders
    national support to spot and respond to online threats.

    The move comes as protests outside asylum hotels spread across
    the country. On Saturday, crowds gathered in Norwich, Leeds and
    Bournemouth to demand action, with further demonstrations planned.

    Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner warned the cabinet that
    ministers must tackle “the real concerns that people have” about immigration to prevent disorder.

    "

    I am speechless and I ask the panel what they think.

    Speechless with joy? Outrage?

    Neither seem particularly appropriate responses to this sensible move.

    Perhaps you are outraged by the stupid response from Shadow home
    secretary Chris Philp, who accused the government of trying "to police
    what you post, what you share, what you think"?

    Why speechless, citizen? Anyone regularly attending or organising protests should expect to be of the interest to the state. Until your movements
    have been thoroughly checked how will the police and intelligence services
    know that you are beyond reproach?

    Go about your business and be wary of criticising government policy. Do
    not concern yourself with the activities of the police. Look away. You
    will be informed of everything necessary in due course.
