“John O’Sullivan was not exaggerating when he said that the police are more interested in sniffing out racist or Islamophobic attitudes than in investigating crime. When I reported to police the theft of my cheque book and attempted theft of £1,500 from my account, I was told ‘the police do not investigate such cases’. On the wall of the police station was a poster inviting me to ask for my Anti-Islamophobia Action Pack.”
