Women who fear being prosecuted under the new hate crime law are being warned not to take their personal phones into police stations as a new poll reveals that voters who want to repeal the bill outstrip supporters by more than two to one.
Guidance for women “who want to be able talk freely … about how sex is real and can’t be changed” has come at the same time as the first poll to be conducted since the legislation came into effect.
The survey by polling firm FindOutNow — members of the British Polling Council and the Market Research Society — found that 45 per cent of adults said they want to see the act repealed while 21 per cent wanted to retain it.
