If you suddenly stop shopping at Marks and Spencer, you could be in fear of becoming radicalised. Well, according to Britain’s most senior Muslim policeman, Mak Chishty.

Mr Chishty further said that teenagers who unexpectedly stop drinking or wearing western clothes could be victims of radicalisation.

Mr Chishty told the Guardian: “This is not about us invading private thoughts, but acknowledging that it is in these private spaces where this (extremism) first germinates. The purpose of private-space intervention is to engage, explore, explain, educate or eradicate.”

Naturally, Twitter responded accordingly: chief inspector @CdrChishtyMPS draws up plans to put CCTV in kids bedrooms to check if they believe in Santa.

Extremely dangerous to suggest an entire community needs to be policed, if that's what has been proposed. @CdrChishtyMPS.

Just seen this cat loitering at my Local Chicken Cottage and hissing at M&S. Who can I report this to?@CdrChishtyMPS I'm an "extremist" according to the Scotland Yard chief Mak Chishty because I don't celebrate Christmas or drink alcohol! #britishvalues.

dear muslims, this 'muslim' police officer, @CdrChishtyMPS. is recommending you be thought-policed. he wants it for your children also.

@CdrChishtyMPS what a load of divisive tosh. No proof that normative and orthodox beliefs lead to extremism and or violence.

The French government recently faced ridicule after issuing an anti-terror warning in which its citizens were warned to be wary of those people "who do not eat baguettes".

In other nonsensical news, Qatar has expressly forbidden women from wearing leggings.

According to a pertinent social media campaign aimed at tourists ahead of the World Cup, "leggings are not pants.

In a bid to manifest equality, men wearing shirts will be "frowned upon."

It's not all bad news for cultural related feminism.

A Facebook lothario has faced a police investigation for harassment after sending a woman the following message on Facebook: "Hi sexy...kya hua? Chut nahin hai."

Before involving the police, the recipient did respond suitably: "Hello Sir! Greetings to you and your wife. I am very glad to receive this question enquiring whether I have female genitals or not, because I was pretty much confused about my gender too. So while your wife is busy in managing with your tantrums, you choose to drop such a message in my inbox…Us girls don’t come on Facebook to have sex or get attention. But hey, if you want some, here’s your chance to fame.

"Get ready to be prosecuted by the Police…I’m pressing charges…And while I do that, please tell your wife she has my sympathy…Good luck with the fame. Don’t let it get to your head.”
