Very prescient was our George Orwell:
Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police
and
Harry Miller
Unfucking believable.

Re: 1984 is already here.
Once policing is based on claimed 'feelings', then consistency and rationality is out the window, because what causes upset to someone with a 'cast iron constitution' is very different to what might caus upset to a shrinking violet.
As the questioner points out, anyone can take offence at anything in any given moment for any reason. Being 'offended' is not grounds to be considered a victim (or at least it shouldn't be). I believe the language previously was about 'what any reasonable person' would feel.
Dark times indeed.
