This is the moment an embarrassed police officer reluctantly knocked on a suspected 'anti-migrant' protester's door amid an increasing backlash over the scourge of 'thought police'.

Doorbell footage shows two Warwickshire Police officers approaching the property in Nuneaton to give the homeowner a leaflet ahead of a planned anti-immigration demonstration on Saturday.

But one of the officers is hesitant to carry out the task and admits his visit is 'woeful' and a 'load of 'b******'.

It is the latest in a string of heavy-handed police responses over 'thought crimes', with writers, councillors and parents talking in school WhatsApp groups targeted in recent months.

And on this occasion, the officer himself even appeared to disagree with the police callout.
