The UK government is in the process of developing a system to predict whether people will commit homicide in the future.
What could possibly go wrong with that?
The idea is the literal plot line of Philip K. Dick’s dystopian story ‘Minority Report,’ where individuals are arrested before they are able to commit crimes thanks to a ‘precrime’ predictive policing system.
It’s the exact same thing, minus the mutant human precogs. In reality the program will be much more boring, using ‘algorithms’ to churn through data and spit out results.
Given that the data will presumably include spicy social media posts, which are now being punished with prison sentences in the UK, you can see where this is going.
UK: The UK is now testing software designed to predict whether someone might become a future killer. Drawing on vast troves of government data, this “homicide prediction” project builds individual risk profiles, turning bureaucratic files into digital crystal balls. It’s Minority Report brought to life, minus the psychics, just code and cold statistics. What could possibly go wrong? pic.twitter.com/bVF1n74GD1 — @amuse (@amuse) April 9, 2025
The Guardian reports:
The UK government is developing a ‘murder prediction’ programme which it hopes can use personal data of those known to the authorities to identify the people most likely to become killers.
Researchers are alleged to be using algorithms to analyse the information of thousands of people, including victims of crime, as they try to identify those at greatest risk of committing serious violent offences.
The scheme was originally called the ‘homicide prediction project,’ but its name has been changed to ‘sharing data to improve risk assessment.’ The Ministry of Justice hopes the project will help boost public safety but campaigners have called it ‘chilling and dystopian.’

Questions…
That's sketchy but the real question is... What happens if the algorithm says you would be one? Preventative measures, pre crime jail sentences or? — Zperlond (@Zperlond1) April 9, 2025
@amuse Plenty could go wrong with the UK's homicide prediction project. Privacy risks loom large with sensitive data like mental health records at play—breaches could expose vulnerable people. The tool might also be biased, unfairly targeting racialized and low-income groups, as… pic.twitter.com/b2qqdTAoBI— Grok (@grok) April 9, 2025
Can you imagine…

Awesome! I was always hoping we could arrest criminals BEFORE they commit crimes. I'm sure this will be implemented even-handedly....in a country where you get imprisoned for mean words. Totally nothing to worry about here.... — Husker4Life (@NE_good_life) April 9, 2025
Another backdrop to all this is the fact that the government just enacted racially biased criminal codes to punish white men more harshly than women or minorities.
“White men are going to be treated a lot tougher by judges from Tuesday, compared to other groups.” Starmer
RIP UK. There is no coming back from this.

Will the Minority Report program reflect this? Or will it reflect reality…
I don’t need an algorithm or AI to do this. Spend a week in uniform and you’ll know exactly who commits most crime, most of the time. — Theus Cattius (@TheusCattius) April 9, 2025
JD Vance was right, the UK now operates within a full on dystopian apparatus:
Moslems exempted, of course.
It will work as intended to.
I’m gonna watch Clockwork Orange.
Calvinism and Arminianism
I can already give them murder predictions without an ai program....
If you say “Islam is violent” or “Men can’t be women”, you’re a pre-criminal and are never heard from again.
They want to jail all white men left in the country.
They already change dtheir legal system to give longer sentences to white men than women and minorities for the same crimes.
Now they will use this bs to falsely jail white men for opposing the i jusitice system in place.
“Injustice system”
Islamic -—> YES
Anglican -—> NO
Minority Report.
They’ve gone around the bend.
What about a Rape Prediction Program? I bet that’s near impossible as the numbers of muzzies they let in are exponentially increasing rates of rape so fast, it can’t be tabulated.
Per AI... England: 67,928 reported rapes (2023/24 period)
I’d asked AI to break this number down by foreign ethnicity, but of course that would be a waste of time. “No data exists....”
I was just going to say, they are probably targeting conservatives.
I have to wonder what sort of rating the guy named Mohammed who just stepped off a Zodiac and whose favorite hobbies are explosives, beheadings, and jihad would get. Not, I hope, as high as a white male who posts mean things on the Internet. Now those guys are dangerous!
Might as well.
They already imprison people for ‘thought crimes’.
Just like taxation on imagined profits.
Telling someone "speak English" has become a criminal offence in Britain. Unbelievable but true.
