'Expressions of hatred toward someone on account of that person's colour, race, sex, disability, nationality (including citizenship), ethnic or national origin, religion, gender reassignment, or sexual orientation is forbidden. Any communication which is threatening or abusive, and is intended to harass, alarm, or distress someone is forbidden. The penalties for hate speech include fines, imprisonment, or both.The Police and CPS have formulated a definition of hate crimes and hate incidents, with hate speech forming a subset of these. Something is a hate incident if the victim or anyone else think it was motivated by hostility or prejudice based on: disability, race, religion, gender identity or sexual orientation. A hate incident becomes a hate crime if it crosses the boundary of criminality.'Doubtless the woman questioning PC 'Thicko' Plod thought comments and actions taking place were 'motivated by hostility or prejudice...based on race' as would any one with a modicum of intelligence or common sense.Or better still had the Sweeney been on the spot Detective Inspector Jack Regan and his partner, Detective Sergeant George Carter could, with a few clips around the ear, have sorted out the racists.How the Palestinian issue, in which we have no interest, is bringing this country down when we allow it to act as a venue for the activities of those that do have.
