        What about hostility to disabled people by the .@Conservative Gvt will you be reporting this or is this another issue the Tory riddled @BBCNews intends to ignore? #GTTO

        Definitely a strong case for treatment of disabled by gov bureaucracy to be considered hate crimes

        Eventually the definition of hate crime will be broad enough that any crime, committed against anyone, will qualify. We will then have equal protection under the law... which is exactly what we had before this nonsense started.

        Ffs 'hostility to men' I say it again ffs ask any #BackTo60 #1950women about the hostility they face from trolls on here and more importantly the attitude/hostility of the @BBCNews towards these women

        Nobody is saying hostility to women on the basis of gender shouldn’t be a hate crime, they’re merely saying it should be a hate crime to be hostile towards a man on the basis of gender. Do you think it should be okay to hate men?

        A hate crime should be defined by the attitude of the perpetrator rather than the characteristics of the victim.

        There are no ‘hate crimes’ it’s either a crime or it’s not. If you beat up a guy it’s a crime. That’s the way it always was.

        Everything is a hate crime. Totally destroyed the concept it was created for.

        A crime motivated by the victim's gender or sex, whatever that might be, is already a hate crime.

        Hate is a crime. Dislike is a crime Criticism is a crime. Opinion is a crime. Expression is a crime. Orwellian dystopia is the path we are on.

        eventually, the concept will encompass so many different potential targets, that it will become all but meaningless. and then it will be abandoned. good riddance when it goes.
