        The biggest scandal about #Hatecrime is how the authorities don't consider the targeted rape of none Muslim white girls by Muslim grooming gangs as hate crime which it clearly is. The staggering wilful blindness continues for the wrong sort of victims. #HateCrimeAwarenessWeek

        Or a rise in over sensitive religious people thinking any criticism of their “beliefs” is a personal attack

        Really? Which IS the intolerant "religion" that seeks to impose it's lifestyle, culture and laws on the majority of the population? Is it the one that we dare not criticise, even as we are attacked?

        So offenses against men aren’t in here as a hate crime because they aren’t sure if it classifies? Seriously? We women want to be treated equal right? Well it should be equal across the board, not pick and choose!!!!

        Correct. And women’s retirement age should also be increased, given you live longer too. And no more automatic preference for children staying with their mother - they should stay with whoever is the better parent!

        I don’t know about equal retirement that’s. One of the reasons studied that explains why women live longer is we take less risks and do less dangerous jobs which is also a factor in the “pay gap” so if we have to say that women should retire later we would also have to ...-1

        Or just a rise in people deliberately taking offence to get others in trouble with our overly sensitive legal system. #nannystate

        “Hate crime is defined as an offence which THE VICTIM considers to be driven by hostility towards their race, religion, sexual orientation, disability or transgender identity.” The problem with this kind of thinking should be self evident.

        The 'rise in hate crime' is because almost everything's been classified as hate crime. These days, just thinking for yourself is a crime - perish the thought that you might have an opinion on anything.

        Having an opinion on a religious belief is not a hate crime. It’s freedom of speech but obviously that does not apply to a white atheist
