So the significant increase in hate crime and hate incidents was just a coincidence? Research tells us that people who *appear to be immigrants* always loose out when anit-immigration rhetoric is ramped up because people often conflate the two. We’ve seen it time and time again.
-
The increase was in REPORTS of hate crime - which were encouraged at the time - and the definition of a hate crime is ludicrously subjective. Those crimes are logged without any proof. Of course there is still racism but there’s no evidence that Brexit or tabloids are to blame.
-
No evidence!? So you think the media has no influence on culture in Britain? People can just say things and there will be no ramifications?

I accept your first point regarding ‘always been nasty racists’ but the tabloids have mounted a systematic attack against immigration, especially from EU, for a decade, drip,drip,drip daily - always negative, always bordering on racist,thus contributing to a climate of hatred.

Brexit has been mannah for racists and bigots to say otherwise is mendacious or self-serving. Also you don't get to tell people they only have 'interpretations' whilst claiming your are right. Get over yourself princess.

Perhaps Kevin McGuire should use the same elocution support as Chia Onwurah...to remove his ethnic accent. Quite offputting to anyone who communicates in Plain English.
