It might be the case that the UK is too cuckolded and stupid to survive.
This would be a point of evidence in favor of that possibility.

Gosh -- reading comprehension -- we gotta work on that.
And checking on something like that is an utter and complete waste of time.

I don't see that this has to do with national survival.

We are leavng the EU and Europe's increasing federalism and plans for a united Europe, we are taking control of our own borders and we wqill be free to make our own trade agreements unlike mot of the rest of Europe.

The laws relating to hate are petty, and need to be properly looked at and sensible reformed, and it's not a question of national survival.

Apparently, some crabby old ladies do.

It's annoying and probably futile, but I don't think I would consider it a crime, hate or otherwise, unless there is a lot more to the story. The police should investigate when actual harm has been done, but this is ridiculous.

Are people now allowed to pump their own gas in NJ, or do you mean over the border in PA or NY ?

When will this insanity stop.
When they find a cure for the mental disorder known as PC liberalism.

There is an on going debate in the UK and one of Britain's most senior police officers Sara Thornton who heads the National Police Chiefs Council has spoken out.

Thornton clearly stated that police resouces should concentrate on core crimes such as violence and theft at a time of limited resources and hate crime is a waste of resources. Thhornton also spoke out against any possible widening of the definition of what constitutes hate crime.

Senior police officer: Investigate burglaries and violent crime not misogyny - Sky News

The polices role is to prevent and detect crime rather than to seek out it's motivations or interprut the actions of people as a crime.

There are those that disagree with Thornton but at least we are at last having some form of debate on the matter.
