You live in a strange fantasy world Yes, it's a fantasy that people in wheelchairs are discriminated against. In the world of dippy that would make sense. |

That's a different argument again.
you argued that people in wheelchairs were routinely called names.
That was bollocks.
Again.

Categories covered by hate crime legislation.
Race or ethnicity
Sexual preferences, for example, being gay, lesbian, non-binary etc.
Religion
Disability
Calling someone names because of their disability is a crime.

You seem now to be quoting US figures and misunderstanding what they mean by abuse.
I think you have humiliated yourself enough now. I'll leave it there

So, calling somebody a stupid black c*nt is a hate crime but calling someone a stupid old c*nt isn't.

Yes, we've become very selective who's hurt feelings classify as a hate crime, now if you put black or trans or gay in front of 'old' c*nt then it will be a hate crime, but the straight white 'old' c*nt has to suck it up, strange old world we live in. |

Oh my god! Is this for real? Have BA gone full woke? I'm afraid I just cant take this trendy woke nonsense seriously. Weak virtue signalling lefties are incapable of seeing that woke, BLM, taking the knee, and ESG are nothing more than American fads. LOL.... love your avatar. I preferred the pink Care Bear.  |

LOL.... love your avatar. I preferred the pink Care Bear. I want to thank Red for allowing himself to be vulnerable and showing us his caring side, however briefly. We will never give up on you, Red. |

That bloke with the beard has manicured and polished nails, which he must think make him somehow more attractive. It reminds me of Robin Hood - men in tights as BA know how to rob you, now the air hostexes are wearing tights. What next? Suspenders?  |

So, calling somebody a stupid black c*nt is a hate crime but calling someone a stupid old c*nt isn't. Precisely. Which is why so called hate crime law is a politically correct nonsense designed to silence dissenting voices, appease the woke, and pander to minorities. As appeal court judge the Rt Hon Sir Stephen Sedley said: "Free speech includes not only the inoffensive but the irritating, the contentious, the eccentric, the heretical, the unwelcome, and the provocative. Freedom only to speak inoffensively is not a freedom worth having". |

Calling men in dresses names is also a hate crime. Why isn't it a crime to call someone four eyes, or ginger minger, or fatty, or people in wheelchairs?
They too have feelings, just like the bloke in the dress, so why are some people's hurt feelings a crime, but others aren't, that's very selective.
Indeed. And on that point there fails the whole concept of "hate crime".
Which is just one reason why I don't agree with it.
