The Law Commission is seeking our views on new proposals to change the existing Hate Crime laws. These new proposals will include hate crime against groups of people including those who identify as transender - and of vital ance, does not need to be aimed at a named individual to be a crime. Hopefully such legislation will prevent the likes of Burchill et al from writing vituperative articles which has happened in very recent months.
