Wow... that’s interesting but not surprising. |

Have we got a better breakdown on this? Realistically, the level seems to have returned roughly to where it was pre-lockdown, this seems a bit sensationalist. Also, how do they break down? Are these actually issues around people who are mask-exempt for reasons of disability feeling abused when challenged?

Probably to be expected with deteriorated mental health caused by lockdown. |

I still have a problem with the term ‘hate crime.’ I would hate it if my house was burgled. Does that make it a hate crime? If not, why not?

No that wouldn't be a hate crime, a police officer did explain to me what a hate crime is but it made little sense to me. I suspect the increase is down to people being generally more stressed about the pandemic, face mask arguments etc. |

Probably related to xenophobia, but that actually means an irrational fear of foreigners, not the often misuse for a hatred of foreigners.
