Is the act helping, do you think it’s a good thing or a bad thing – vote yes for good, no for bad!
The legislative groundwork for the Hate Crime and Public Order Act was laid through rigorous debates, public consultations, and a thorough legislative process.
The Act’s passage was not without controversy, as it sought to tread the fine line between protecting individuals from hate crimes and preserving freedom of speech.

This is just going to be used as a tool for people to get back at people they don’t like because they don’t have to have any proof that what someone has supposedly done has offended them, you can not police people’s feelings, because what one person might find offensive another person may not

This Bill is nothing more than a way to stop people having an opinion and expressing that opinion openly and freely along with a threat of jail if you do, much like In Russia, North Korea and China.
