Hate crime is an acute problem in England & Wales yet there's still no national plan to tackle it.
I’ve joined others across civil society calling on the Government to act now and deliver a new Hate Crime Action Plan.

@bschcnetwork.bsky.social @jongarland.bsky.social asks: are hate crime offenders bias-motivated offenders, or high-volume offenders who commit hate crime offences as part of a prolific criminal career?

The UK Supreme Court ruling redefining the category of women to exclude trans and non-binary people, is a travesty. It erases lived realities and undermines decades of progress toward equality. I support calls for an appeal (1/2). 🏳️‍⚧️

Right now, foxes are being chased to exhaustion and torn apart by hounds—all in the name of ‘tradition.’

Boxing Day remains the biggest day of the year for the fox hunting community.

Please RT to raise awareness and follow us to help end this cruelty for good.

I had a temporary job in a dull office at Leicester City Council. Most of my colleagues were Tories. I took the rest of the day off and met up with @jongarland.bsky.social in the pub. Cheers!

We see it so often that I think we can state this as a general rule:

Those who most loudly proclaim their patriotism will, given the time and opportunity, harm their own nations as surely as any foreign adversary.
