No Hate Crime
I have been an active person in promoting if that is the right word, to get rid of HATE CRIME, after my self and my partner Dean where attacked for being Gay and living together as a married couple, we where so proud of our wedding / Civil Partnership that we had it put into the Local paper like a straight couple do, so why not if they can why can’t we.
When we did we had no idea that people would re-act like they did and from this we ended up moving home, we did report it to the police but nothing came from it so didn’t bother after that.
However that was a few years back and things have changed for the best so if your a victim of hate crime or know of anyone who is, please note that there are so many other people out there who are victims of hate crime and find it hard to report it, but there is help out there and so many ways of reporting it.
So What you class as hate crime.
Hate Crimes happen because of hostility, prejudice or hatred of:
- disability
- gender identity
- race, ethnicity or nationality
- religion or belief
- sexual orientation.
They include things like name calling and verbal abuse, bullying and harassment, spitting and physical attacks, damage to property, graffiti, and written notes, emails and text messages.

There are 3rd Party reporting in some areas of UK too.
But if it’s urgent then ring 999.
Hate Crime is level 2 in the police response and that means they will try and respond within a few hours.
So don’t be a victim any more report it and help stamp out hate crime.
