Too paywalled;didn’t read: he is claiming that minority group leaders are afraid of repercussions from majority communities if someone committing a hate crime gets a longer sentence over the bill.
Unsurprisingly the only people I could find reposting this story are far right nutjobs who are taking it to mean like the bill is not needed because there’s no problem with how minorities are treated and this unfrees their speech.
It actually worse things for majority, but ok
Any Bill on controlling speech is bad and should never be implemented. This is the worst fucking idea in the grand scheme.
From reading the definitions of this bill and its content. It seems so wishy washy.
It would either be impossible to prove and is in essence toothless
Or
Could be applied unfairly in its loose definitions.
If its the former why even bother with this bill. Helen McEntee worried about “social justice” more than actual justice
If they makes a hames of the implementation and arrests, it can certainly breed a lot of resentment between groups.
I read this twice thinking, ‘who the hell is Hate Crime Bill? He sounds nasty!’
Ok I get it now…

Hate Crime Bill
Worst superhero ever
People who support this bill, why? Also who decides what a protected group is? If a group isn’t protected isn’t that discrimination?
Who the fuck is Hate crime Bill? Sounds like a badass
The people who say it’s nothing to worry about will be the same ones impacted by it when they criticise the church or other religions.
They think it’s just to stop people being racist or homophobic but it’s going to impact you too.
People need to write to their elected representatives and stop this from happening. There is no need for further regulation – clamping down on individuals’ speech in this way is a line that must not be crossed.
