- jl6 4y agoThis might help: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1986/64/section/4A https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1986/64/section/4A I don’t believe the UK has the concept of a “hate speech crime”. Rather, first a crime must be committed, and then that crime may be classified as motivated by hate, which attracts higher penalties. Also, intent matters, and it is a defense if the allegedly criminal conduct can be proven to be reasonable.
