Can you provide examples in UK law?

  No sorry, that causes me too much psychological harm, amounting to at least serious distress.

  Infamously the Nazi dog salute case: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-43478925 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-43478925

    That was a hate crime case under existing legislation. It's not relevant to the interpretation of 'psychological harm' in this new legislation.

      What's your point? There's no examples of psychological harm under the new legislation because it's new. We can however infer from how the old legislation has been enforced.

        It’s not a very specific point of comparison to serve as a response to scott_w’s question. You can infer that legislation is sometimes badly interpreted and badly enforced. I’m sure this new legislation will be badly interpreted and badly enforced in some instances. That doesn't lead us to the sort of over-the-top scenario that briandear was painting.
