I for one, welcome the authoritarian left. I do not mine being told what to do. In fact, I enjoy it.

I have already explained what the graph is about.
Now, do you have that number, or do you just have more percentages?
Finally, when did written hate speech become illegal in the Uk? Section 127 is about online speech. The answer is 1986, not 2003.
A person who uses threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour, or displays any written material which is threatening, abusive or insulting, is guilty of an offence if—
(a) he intends thereby to stir up racial hatred, or
(b) having regard to all the circumstances racial hatred is likely to be stirred up thereby.
The Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 inserted Section 4A into the Public Order Act 1986. That part prohibits anyone from causing alarm or distress. Section 4A states, in part:
(1) A person is guilty of an offence if, with intent to cause a person harassment, alarm or distress, he—
(a) uses threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour, or disorderly behaviour, or
(b) displays any writing, sign or other visible representation which is threatening, abusive or insulting,
thereby causing that or another person harassment, alarm or distress.

8 pages of having to deal with you continuously ignoring every data provided, misrepresenting, twisting, and strawmaning everything, along with countless red herrings and endless narrative pushing is about enough.
When you have an argument that is more than logical fallacies, we'll continue.

Where did you get this number?
If you say “the report” then quote it.
In 2017/18, two per cent (1,605 offences) of all hate crime offences were indicated as having an online element, the same proportion as all police recorded crime24 in the year ending March 2018.
Godstud wrote:@anasawad regardless of the number, it is an extremely tiny amount convicted of hate speech and that number is actually decreasing, in some places. Your fears are unwarranted. Feelings are the driving force in your argument.
