He represents the real 48% of what I wonder? 48% of half a rational brain?

I'm surprised this thread hasn't received a bigger response. It should have.

// get these fanatics arrested under the Offences Against the Person Act. Why is there no police investigation? Only Brexiteers get arrested for 'hate speech' //

well it is not against the Offences against the person act 1861 and doesnt count as an attempt either ( Attempts Act 1981)
// Only Brexiteers get arrested for 'hate speech'// Brexiteers should be put down and or gassed like badgers under the public health acts 1870 and following
They are a threat to the .. to the ... safety of the Kingdom

//well it is not against the Offences against the person act 1861 and doesnt count as an attempt either ( Attempts Act 1981)//

But does it constitute "hate speech" (which I believe is criminal)?

Do the simplistic legal arguments cited meet the conditions of modern
diverse societies and the necessity of mediating between different groups?

I would suggest that hate crime legislation is a more flexible tool to deal with today's realities
