This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Prosecute people committing racial crimes and spreading racial hate in the UK.
Please sign this petition to show the Crown Prosecution Service that Uk citizens want racist offences prosecuted against and racism stamped out before it spreads and becomes the norm in this country.
More details
The Incitement to Racial Hatred -Public Order Act 1986 states an offence has been committed if acts are deemed as threatening abusive or insulting and intended or likely to stir up racial hatred.
There has been an enormous rise in these offences since the EU referendum and yet people are not being prosecuted.
Since the Uk has voted to leave the EU a voice has been given to racists in this country. More and more racist tweets, slogans, t-shirts, videos and football chants have come out.
