Background
We ask the UK Government and Parliament to take stronger action to protect communities from racist and religious hate chants at public rallies. This includes giving police clearer guidance and powers to stop hate speech, enforcing existing public order and hate crime laws consistently, and reviewing rally permits where there is a risk of intimidation, ensuring free speech is exercised responsibly and safely.
