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.
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.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Government and Parliament are not responsible for decisions to prosecute people.
