Charge the Daily Mail with breaking The Racial and Religious Hatred Act 2006
For too long has The Daily Mail been in direct breach of The Racial and Religious hatred act. The publication hides behind it's trusted readership to convey hatred to the public.
Most recently this hideous piece of propaganda;

Yes, we can all agree time's are tough, tensions are high between communities, but we certainly do NOT need to be fed misleading articles and have our differences highlighted constantly.
The Daily Mail is in direct breach of the act under Section 29B:
(1) A person who uses threatening words or behaviour, or displays any written material which is threatening, is guilty of an offence if he intends thereby to stir up religious hatred.
The publication consistently stirs up racial hatred within our community and there is no place for this in our modern, multicultural society.
Things have to change.
