Introduce a higher maximum prison sentence for Racial Abuse
I would like the government to change the maximum penalty for Racial abuse across the UK. This would entail harsher punishment for racial abuse across England and Wales involving longer prison sentences.
As a person of ethnic minority myself I have been subjected to racial abuse myself and feel much more could be done to decrease racial abuse cases.
In 2019/20, racist abuse rose by 43%. During things such as football seasons and events that attract the public eye abuse increased further.
Racial abuse is not okay whether you are famous or not! There is no excuse for racial abuse!
