Enforce laws to stop racist and religious hate chants at UK public rallies
Rallies with racist or religious hate chants create fear and intimidation. We ask the government to enforce existing laws, give police clearer powers, and review permits to protect communities while upholding free speech responsibly.
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.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call for a clear and specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do in regards to the current legislation in this area, or relating to the powers and enforcement responsibilities which sit with the police.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
