A 24-hour Stop Hate UK Helpline service is being launched in Wandsworth. The service gives people directly affected by hate crime, and witnesses to hate crime, a safe place to talk about their experiences and offers advice. Hate crime is motivated by hostility towards a person - it is usually ‘who’ the victim is, or ‘what’ the victim appears to be - that motivates the offender. Prejudices include a person’s perceived race, religion, sexual orientation, disability or gender. Stop Hate UK is working with Wandsworth Council to introduce the helpline - in the hopes of driving out hate crime, encouraging people to report it and offer support to people affected by it.

A CAMPAIGN group has fiercely condemned a suspected racist attack in a seaside town saying “there is no place for hate” in today’s society. Essex Police received reports a dark grey Mercedes E Class and a blue BMW M2 had been damaged in St Osyth Road, Clacton, overnight between April 6 and 7. The victims had also found insulting and offensive words which had been physically scratched into the two targeted vehicles. The force is now treating the attack, which occurred overnight between April 6 and 7, as a targeted and racially-motivated hate crime. A spokesman for Stop Hate UK, an organisation which gives people a way of reporting hate crimes, lambasted the incident.

In the skit, the comedians – who are boasting brightly coloured wigs – are asked to introduce themselves, to which they individually replied that their names were Kim Jong-Uno, Kim Jong-Dos, Kim Jong-Tres, Kim Jong-Cuatro and Juan Carlos.
They’re then asked to say something in Korean, with one comedian replying something back in jibberish.
