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.

Greater Manchester s Hate Crime Awareness Week
People living in Greater Manchester are encouraged to look out for each other and to be kind on the eve of this year’s Hate Crime Awareness Week.
Hate crimes are crimes committed against someone because of their race, religion, disability, trans identity or sexual orientation. These are the personal characters currently identified by law, however in Greater Manchester we also record hate crimes against alternative sub-culture.
Crimes of this nature can include verbal abuse, intimidation, threats, harassment, assault, bullying, or damage to property.
