The UK, which once used to be one of Europe’s most welcoming places to be gay, has seen a 462% increase in sexual orientation hate crime reports since 2012.

The number of reports regarding transphobia has shot up even further with a 1,426% increase, according to the House of Commons Hate Crime Statistics report.

Holy shit.

I live in the UK and have personally seen hate become so much more prevalent. It's very sad

Propaganda works.

it's what happens when you have laws in the country that allow billionaires to sue and silence little people if they criticise them

Precarity (housing precarity, food precarity, job precarity, medical precarity, etc.) is a propaganda force multiplier.
