Changing UK Law

 

An online petition has just been posted to try to amend the current wording of the way in which a case is judged to be a 'Hate Crime' (http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/crime-victims/reducing-crime/hate-crime).

At present the wording is a little vague and someone has decided this needs changing and put the petition online here - http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/goth-hatecrimes/ I'd appeal to all of you reading this that are based in the UK to sign it, you may be thinking that things like this don't change anything, but Colchesters' MP Bob Russell thinks different, and is currently taking this issue up with the Home Secretary, so signing this petition is important. If the law is changed then it will means harsher sentences for crimes perpetrated against someone because of the way they look or dress. Go sign it, blog it, bulletin it and spread it around everywhere that you think it will be seen by people that it will benefit. Thanks
