This is an excellent article from ripx4nutmeg that any journalist worth his salt should be using when the usual line is trotted out to them by some woke politician or spokesperson

Thanks. I'll take a look.

That's fantastic, thank you very much.

The last few years has felt like one huge Chris Morris prank

We really need him to do one last Brasseye on this to really get things going

She is great on Twitter. Revealing the madness that is out there

As a newly 'out' trans person, I find this very reasuring. Just hope the woman thing isen't bringing my chances back up again?

Fuck me, no wonder they wont let the LGB distance from the T, they bring the hate crime stats to the team.

Thanks OP, excellent article. Love those facts and that sunlight

I've been thinking about this 'most marginalised and abused' claim this since it is trotted out so often. Appreciate the figures linked to in the OP -murder and suicide stats are clear. Hate crime not so much as it does show a big increase in recent years. I suspect it's true that this is to do with perception rather than reality but would be good to see something more concrete on that as otherwise its hard to refute.

I also got to wondering about groups of people who really are marginalised and oppressed as a comparison when this comes up. How would you measure that? What would be a good example?

Very clear.
One rather shocking detail jumped out at me
<a class="break-all" href="https://archive.md/OGsFO/again?url=www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/03/26/police-officers-victims-almost-half-hate-crime-prosecutions/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Another reportt^ revealed that police officers are victims of hate crime incidents in almost half of all hate crime prosecutions.

Yes, its almost as it 'hate crimes' are used to persecute prosecute people the cops dont like?

Her sleuthing is incredible. One stop shop to put everything into perspective and save your sanity. 🙏

15 women have been killed since 2009 by serving or former police officers.

Puts a few things into perspective.

That's an excellent article
