Is There a Multiplication of Hate Crime?
Humza Fazil: We've become very docile and very accepting of the idea that we need to be coddled and monitored by the state. I don't like the message they portray, which is that everyone is criminal enough so they should be surveyed all the time, and someone needs to be watching. And now on the heels of that we have this multiplication of of hate crime. That's as much a surprise to me as it is to you. You can't walk anywhere in the UK without being potentially monitored. It struck me as quite horrifying given that Great Britain and its legal and parliamentary traditions are at the epicenter of Western freedoms.
