What do you mean 'explained away'? I don't know why you're obsessed with the figure of 58%, I never mentioned it.

You have on more than one occasion tried to catch me out, for example when we were talking about animal cruelty and the religious slaughter houses. Please don't try and play innocent. You made sure you made a point that I wasn't going to talk about Halal only even though it wasn't needed.
So why don't you ever write anything other than Brexit related stuff if you're so keen to report on crimes rising, crimes that the UK didn't have too much of before? It's all the same, the rise of crimes regarding to race, religion and ignorance.
Is that a case of 'icantbearsedism'?
You mean like "whatabout the 58%" that no one else even mentioned?
This is where you attempted to trivialise and explain away the percentage increase by saying that some of the increase was due to crimes that have nothing to do with race or nationality (e.g. disability / sexuality hate crimes)
Percentage increases don't work like that.

So that's a "no" then.
A fixed percentage of this year's (larger) figures is still greater than the same percentage of last year's (smaller) figures. Fortunately they only account for about 0.2% of cases so it is a moot point. Raised awareness will be a far greater factor in skewing the figures.

I'm not belittling or trivialising these sorts of crimes.
But there is no mention of these crimes rising in the article.
That is your assumption and diversionary tactics.

Really? It's not on the rise huh?
The UK wasn't really a country that had to concern itself with something like FGM was it? Is that why we never needed facts and figures before do you think? I mean, it wasn't even made illegal until recently, I wonder why? Hmmm.. stick your thinking cap on Himmy.
Not on the rise. Tut tut Himmy.
And by the way, the hate crime since Brexit has almost gone back to the level it was pre-brexit. Lets hope this trend continues. Oops, is that too positive?

No! Not according to the article, despite your assertion that it is.

You deliberately being thick today Himmy? Take your head out of JohnD's backside again please and actually read what I wrote.
I'm fully aware of what you wrote, and I fully stand by my responses.
It's pretty clear Blightymam is using the last several decades as his time period in which these things increased, whereas you are using a more recent period. Come now, boys, let's not be disingenuous! There are more fun ways for us to troll each other

Then your response is wrong.
The article doesn't mention on the rise, however if you actually think, yes, think Himmy, there is a reason now why FGM is a problem. It's 'on the rise' because of the diverse culture that Britain now is (and multicultralism I like btw). The amount of people who practice FGM has risen in the UK, so yes, it's on the rise.

It's scary, as scary as any hate crime that JohnD talks about.

And you yet again did not address my post, was it too difficult for you, or not interesting because it wasn't about Brexit?
Instead you are content in calling me a name. So is it you that needs to be banned because you posted an insult then JohnD? Practice what you preach.
