    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

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