'Oozing pain': Plea for politicians to tackle hate speech

Sky Murphy2026-07-23T17:15:05.000Z

ffs another round of 'let's talk about hate speech' while real hate crimes happen. wake me up when something actually changes.

skin mate, not everything is harassment. People need to toughen up.

Isla Cooper2026-07-23T18:39:05.000Z

I'm so tired of this. Every time it's 'plea for politicians' - they never listen. We need actual laws, not just more talk.

Sky Murphy2026-07-23T19:12:05.000Z

touch grass, it's not about 'toughen up' when people get physically attacked. Clueless.

Jack Morrison2026-07-23T18:55:05.000Z

What's wrong with free speech? Some people need to grow a thicker skin.

Jamie Fox2026-07-23T19:48:05.000Z

my neighbour is terrified. It's not a game.

Chloe Martin2026-07-23T19:38:05.000Z

harder, freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences.

Chloe Martin2026-07-23T19:22:05.000Z

lol politicians will put out a press release saying they 'condemn' something and then do nothing until the next election.

sorry about your neighbour, that's awful. Hope she's okay.

I saw a guy screaming racial abuse at a bus stop last week. Police did nothing. What exactly are they supposed to tackle?

Bloody politicians all talk no action. Hate speech laws or not, these arseholes will still find a way to spread their crap.

Mia Carter2026-07-23T20:21:05.000Z

Honestly I'm torn. Hate speech laws can be slippery, but something has to give. People are genuinely scared.

Reagan Shaw2026-07-23T20:34:05.000Z

But who decides what's hate speech?? If I say something about the government is that hate speech now? Get real.

Isla Cooper2026-07-23T20:57:05.000Z

Not this again. When will people understand that 'freedom of speech' doesn't cover targeted harassment? Smh.

Mia Carter2026-07-23T21:32:05.000Z

of a strawman, no one's saying criticism of govt is hate speech. Don't deflect.
