Since the referendum there has actually an effort to urge people to report hate, so it's very hard to say if the rise in reports is a rise in the crime, or a rise in the reporting of the crime and a rise in awareness.
We should always be concerned about any hate crime but trying to make it an issue of Brexit is probably fairly naive. There are always people in every society with those views.
Do I think you are trying to make a mountain out of a molehill? Yes I hope so.

I wish I was free to reveal things I have and am working on and due or have been taken to Court as to your point in the first paragraph.
However I must not.
I am a Lawyer, I talk to other Lawyers across the UK,the rise is mainly in England, however there is validity to your point that more incidents and crimes not reported before are likely being now, however again, I am hearing more and more of the terminology of, ''we voted to get rid of you, why are you still here''.
Again ignore that if you choose.
No one is making it about brexit either, I said the referendum had brought out of the woodwork a minority who held racist,xenophobic and other prejudiced views.
I stress a minority again, that is what I said, no one is saying at all England is a racist Country,only that these incidents and yes crimes too, are on the rise in England particularly.
I don't either make mountains out of molehills, I just do my job in working Law, and I know what I and my colleagues come across and have heard and seen.
You and others can dismiss all you like as to that just to suit your agenda, I would rather my agenda stay as it was before,than have to now deal with people being got at unjustly, just because they are of a different race or nationality.
Do you work in Law, do you see these cases?
Apart from just questioning my integrity,what actual facts have you to say this is not the case as to these rising incidents and crimes.
Are or even the Police wrong too in your eyes who recommend the charging for said incidents/crimes.
