Personally, i think things have gone too far. We are now at the point where if 1 single person takes offence at something someone said, then it is classified as a hate incident. That is 100% wrong, and I can't believe that is now the law.

Of course it's not a level playing field though because certain groups of people haven't been targeted by hate and prejudice for centuries.
