What exactly is hate speech?


It is reported in the press that the son of Labour MP Ian Lavery has made a rude remark about Katie Price's disabled son.  Apparently Price has called for this to be treated as a hate crime, like racism.

Thanks to the Labour Party and their friends in the Conservative and LibDem parties, we live in a society in which any remark or action which can possibly be construed as racist can land you in very serious trouble.  So why isn't Lavery's son being dragged through the courts for what he said about Harvey?


Surely one offensive remark should be treated as seriously as any other offensive remark, but that is not the way things are in pre-communist Britain.  I smell hypocrisy.
