The Race Relations Act 1965 was the first legislation in the United Kingdom to address racial discrimination.

Re: Ban racists from social media, anti-Semitism report says.
 

That is not the point, nor is it in dispute. You stated "Anti racist legislation was the first anti discrimination law to be introduced.". It wasn't.

Could you cite some of the sources from your dissertation?

New definition of 'helpful' I hadn't come across before...

You may as well have posted 'it's on the internet'.... :rolleyes:

Re: Ban racists from social media, anti-Semitism report says.
 

Ok, add "in relatively modern times" to my previous statement.

All the relevant legislation under discussion is on that site for you to peruse at your leisure. This is a luxury compared to when I was at University- their was no internet!

Re: Ban racists from social media, anti-Semitism report says.
 

early 20th century is relatively modern times.

Re: Ban racists from social media, anti-Semitism report says.
 

Why in the name of Cthulhu should I have to research to prove your point.

Did you try that approach with your Lecturers? "I haven't bothered referencing (Harvard or otherwise) - I expect you to find the authors, books, and page numbers; they're all in the under-grad library....". :rolleyes:

Re: Ban racists from social media, anti-Semitism report says.
 

You so didn't just use Cthulhu's name in vain.... :erm:

Re: Ban racists from social media, anti-Semitism report says.
 

I made it clear in post 35 that I would not be doing any research for the benefit of others. If this results in people not believing what I have stated; so be it.

I don't know why you've developed a sudden aversion to searching for the information that's required. The norm is for you to constantly do this to others in order to disprove what they say or undermine them at what seems like every available opportunity.

Lol, I had to Google that :D

94% of people who say that sort of thing on discussion forums are aware there is no research available.

Job done.

Re: Ban racists from social media, anti-Semitism report says.
 

Yes there is, if you really wish to avail yourself of this information take a look on the Government legislation website- it's all there.

If you take my earlier example of 'incitement to racial hatred'; do let me know if you find anything similar with regards to similar behaviour towards other minority groups.

If you aren't bothered, like you say, job done.

Re: Ban racists from social media, anti-Semitism report says.
 

Thanks. Could you cite some of the sources from your dissertation?

Do you think it may be due to more attacks being based on someone's race than their disability?

Re: Ban racists from social media, anti-Semitism report says.
 

Very dubious use of official statistics there. Is the 16% really relating to the whole population or just working age adults?

Re: Ban racists from social media, anti-Semitism report says.
 

No, it was years ago and I don't have the books anymore. As I explained earlier, there was no internet when I took my degree.

I don't know as i've not compared attacks based on race as opposed to disability, but I don't see the relevance. If it is wrong to incite racial hatred, it is wrong to incite hatred towards other minority groups regardless.

An interesting question. The statistics came from Channel 5; so they would be the best people to contact for an answer.

Re: Ban racists from social media, anti-Semitism report says.
 

I know the answer, but had hoped you'd actually check something for yourself for once. My question came about because I'm aware of the governments statistics which do not quite agree with your assertion. So may I suggest you search the gov.uk website for facts before you spout rubbish.

Credibility is like virginity - you can only loose both once.
