Urban myth or Section 5 of the Public Order Act 1986?
Again, people have actually been sacked, forced to resign, heavily criticised, etc for having a private conversation that was overheard by a uninvolved third party. Are you really saying that there have been no examples of that happening? Can't remember specific details.

Evidence of the hate element is not a requirement. You do not need to personally perceive the incident to be hate related. It would be enough if another person, a witness or even a police officer thought that the incident was hate related.

"Thought" as in imagined or falsely claimed. It means certain groups can bully people, if they choose to.
