Examples of Hate Crime - Abuse on a bus

This is an extract from our training film 'Speak up and Stop Hate Crime'.
It is the story of a person who has a learning disability and what happens when he becomes a victim of hate crime on his bus journey.

Why isn’t Britain a safe place for anyone who is disabled? This horrifying trend needs to stop RIGHT NOW!!! It makes decent people cry tears of rage.

This needs to stop immediately right NOW many people think all of us that have illnesses and disabilities think we can't do anything for ourselves but we can do it I have mental health problems and learning disabilities I can do things myself

I have been called a criminal, but I am not. I have never been arrested though. I rather not share my diagnosis because I think the people in the comments would be insensitive. My family is insensitive about my disability, and I didn’t get a job at Panera Bread because they asked me what is the nature of my disability.

I’m disabled and some people think that my brain is disabled not my body 🤨
