All forms of race hate are to be abhorred. Gypsy/ Travellers and Roma communities are particularly easy targets. This kind of vile rant should not be allowed on Facebook and should be taken exactly for what it is. 'Incitement to Racial Hatred'.

Agreed, Mary. As you will know, the Council of Europe Advisory Committee  of the FRAMEWORK CONVENTION FOR THE PROTECTION OF NATIONAL MINORITIES is visiting the UK at the moment. During their visit to Edinburgh yesterday they were presented with this petition, the signatures to date, media articles and a transcript of the race hate comments made on Facebook.

 

Thanks to all who have signed the petition, please continue to share with family and friends. The petition will remain open for signing until the end of March.
