Hypothetical.

Your next door neighbour is a right obnoxious, ****. A tosser of the first order so you're in the pub and you tell your mate about said neighbour and say you cannae stand the so and so. Nothing more than that. If said neighbour is the white hetero***ual as mentioned in an earlier post then I'm perfectly sure no one would be offended or complain or in the unlikely event that someone did the police would take no action whatsoever. On the other hand if said neighbour was from an ethic minority group, homo***ual or any of the growing number of subdivisions in the LGBTQ+ and the rest community, fat, ginger headed, even disabled then..........................................!

And another thing that gets on my thrupenny bits. It's folk that get offended on other folks behalf meaning it doesn't have to be said neighbour that complains but some other busybody with little to occupy their time. It's even possible, as far as I can make out, that this shambles of a legislation could be used by the third party busybody even if said neighbour wasn't offended and couldn't care less about it in the first place.

It's just plain lunacy.
