There have always been instances of "Hate Crime" in Britain [[that is since the term was invented .. previously it was just considered to be "crime") and there has certainly been a rise in the reporting of it in the last few weeks. Part of this rise may be due to people being encouraged to report anything they might think is suspicious and possibly some incidents are ones that people previously would have considered too trivial to bother anyone with.

Sometimes this rise in "hate" could be mere paranoia. As an example, in the video with the CNN article we are asked to believe that a very well-spoken Finnish lady has been the victim of some misdemeanor simply because some stranger told her loudly that she had a "nice accent".
