Religious hate crimes up 40% in the last year alone. Shame on you @sajidjavid. Words have consequences and your pandering to the far right increases the risk of violence against British Asians. https://t.co/G8gtdhcg9f https://t.co/9Ti5Kqvib7

Wow. A Home Secretary bringing race into it. What has the fact they are Asian got to do with it? https://t.co/Kq2jtoH76i

These sick North American paedophiles…
These sick European paedophiles…
It wouldn’t happen with any other continent, so why are you specifying their heritage?
They didn’t commit these crimes because of where they came from, yet you purposefully chose to include it?

In the US the myth of ‘no-go areas’ in the UK is regularly parped out by MAGA chuds. It’s a far right, racist dog whistle. Javid chucking it around is a very disturbing development. https://t.co/mUSLjQiS8V

To refer to criminals by their ethnicity crosses a new line for a British Home Secretary; another new low for a government already breaking all records for plumbing the depths. https://t.co/FMxuiXblfH
