Most places in the civilized world, when one civilian attacks another in a “hate crime,” it’s because that other person is noticeably *other.* Things like a different ethnicity, a different nationality, different religion, different sexuality. But Brits… they clobber each other over the silliest things:
Shocking moment pregnant woman viciously beat shopper because of her Scottish accent
If the Daily Fail here is to be trusted, one woman pounded another simply because the second had a Scottish accent. This occurred in some place called “South Tyneside,” which I looked up on Google Maps… it’s a whole 125 miles from Edinburgh, Scotland. For giggles, I checked the distance from where I am to Provo, Utah… 122 miles.
Figure *that* one out. Remember, this is the same UK that likes to beat up redheads.
