		<description>theotherone: The CPS dismiss over 80% of rape cases because of that very fact: There were only two people involved, no witnesses and it&#039;s &quot;Your word against theirs&quot;. It may be an unpalatable fact, but there is legally very little they can do. It is pointless bring this to a very expensive court case only for it to be dismissed through lack of evidence.</description>

		<description>I am glad that people are reporting hate crimes as I have worked on this for nearly 10 years BUT its so frustrating that people are still being targeted because of their sexual orientation!  Yes, you can blame this on extreme Christian and Muslim views but its also an ignorance and irrational issue.  Kick Homophobia out of schools and sport!</description>

		<description>Philip - truly shocking events for you to have experienced. I hope you get some redress and find a safe environment.

As your blog and emails starkly prove, gay-hatred is as prevalent as ever. I think it is behoven for anyone concerned with injustice to be aware of your story, and dare I say it, support you.

Anyone who has had any experience with the Politbureau of the council, NHS or other government orifice will know how lamentably dire their snail&#039;s pace of action is. With regard to gay issues and rights, it is not unimaginable that an individual&#039;s personal prejudices can hinder your justifiable demands.

As for the implication that immigrants from backward countries and Muslims from anywhere are, by and large, homophobic, the collective &quot;we&quot; of gay people are possibly the most demonized of groups in Britain today. Religious affiliation is not equivalent, being a freely chosen belief system devoid of any human endowements. Thus if &quot;human rights&quot; and &quot;political correctness&quot; is to be defined by anyone, it must surely be the oppressed, and we, the most oppressed, have the biggest say. For the most vilified to raise large objections to immigration and Islam can only be pertinent and poignant.</description>

Stewart 23:

You said:

&quot;There is no evidence that Muslims are &quot;denying your rights&quot; in practice.&quot;

Ever hear of 9/11? Do you have any idea how many assasinations have been carried out by muslims following sharia law since 9/11? You have a computer, USE IT! Check out &quot;Jihad Watch&quot; and be sure sure to bring your barf bag.

Letter carriers have pepper spray to defend themselves from loose and threatening dogs, don&#039;t they?

		<description>jesus paul - keep us posted on your situation.

As to the charges of Racism: I talked this over the last time I was drunk with a Polish person at a party (this was 7 or 8 months ago - I don&#039;t get drunk often) and said I was scared I was becoming a racist. He said it wasn&#039;t racism, merely a reaction to what I had experienced. 

If others have suffered at the hands of some communities as I have then the same applies.</description>

		<description>Yes, by all means report hate crime to police, I have repeatedly!
But...
Do not expect police to record it as such...no matter how much you may insist. I have...Not happened!
Do not expect a visit from a Diversity officer...no matter how much you insist. I have...NO show!
Do not expect the homophobic attitudes &amp; practises you encounter from police officers to be addressed even if you report it...I have...completely ignored.

Yes, do report homophobic incidents, just don&#039;t trust or expect the still deeply homophobic police as an organisation to do anything about it...I no longer do!</description>

		<description>Ms Lyn Brown MP your reference:LB/SDAVY/DAVI01009
19 May 2009. And
your reference: LB/RPS/DAVI01009
10 August 2009,

Joe Duckworth Chief Executive  24th July 2009 your reference MP case 22644.
Farrah Sheikh legal and democratc services your reference: fs/lb/22644. Date 12 June 2009.


Today&#039;s date 17/10/09 Saturday October.

The violence and persecution that I have been suffering for a number of years is continuing.

On leaving my property to go out on 18th Aug 09 
I was chased by a large group of people who were carrying weapons 
one of them hit me with an axe I continued to run until I reached Manor Road
I called the police on my mobile phone just as the large group of people managed to surround me the police arrived and give chase they never managed to catch anybody.

The police took photographs of my injury and took a statement
the police managed to recover the axe that the person dropped.

The police showed me a number of photographs of people who are known to them
and asked me if I recognised any of them I didn&#039;t recognise any of them.

The gay organisation Stonewall Housing told me to leave the property straight away which I did! I fled to Clacton on Sea Essex and asked for asylum..  Tendring District council contacted the police in Newham
who gave them a list of crime numbers of all the incidents that have been happening to me.
Tendring District council  put me on the rent deposit scheme for private accommodation for myself
until Newham homes re-house me as they should have done in 2008.

Police Sergeant Fleming told me he had given all crime reference numbers previously to
George Owurani neighbourhood services manager who should have passed them on to housing and public protection (Lettings).

Lettings say I am not a priority because they have no police reference numbers from George Owurani,
and as such  &quot; I am not a priority for re-housing&quot;.

Newham council have now cut off my housing benefit for my home in Newham 3 Old Barrowfield E15  and say I now have arrears of £680
and they say they intend to apply to the court for an order requiring me to give up possession of my home.

I have explained to the benefit department that I am more than willing to go to court
and explained my situation in court.

Joe Duckworth&#039;s secretary put me through to complaints?  and asked me to speak to
Priscilla, about George Owurani, which I did..  The next day I received a phone call from
George Owurani, who told me he &quot;did pass on all crime reference numbers to Lettings
but the person he passed on the references to left the department on that day
and forgot to pass on the crime reference details&quot;. 

He George Owurani, says he will do it again that is passed on all the crime reference numbers
for Lettings to decide whether I should be a priority or not... Tut tut tut!

If you read the Newham recorder in the crime section that person who was attacked and hit by an axe
is me.  They are asking for any witnesses..

They say I may have to wait some time for  Lettings to decide.

My partner David had his front teeth knocked out top and bottom they slashed him across the face with a knife
in 2008.  They tore out my eyeball.  They&#039;ve hit me with baseball bats.  They have hit me with a axe.

The police have done all they could they have been good.
Newham Council have been absolute bastards.

I have lost every think my partner.  My furniture. And every think that matters to me.

On the 17th of October I will return to  my home in Newham 3 Old Barrowfield E15  

I have explained to everybody how other councils classed me as a priority for rehousing
but Newham Council seem to be deliberately trying to get me killed...

I am going to return to my property even though I do not want to...
I will open my doors and windows and wait for the attack to happen
I have had enough of Newham homes...  When something does happen as it will
you will all have a copy of this e-mail you will all know how Newham homes managed to get me killed.


If my spelling is dreadful or I have missed out words it&#039;s because my eyesight is damaged from a previous attack.
I am Gay and I don&#039;t care if you do dislike it.. Do what you like.

		<description>My hatred of the catholic cult is well established Stewart - again not the individual catholics who are willing to leave me alone - just those catholic cultists who campaign against equality.

As you say there is no evidence that the muslim cult in general is denying my rights. 

But the evidence that the organised muslim cult in Britain is bigotted and stupid is very clear. 1 indisputable fact remains -  not a single mainstream muslim organisation in Britain is opposed to homophobia. 

Therefore not a single muslim organisation in Britain has any right to whine about islamophobia.

Islamophobia is a myth. Muslims are FULLY covered under equality laws. The equality laws do not cover their zany, voluntary beliefs. Nor should they.</description>

		<description>Simon I wasn&#039;t singling you out, but if the cap fits...Muslims are not the only religious group to take a moral stand on homosexuality.  Catholics and parts of our Anglican Church do too.  If you put that into context, Muslims represent 2.7% of the population have only 4 MP&#039;s and make up only 1% of the police.  There is no evidence that Muslims are &quot;denying your rights&quot; in practice, our indigenous population are more then capable of doing that themselves.  Suggest you find another whipping horse...</description>

		<description>No 18: Stewart: &quot;Interesting how a report on attacks on our community is met by a whole load of prejudice against other minorities.&quot;

I am not prejudiced against muslim people. Their voluntary, freely chosen belief system is totally fine with me so long as they don&#039;t try to use it to deny me my rights.

Why is is that EVERY mainstream muslim group in the UK considers homosexuality deeply immoral. The muslims (who chose to be muslim, unlike gay people who do not choose to be gay) who share this view are moronic bigots and they have no right to whine about islamophobia.</description>

		<description>No, it&#039;s not their nationality that makes the majority of Polish people so homophobic. It&#039;s their religion. Religion should have no part whatsoever in intercultural dialogue that the EU so desperately wants to see.

Any kind of religion; Christianity, Islam or even funny tribal religions those savages have in Africa.</description>

		<description>and what is prejudism? That women aren&#039;t allowed to drive cars in Saudi Arabia or women are being stoned to death in Iran and other muslim countries? Or that muslims, like many other religious people, hate gay people?

None of those are prejudism. Just facts.</description>

		<description>The muslims is not near the same level of prejudism compared to gay people. Islam is a religion/political movement that attacks gays and women and more than one billion people are muslims. So it is a very strong religion that oppresses everyone else.

The enormous difference between religion and the gay movement is that while religion demands the rest of society lives the same way as they, gay people only want the same rights as the rest of society.

Gay people don&#039;t everyone to be gay while religion demands everyone to follow their religion.

And again: islamofobia doesn&#039;t exist.</description>

		<description>Interesting how a report on attacks on our community is met by a whole load of prejudice against other minorities.  People are marginalised by their differences.  Equality is advanced when as a collective we look beyond those differences and recognise our common humanity.  Not a whole lot of that going on here unfortunately.</description>
