In 1984 they had the daily 'Two Minutes Hate' so everyone could get it out of their system, plus the annual 'Hate Week' festivities. Of course the target of all this hate was the diabolical revolutionary outlaw Emmanual Goldstein, so I'm not sure that jew-hating wasn't politically correct in that world. But it should be remembered that in Airstrip One, actions meant nothing.... it was the thought of unorthodoxy that was the crime. I wonder what the definition of "hate crime" is in England?

What is Hate Crime?

Hate Crime is a broad term taken to mean any crime where the perpetrators' prejudice against an identifiable group of people is a factor in determining who is victimised. This would include race, homophobia, disability and religious grounds. So if an individual believed she/he is a victim because he/she is part of a group, the crime would be recorded as a hate crime.

What is Surrey Police policy on Hate Crime?

Surrey Police with its partners take hate crime very seriously and treat them as a priority when they are reported. This means we want to increase the reporting of such incidents and take positive action wherever possible.
