It was with you quoting it as a supportive fact to your arguments without realising that it wasn't in line with the article it covered.

But I did no such thing. I just used the wording of the headline to provide a link to the article which I had read in full. The article is there for anyone to read and you did so. As far as I can tell your argument is simply with the headline hence my suggesting you take it up with them. Is the BBC article more to your liking? Do you think that because they report an increase in hate crime of a measly 41% overall on the previous year that it is OK?
