Wait, it's ILLEGAL in Britain? Like...just saying something discriminatory as an individual (not representative of a work place). Wow, that's some nice censorship there.
Saying something discriminatory as an individual would be pretty much impossible to police, wouldn't it?
Nah, more along the lines of "publicly inciting racial/religious/etc. hatred towards a race/group/sector/minority/etc."
Interpretations tend to wiggle a teensy bit depending on whether you represent a work place or group but, generally, you can say whatever shit you like (though it's frowned upon) but suggesting any kind of "action" is illegal.
So:
"JEWS SUCK!" = Legal but assholish "JEWS SUCK! LET'S KILL THEM!" = Illegal and assholish.
