There were an estimated 67,000 gender based hate crimes recorded by police in the UK in 2018 of which 57,000 of them targeted women and girls - fawcettsociety.org.uk/Handlers/Downl…

X : Do you think the Conservative Party is racist?
Me : I think they have a big issue with Islamophobia with a large number of their members which they need to sort out but the Conservatives are nothing like AfD, the Freedom Party or National Rally.
