Race Relations (Public Order Act 1986)
It is an offence to display, publish, or distribute
material that is threatening, abusive, or insulting if the
publisher intends to stir up racial hatred. If racial hatred
is actually stirred up, this also falls under the definition.
The offence can be committed without any intent to stir
up racial hatred and as a result, a journalist must
be aware of inflammatory speeches and election
manifestos.
