Victoria Derbyshire Interviews Katie And Harvey Price
February 6, 2019
Today, my favourite TV journalist Victoria Derbyshire devoted the first half of her programme to interviewing the wonderful Katie Price and her wonderful son Harvey. They spoke about Harvey’s Law- the law Katie is campaigning for to make online abuse of disabled people a hate crime- and many other important and interesting things.
It’s well worth a watch, so I am linking to it here.

It is a Disability Hate Crime offline already, but not online, as was mentioned in the interview.
*Hate* crime is an add-on to a sentence for a crime (harsher sentence)
All of these can be committed online, any can be ‘Hate’ crime.
