29 Mp's have signed the Early Day motion was yours among them? Check out the link here:
http://edmi.parliament.uk/EDMi/EDMDetails.aspx?EDMID=35733&SESSION=891

The hate crime petition ended with 7126 signatures. It may result in a change in a law in the UK but only if YOU act now.

Please write to your local MP about the importance of this issue and ask them to back the call for a debate/motion . This website makes it easy it will take a few moments.

Use your own words or quotes from newspapers as that will have more force (chain letters get ignored), but remember to point out that the police in the Sophie case treated it as a hate crime throughout and that the attack on Sophie horrific as it was is just one example of a wider intolerance and abuse that alternative people can face, this includes not just subcultures like goths, emos, metalers, punks, and skaters but anyone who just wants to express an individual style. No-one should face abuse or violence because of the way they dress. You could use examples from your own experience or that of your friends.

Please post back on this thread if you get any kind of response as people are trying to keep track of all MPs who are backing this proposal and those against it.

How the hell did these dumb bastards only get sentenced 16&18 years, This is clearly Murder 1 which is minimum of 25years and these two can be charged as adults for such a brutal act. This should also be considered a hate crime so add 4 or 5 years to the sentence why don't you. Hell make an example out of these two, put them on death row. Let it be known that we have rights to dress/act as we wish, let it be known that we will not just sit back and take abuse from low life scum bags like this.

they attacked probably only attacked him because they looked like goths and he had a girlfriend and they are all sexually frustrated from being born with those faces. they would never get laid so they took it out on him and she got in the way...It happened to me before, except she got home and i got my running shoes on. i hope they come out for good behaviour early so they can get lynched after an extended period of being the 'bitch'

I don't give the slightest fuck if they were too young or didn't know what they were doing, or had a bad childhood, or took daddy's pale meat their whole lives.

Two of these fuckers decided to execute a helpless young girl on the spot. Society has rules, and they must be abided by. There are plenty of honorable families in the world in the past and now which would've said 'yes, execute my child for this heinous crime'. All five should be hung really. Their racist parents want a war, too.

Once you are old enough to know right from wrong you should be held accountable for your actions. This was pack mentality plain and simple. The Gov't did not create these animals. Their's was a conscious decision to attack two innocent people and brutally murder one of them.

They are animals and should be treated as such. Kept in a cage, fed from a trough and herded outside to shit on the lawn. Once they have outlived their usefulness, they should be put down like animals.

Five years or four years and four months is not enough!!!

[xXxEndlessxDarkxXx]

I start to get unbelievible angry when I see the murders faces..

I started to cry when I heard about this story. It´s absolutely inhuman..

[RedBryn]

These scumbags are the product of neglect, by a government that allows them to fester & breed at OUR expense. No truly civilised country would allow this, but sadly our government has seemingly bigger priorities - like stitching up the Earth's mineral resources, for it's rich, powerful, friends in industry.

Our once proud working class is now being eroded by these scallies & chavs, they make life on our estates hell, & the police are seldom seen. Fucked up priorities, I think. People matter!

[Amorphustruth]

Education on tolerance issues ....are you kidiing me? Low class, dirt poor, minimally educated, council estate, ASBO fodder were responsible for this, how the hell do they intend to educate people who find it painful to even think.

As long as these kind of people exist(and they always will) this kind of thing will continue to happen.

As this is Uk would be surprised if these attackers will actually saw any REAL jail time- remember james bulger?

[cuttlefisch]

Chavs should be all sterilised to stop them reproducing. Death to all pramfaced scum.
