Original Note:
Calling someone a horrible name is not a crime. For verbal abuse to be considered a “hate crime” it must be a contributing factor in an initial crime such as an illegal harassment or public order offence. The hate component is then treated as an additional separate offence. https://www.cps.gov.uk/crime-info/verbal-abuse-and-harassment-public
